There’s a new player in town and they’re bringing a whole new attitude with them. Slang is the first Mexican-based publisher to bring a video game to the mass market. Its initial entry? Lucha Libre AAA 2010: Héroes del Ring, a wrestling game featuring stars from the Mexican-based AAA (Asistencia Asesoría y Administración) wrestling league.[8]
