No surprises here, but I have to relay the information that THQ have revealed the first information on WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009. This is the part where those of you who have nasty things to say about wrestling games go take a nap, because we get it — you don’t like them. Well, guess what? I do. So quiet down for a second.

As expected, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 will feature wrestling, and will be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Wii, Nintendo DS, and mobile devices this fall. Along with the expected roster updates this new iteration will be the first to feature downloadable content (Xbox 360 and PS3 only, presumably), a new emphasis on the tag-team experience, and a new “Create-A-Finisher” feature. The emphasis on tag-team ties right into the game’s new cooperative career mode, another first for the series.

The press release can be found after jump, and THQ have released some screenshots of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game to whet your appetites. I don’t mean to begin anything, but am I the only one who can see a significant visual difference between the 360 and PS3 screens? Ouch.
