I first found out about Fire Pro in 9th grade on the library computer at school. A few months later a guy my dad coached in basketball was modding playstation's on the side...for $20 he modded my playstation and asked what game I wanted...I said Fire Pro Wrestling G... It was the beginning of a love affair... No wrestling game ever held a candle to Fire Pro after it. When I knew Fire Pro R was coming to the states I called every GameStop until I found one with it. As soon as I got a PS4 the first game I got was Fire Pro World. Nothing however compares to getting that first one with a 48 page translation guide. It's amazing I had girlfriends in high school lol
I actually got my copy of Fire Pro Wrestling Returns at a local flea market the same year that it was released in the USA for $8 (USA)...that was some money that was well spent in the year 2007.

I'm such a fan of the way you talk about the games. the passion in your voice is infectious. p.s. is that why Aja Kong had the MPM on her boots? Mrs.PatMan, LOL
fun fact, in the previous video when you talk about the controversial ending of the FPW game on Super Famicom, Goichi Suda is known as Suda51 these days, the guy behind Killer 7, No More Heroes and head of the studio Grasshopper Manufacture.
With the exception of world, 6 man scramble is still my favorite just because I had five friends and this one of the few titles we could all play at the same time. The Virtual Pro games and their counterparts on n64 was still the bigger hit amongst the friends. Still loved being able to multi play firepro on the Saturn and even D on Dreamcast.
@Crimeny James, Fire Pro Wrestling World, Fire Pro Wrestling D, and Fire Pro Wrestling R/Returns are the best games of the entire franchise. I also wish for a lot of changes, among them, changing the timer speed (it ran at a MUCH better, as well as more realistic, rate on the Super Famicom FPW games), having good tutorials, having a subtle combination of the classic timing mode combined with how more recent WWE games do that sort of thing, albeit without the big obnoxious signs for it, or such obtuse ones that people miss them, THE RETURN OF AN EASY MODE, THE RETURN OF ACTUAL STORY LINES (Suda 51 was not wrong in his claims, but he was absolutely the wrong person to be doing the project), the ability to rotate the screen Wild Arms 2 and Wild Arms 3 style, actually having wrestlers be able to be slung into the top or bottom turnbuckles from any place in the ring, and especially from the center of the ring (seriously, this series is over thirty years old and such things are STILL not done in Fire Pro Wrestling games when the WWE wrestling games, as well as indie wrestling titles, have been doing them for YEARS now)...I could name instance after instance of failed opportunities for improvement (about 150 of them at last count) to the franchise.
the passion for these games reverbates through your dialogue. i can tell that you love these games so much. i have Fire Pro Wrestling World on my PS5 and Fire Pro Wrestling Returns on PS2. it was so daunting at first but i gotten used to it. i should go play it again
I have those same FPW games (mines for PS4 thou). I think I prefer the PS2 one for some reason. It seems like its got more content/wrestlers, or maybe Im just seeing everything on World. I just figured out how to play a couple months ago and have only spent like 10-20 hours on each.

