TNA Impact!: Cross the Line (stylized as TNA iMPACT!: Cross The Line) is a professional wrestling video game for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) and Nintendo DS consoles, released by SouthPeak Games in June 2010. The game is a port of TNA Impact!, a game originally developed by Midway Studios Los Angeles and Point of View, Inc., released by Midway Games in the fall of 2008. The PSP version is largely the same as the original release, though the Nintendo DS version was specially configured by DoubleTap Games.[2]
Development
In 2009, SouthPeak Games acquired Midway Games' TNA video game license.[3] In June 2010, the company published TNA Impact!: Cross the Line for PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS.[4] The game is essentially the same as the TNA iMPACT! release, with the addition of several new wrestlers such as Mick Foley and Consequences Creed, and the removal of older ones, such as Christian Cage, who departed the promotion in 2008.
Hulk Hogan made his TNA video game debut in the Nintendo DS version, though he is not available in the PlayStation Portable version.[5]
