Play WWE SmackDown! Vs. Raw 2008 (Puppa) (E) Online

WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2008 for the Nintendo DS came out in 2007, developed by Yuke's. It was one of the few wrestling games on the platform, arriving when the DS was already well established with its dual screens and touch controls. This version tried to bring the console wrestling experience into a portable format, with a roster and modes scaled down but still recognizable for fans of the series.

You control a wrestler from a top-down perspective, moving with the D-pad and executing grapples, strikes, and signature moves with button combinations. The main goal is to win matches, either in exhibition mode or by progressing through a season storyline. Signature mechanics include using the touch screen for minigames to initiate pin escapes or submission struggles, and managing a stamina meter that depletes with exertion. The pacing is generally fast, with matches that can end quickly if you land a finisher, though longer bouts require more strategy. It feels like a condensed, sometimes clumsy but earnest attempt to translate the spectacle of wrestling into something you can play on the go.
