Guest The Rising Star Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 I was just wondering how many of you are fans of the Fire Pro series.
Guest Kamui Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 I have Fire Pro Wrestling 2 (the US version- think it's 2, might be 1, not sure) for the GBA and Fire Pro Wrestling Z import for PS2. I haven't played either one in a while, but they're both fun, I guess. -Duo
Downhome Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 I have, and still do. My favorite one so far is Fire Pro. Wrestling D for the Dreamcast, I play that all the time and will never get tired of it. I just got a GBA:SP, so I'll be picking up FPA2 pretty soon. Oh yes, FPW action on the go, it'll be wonderfull.
razazteca Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 The 1st Fire Pro on GBA is better than the sequal.
Downhome Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 The 1st Fire Pro on GBA is better than the sequal. Why is that?
razazteca Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Part One has modes of play such as must work Strong Style or Kings Way or Lucha Libre or American.
Guest The Rising Star Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 In the sequel, there isn't a Audience Mode. That mode is the work of some genius. The feeling of seeing a default wrestler having 7 stars under his name, meaning that you have gone through every major pro wrestling style, and passed, is great. My brother even passed the Lucha Style with Rikido, of all people! Other problems with the sequel is that you have to start with 10 guys from WWE ONLY. Then, you must play through Ironman Mode several times to get all 200 wrestlers. It's more annoying than challenging. Not to forget: No 5-on-5 tournaments, no league and no round-robin tournament. Trust us, Downhome, buy Fire Pro 1 instead of 2.
Downhome Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Why in the hell would they do that to a sequel? What was the big selling point for part two? More wrestlers, any added gameplay aspects, etc...?
Guest Kamui Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Part One has modes of play such as must work Strong Style or Kings Way or Lucha Libre or American. If this is true than I have the original, because I remember playing that and enjoying it. -Duo
AndrewTS Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 I have the original Fire Pro Wrestling for GBA, I owned the Saturn's 6 Men Scramble for quite a while, and I really need to get Fire Pro D, but I'm not sure where to pick it up. I'm all set, though, got a DC-X to play it even.
eiker_ir Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 i have Fire Pro D for the Dreamcast and Fire Pro Wrestling Premium X for the SNES awesome games
The Metal Maniac Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 I like 'em. And if I'm not mistaken, the reason Fire Pro 2 lacks stuff that Fire Pro A has is because the Japanese version had a Management Mode, while that was removed from the American version. So bleh.
Matt Young Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 I own Fire Pro D for Dreamcast, and I love it. There was a period of time where I'd play for a couple hours a day. I also have the ROMs of Fire Pro Advance 1 and 2, both American and Japanese. Once I get a Game Boy Player for my new GameCube, I'll purchase the actual games (or at least the 2nd one).
Guest Mindless_Aggression Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 How is Fire Pro Z for the PS2 BTW? I haven't heard much info on that one.
jimmy no nose Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 I used to play Fire Pro D on Dreamcast all the time. I started playing Giant Gram instead recently, I'll probably go back some time though.
dubq Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Six Man Scramble on the Saturn had to be my favourite game. Those six man hyper battle royals were insane!
AboveAverage484 Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Try therage.com, they might still be selling the Dreamcast version. The FPZ is technically better (more moves, season mode, etc.), but FPD has all the American wrestlers unlocked and with right uniform color. For those who aren't in the know, FPZ's American wrestlers had to be made in the CAW feature, which is amazing, probably the best CAW feature in history in any game.
AndrewTS Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Is FPZ 3D or 2D? I'll probably get FPD because I can actually play it. I'm not prepped to play PS2 imports.
Dace59 Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Fire Pro A 1 and 2 for the GBA. SFPWXP from the SNES SFP Queen's Special for the SNES.
Ted the Poster Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 I have both FPA gameboy games, the FPZ import, and SFPWXP for SNES. Ownage.
AndrewTS Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 I repeat: is Fire Pro Z 2D or 3D? Also, anyone know of some good translation guides for Fire Pro D in case I get it?
Ted the Poster Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 FPZ is a 2D game, thankfully. Spike only venture into 3D wrestling was not a good one. Here is the site for FPZ. As far as FPD goes, this is the BEST site for everything about Firepro D.
The Metal Maniac Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Last I had heard, there *may* have been an American version of FPZ coming out. Is it safe to assume that it's not?
Ted the Poster Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Last I had heard, there *may* have been an American version of FPZ coming out. Is it safe to assume that it's not? Sadly, the chances of FPZ being released outside of Japan are about as likely to happen as Mark Henry performing a moonsault.
razazteca Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Fat guys doing a moonsault is not impossible but having a wrestling game that is not sponsored by WWE and using current WWE talent will be hard to find.
LaParkaYourCar Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 I have both Fire Pro's for my GBA Emulator and I like the first one better. The second one didn't have as good of graphics and less options. Unless you get the Japanese version that has manager mode. Fire Pro for the GBA alone has one of the best CAW systems I've ever seen. I was amazed at the CAW's I could make.
Guest Kamui Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Spike only venture into 3D wrestling was not a good one. If you are indeed talking about King of Colosseum, may I ask why you feel this way? I personally loved the game and thought it was better than FPZ by leaps and bounds, but maybe that's just me.
Ted the Poster Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Fat guys doing a moonsault is not impossible but having a wrestling game that is not sponsored by WWE and using current WWE talent will be hard to find. True, but I'm talking about Mark "Anti-Gravity" Henry. If you are indeed talking about King of Colosseum, may I ask why you feel this way? I personally loved the game and thought it was better than FPZ by leaps and bounds, but maybe that's just me. D'oh! I forgot about KOC since I've never played it. I was referring to Spike's FIRST 3D wrestling game, whose name presently escapes me.
