Really underrated game. I remember playing this one a little back in the late 90s, a few people in the Fire Pro scene liked it as well. It's a lot of fun, and a lot of options that we still don't see often enough for a lot of newer games (like guest referee).

Wrestling games were the holy grail to me as a kid. I still remember trying to convince my self I liked European Rampage on the Amiga ☠️ wish I'd have known about the fire pro games, I did actually love Royal Rumble on my SNES, but would have been so excited to find all of these other titles. Great videos my man, I absolutely love them 💪🏻

Awesome video! I'd really recommend sitting down and familiarizing yourself with the katakana alphabet, especially if you want to seriously get into imported Japanese games. The letters are fairly simple to learn and you can really take advantage of the Japanese tendency to use English loan-words; the menu shown at 1:21 is about 50% understandable just with the ability to read katakana, which really helps reduce your reliance on looking back and forth at a guide. I learned katakana to help me play a different series, Super Robot Wars, that was Japanese exclusive (at the time) and it really helped reduce my frustration with navigating/memorizing menus.

A few years ago I discovered an absolute gem of a game. Kings Soul AJPW for ps1 (japan only). Its a 3d wrestler made by Human, who made the Fire pro games. They were the precursor to the king of colloseum ps2 games, but I prefer this ps1 game cause the pacing of the matches are more in line with a 90s AJPW match (KOC and KOC2 was too arcadey for my taste) You should do a review someday!!

I'd love to see videos covering the Japanese versions of Wcw/Nwo Revenge and World Tour. I found both games at a hole in wall video rental store back when I was a kid and they blew my mind. They were both so far ahead of the American versions. THQ added moves and aspects to those games that weren't available in America until Wrestlemania 2000 was released. Not gonna lie I have "permanently rented" one of those Japanese versions.

Burning Pro STINKS. I used to play Fire Pro Wrestling X Premium on emulators in The 90's. i played it in the 90's the only cool thing about it was having wrestlers as The Referee & Playing as a Ref. All Japan was very good for SNES but came to US as Natsume Championship Wrestling. Konami made an awesome Japanese wrestling game I believe it was called Hybrid Pro Wrestling it was more like Slam Masters not based on real wrestlers but had GREAT Weapons based matches & striking that even Fire Pro Lacks in Collision Detection.

It's so stupid how this rip-off games had a better roster than the actual licensed games, and in most cases it was simply because companies just wanted the game out asap with as little money put into it as possible. Even in the early 2000s we had Smack Down and RAW games remove wrestlers from the game (or hide as you showed in one of your reviews) because of time, or the wrestler got injured so WWE didn't want to pay them any royalties from the game.