Growing up a huge wrestling fan & video game fan, ironically I wasn't a big fan of wrestling games until I discovered the Fire Pro series in the mid 90s with 6-Man Scramble. The only wrestling games for me with real replay value. I'd always play the latest Fire Pro regularly for years until a newer version gets released whereas other wrestling games would be either one-and-done for me or I'd get bored after a month. Fire Pro is timeless.
Fire Pro for the GBA wasn't just my introduction to the series but it was also the first game I got for the handheld. And I remember being nervous the whole ride home cause I had never heard of the series before and was worried that I had spent the last of my birthday money on a dud. But luckily I made a great decision and have been a fan of the series ever since even if it's the Dark Souls of wrestling games lol
Fire Pro on the GBA had no right being as good as it was. It was absolutely awesome being able to take fire Pro on the road with you wherever you went. I took it to work with me and played during long service calls while I was waiting twiddling my thumbs on the phone with my bosses :-)
In my home I have WCW/nWo World Tour, WCW/nWo Revenge and WWF No Mercy on Cartridge, VPW 64 and VPW 2 on Emulator and Fire Pro World on PS4...as great as the AKI/THQ games are...I'm usually on Fire Pro.
@@kevynhansyn2902 , and I have a few words to say in response to that, which are, "I consider this as sexual harassment", "I do not go that way", and, "If you try to rape me, then I will make your intestines double as a dildo and you can also get copulated up your own rectum as a result of your attempt to touch me". Needless to say, such lines have worked surprisingly well from those sorts of people not trying to do things that they should not do with me in real life, yes, even with hardened criminals.
Best moments I've had on the Dreamcast! I remember playing this game till 4am at my friend's house. The cool thing about this was we were big wrestling fans, and back then, my friend used his Dreamcast to go on Seganet and go to Japanese websites to find FPR pages where you can download wrestlers from any wrestling company faction,etc. The wrestlers were downloaded into your vmu and then you can play them in-game. And since you can create wrestlers, the DC community made every wrestler imaginable. So we meet up at my friend's place and play the NWO vs Degeneration X, or do an all out royal rumble ( up to 8 wrestlers) where we can choose our downloaded wrestlers (my friends and I used Cain, Rob Vam Dam and Goldberg, while the 5 wrestlers we're CPU controlled, but we selected Andre the Giant, Undertaker, King Kong Bundy, Vader, and Bam Bam Bigalow for it! IT WAS INSANE! You be fast to hit those buttons to pull off the moves. Speaking of moves, since the game was in Japanese, we also found a translated copy of the manual on Seganet on another website and printed it out so we can understand the game menu system. This IS the best wrestling game ever on any console PERIOD. Thanks for uploading this terrific game!
Those tiny timing windows are brutal. I've been trying to wrap my head around Queen's Special, and my first match feels like the end boss in any other game.
I actually just ordered a copy of King's Soul from Japan. I'm really excited to play it now. Same with Fire Pro D, I just got a copy of that in the mail last week (along with the two Giant Gram games and Toukon Retsuden 4). The stuff that came out in Japan was generally a lot better than most of what we got in America. It's a lot of fun to rediscover that stuff, a ton of it still really holds up.
Thanks for sharing this. I did not know this game had so much history. The first time i played this was on my gameboy advance. For me the learning curve was steep, but once i got the hang of it, i loved it. On the GBA the game, to me at least, was very good. Only thing is i could not identify with any of the fighters, i came from the WWF arcade game which has many recognizable characters.
It's astounding what they were able to do on the Super Famicon with the Fire Pro games in Japan, meanwhile America got WWF Raw and...barf, WWF Arcade. I loved Raw, think it's a fun game, and think it's especially impressive how many wrestlers they fit on screen/in ring during the royal rumble mode/match, but it doesnt hold a candle to how much they could pack into and achieve with Fire Pro.
Never played the Fire Pro wrestling gf8yu5 I absolutely loved the mania of my friends playing WWF Raw on Genesis and WCW vs NWO on Nintendo 64! Great video buddy🥶👍🏽💎🛸🛸🚀
More PatmanQC wrestling videos is exactly what I need in my life right now. Cue up Strike Force's "Girls in Cars" and lets go! I'm excited for pt. 3 and hearing what you have to say about FPW World!
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries It's one of my all time favorite wrestling themes. I still don't get why The Million Dollar Man had that as his theme in the Wrestlemania NES game. But boy, do I still love it today!
I take you'll be touching on the vastly underrated King of Colosseum games next video. KOC II is a masterpiece with all the grappling options and templates. Nice to see this franchise get some love already was a fan of your content but this type of retrospective really grabs my attention
Never played the newest one so i dont know how it fares, but Fire Pro Wrestling Returns is the greatest wrestling game i ever played. I do wish they had included a story mode though. The game is super fun to play and the gameplay mechanics are unmatched, but having a mode where you were actually challenged and felt as though you were working to complete/achieve something woulda added a lot to the experience.
Love the vídeo. I AM a fan of the séries. I hope you talk about the Two best wrestling ever made. King colloseum 2 and the new fire pro wrestling world
I've never been a huge fan of wrestling games, probably due to being subjected to the awful Acclaim produced WWF NES game mentioned in the last video. However, I am really enjoying this series and look forward to the next video!
FPW2 on GBA not having promoter mode. It may be rumour but what I heard back in the day is that Kanji text is more efficient to store in memory so the game would need to move to a larger cartridge to fit that mode into english. the wrestler edit slot increase is probably tied into no save data for promoter.
Thing I liked about Fire Pro GBA 2 was it steadily unlocked wrestlers. That way, each one got some spotlight rather than just being a big bucket of selectable characters. Some may have not liked this, but I did. Similar to what Super Smash Bros does.
Personally, I honestly like how WWF: No Mercy did it, which was to unlock more of them that were dependent on what story choices that you made in the game, in particular, with its story lines for its various championships, as well as how much money that you made in the game in order to buy a wrestler with your in game currency. I also would have added some more depth with such things by doing things like Forza Horizon or Gran Turismo style unlocks with the wrestlers being unlocked via the Game Tutorials, just like you could unlock cars via getting Licenses in those games, as well as with fighting certain kinds of matches, using certain weapons in certain types of matches, using certain kinds of moves in matches, timing your moves right, winning a match under certain times and conditions, and other such things that can be unlocked, via both an in game checklist, as well as an Achievement/Trophy List, in the game. Do you think that is a far better system to unlock wrestlers in the game instead, @ViolentLee, et al?
@@paxhumana2015 I don’t hold a GBA wrestling game to the standards of a console one, or big-budget racing games. I just like that some thought was given. The more thought the better, generally.
Just a small point of clarification to avoid confusion. All Japan Pro Wrestling founded by Giant Baba and All Japan Women's were not associated with each other.
Are you going to talk about Character Edit mode more? Being able to make the AI act the way the actual wrestlers do sets FPW series apart from trash WWE games.
I'd school you at Fire Pro Wrestling D on the dreamcast, if we're allowed to use custom characters. My "El Satan" character is a critical! machine. I cant even beat him if I let the PC play as him.
As if this game wasnt hard enough with the stupid "timing" shit, the breathing system really made me hate fire pro.. and its funny cause i consider fire pro wrestling world the best wrestling game in recent memory..
I bet Top Hat Gaming Man could beat you in this game. And considering he is also a real professional wrestler from and working in England, he will do so in real life also.

Just a small point of clarification to avoid confusion. All Japan Pro Wrestling founded by Giant Baba and All Japan Women's were not associated with each other.
I actually referred to them as all Japan women's in the first video just screwed it up in the second
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries All good, wasn't trying to nitpick...great videos.
@@Gotchism4Life No problem, thanks
Was Fire Pro Wrestling Z covered?
That game brought in MMA and K-1 fighters.
Z should be in the next video since he's going through them chronologically.
Are you going to talk about Character Edit mode more? Being able to make the AI act the way the actual wrestlers do sets FPW series apart from trash WWE games.
I mentioned the edit mode several times over the last two videos Including the AI Making your character behave like the real person
Awesome video buddy
Thanks 👍
documentaries you're welcome
Firepro wrestling should have been released in the USA in the first place. 😀👍🎮
A few were actually released here in the states but not many
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries I did know that thanks for telling me. 😀👍🎮
How do you wrestle Chuck Norris?
...
Chuck Norris doesn't wrestle, but you still lose.
finally a wife joke! I was starting to worry about you pal!
Crotch rot? Second times a charm!
LOL

Hit me up on Twitter
Pdqc1971?

PATMAN!!! Dududududududududududududu PATMAN!!!
LOL, thanks
I'd school you at Fire Pro Wrestling D on the dreamcast, if we're allowed to use custom characters. My "El Satan" character is a critical! machine. I cant even beat him if I let the PC play as him.

Despite you being one of my favorite persons, I'd smoke you in any game of your choice. :P
Maybe one day:-)
👍👍
Thank you
I’ve had crotch rot. I’d much rather play any video game to avoid another case of it. Better back that up, Sir
LOL
👍😊👍
now the garbled
As if this game wasnt hard enough with the stupid "timing" shit, the breathing system really made me hate fire pro.. and its funny cause i consider fire pro wrestling world the best wrestling game in recent memory..
When they first introduced it I didn't like it but I'm used to it by now
lol the breathing system is there just for preventing people like you spamming big moves non stop
I bet Top Hat Gaming Man could beat you in this game. And considering he is also a real professional wrestler from and working in England, he will do so in real life also.
Please say your joking and not being a turd!
Whatchoo gonna dooooo?! When PatmanMania runs wild on yooouuuuu jack?!
I would hope he could take me in real life considering I have no hands and no feet
