That first All Japan game looks to share a lot with Acclaim's WWF games. Running into the ring post, the pin fall, the referee animation and the victory animation.
That's what I thought that was. The theme is based on "Denim And Leather" by Saxon, but I noticed that beat, and was like: "Isn't that... Sid's music?"
@@ThrashAD720 we're talking the same track. Remember: WCW had a habit of using production theme tracks that were obvious ripoffs, but for copyright purposes just distinctively different enough, of more famous tracks. In this case, "Metal Demon" is a takeoff on "Denim and Leather" by Saxon. Well done, but still a takeoff on Saxon.
Any game with Liger, Vader, Scott Norton, and Ludvig Borga is a winner in my book! Thanks for the vid, Wrestling Bios! Hope you're having a good break! From now on during Reliving The War, whenever Scott Norton powerslams somebody, you should say he powerslumed him! 😁
As someone who's a fan of Japanese pro wrestling, I can provide some context to some of the stuff you see: 1:30 This is the theme of the AJPW television show that broadcasted on Nippon TV. 2:40 You're facing Yoshinari Ogawa. He became GHC Heavyweight Champion (despite being a junior) in Pro Wrestling NOAH. 5:10 You're facing Rusher Kimura, a longtime star of puro, specifically known for working numerous cage matches in the IWE.
I've had a long day at work, then I come home to find I can get stoned and watch this totally unscripted WB video. I remember three years ago when I'd watch your informative, somewhat monotone (no offense at all, it was very relaxing) videos to help me get to sleep. Now I feel like I'm hanging out with you after work. Really love how your content has evolved over the years, friend.
The All Japan 3.4 game was translated and released outside Japan as Natsume Championship wrestling. The roster members were given cosmetic differences and name changes for copyright reasons, but it's still the same game.
If I'm correct the AJPW games were programmed by the same group that eventually made that Royal Pro 3D0 game that you featured a while back. It even had a similar audience rating system as well.
This is a great opportunity for you to make videos about puroesu, your way of narrating is great and it would be really cool for you to tell the story of Hayabusa for example or the rivalry of Misawa and kawada or even the rise of joshi wrestling
"proceeds to name the most well know names in Japanese wrestling history" I don't see how that implies that he is into Japanese wrestling, is like saying "I'm into WWE, I know John Cena and Randy... and John Cena and Randy... oh and Hulu Hogan and the rock... and John Cena..." Either way, he proves he is not into Japanese wrestling in RELIEVING THE WAR series and in his channels, he barely mentioned or talks about Japanese matches when he talks about good matches or shows.
Ah Technos, the makers of Double Dragon and more pertinent to this channel, WWF Superstars and WrestleFest. Not surprised their game was fairly decent. =P
The main take-away of joshi wrestling is that it's not like 90s WWF womens' wrestling or Rumble Roses. It's just women trying to discover if humans have neckbones by throwing each other head-first into the ring, and launching devastating kicks straight at the head.

I know it’s a little late but I got the full translation for the all Japan game
unlike all these smarks, I have no fake memories of playing these back in the day nor did I ever play those “fire pro wrestling” series of games, the closest exposure I ever had to JP wrasslin’ games was Slam Masters
Unfortunately, as sad as it may be, the life of this channel is ticking down to the end of the Reliving the War series... Most people won't care too much to view all of the videos after that once it's said and done, including myself. The meat and potatoes is RTW and it is by far my favorite wrestling content on TH-cam and I've even bought every single t-shirt that has been sold.
He's taking a break. He pre-made some videos to upload while he is gone for us. iirc some of them were the recent RTW episodes. This channel is a lot of tine consuming hard work as you probably know :)
@@NicTubeVids Yeah, I bet it is hard work. To keep things upto standard, we all need to take breaks. We'll after the Fire Pro Video that is. To take a break before that's done would be sacrilege lol
Remember Scott Steiner when he had a human body and could pull off incredible moves like walking around and breathing?
That's because this was before Steiner became a Math addict.
@@loboneiner1034SIXTY SIX AND TWO THIRDS
The AJPW games are some of the best. Google Translate camera mode is a blessing for playing these games.
did i see Guerrero on that roster?🔥😎
@@Machete87 he's in some of the NJPW games as Black Tiger
I am in sheer envy at that collection of beautiful labels. Miss the days of some very sweet box art
That card-battler where you play as Baba is very interesting. I'd love to try a game like this (but in English lol).
"When reliving the war ends....." I don't want to live in a world without Reliving the War
Just start over again at the beginning when that day comes.
@@gsesquire3441that's the plan my friend...
Hoping he changes his mind and covers the Brand Wars series or something for the ruthless Aggression era
@@loboneiner1034he really should till 07 atleast

Fun Fact The Steiner Brothers New Japan theme is the same theme Sid used in WCW in the early 90's.
Fun fact I’m still laughing @ how he got perfected by Thunder Liger
That's what I thought that was.
The theme is based on "Denim And Leather" by Saxon, but I noticed that beat, and was like: "Isn't that... Sid's music?"
@@Estolcles The theme I am talking about is called Metal Demon by Clive Harrison.

@@Estolcles I honestly didn't realize it sounded like a Saxon song until you pointed it out.

@18:30 Big Poppa Plump 😂
Saturday Night Slam Master is a great game!
I remember renting that from Blockbuster and I was put off it wasn't WWF, but I was pleasantly surprised. Great game.
When reliving the War ends..... We start again brother....

Lol, you feel like you're hanging out with him after work, unscripted, cracking open a cold one. He smiles at you and you blush. 😂😂
“when reliving the war ends” we’re still in 98 brother

Gotta love the lawyer friendly version of Ric Flair in that one Hybrid Wrestler game.
That 2nd fight was pure gold. Great video as always
ok that balcony stage is pretty bomb. quik ring outs remind me of games like soul blade caliber or battle arena Toshinden vibes
What do I need after working a long shift on the job?
a 50 minute video from the Jam Master Wrestling Bios?
SIGN ME UP WOO!
Japan really love their pro wrestling, and they’ve made so many Super Famicom games. The Shin Nippon Wrestling series are the best ones ever made.
Ringside angels was surprisingly good!
This is a great opportunity for you to make videos about puroesu, your way of narrating is great and it would be really cool for you to tell the story of Hayabusa for example or the rivalry of Misawa and kawada or even the rise of joshi wrestling
Masakatsu Funaki vs Rey Mysterio in Pancrase is definitely something i would’ve paid money for at the time
Fire Pro Wrestling on the Super Famicom was wonderful. But there was some really good titles here.
Jeez! Lyger beat you like he had a stack of receipts for you!😂
Love your videos ❤ we appreciate all the hard work you do thank you 🙌🤟🤙👌🤘
One of the AJPW games made it to the states as Natsume Championship Wrestling IIRC
You said you were slowing down on videos......I'm SUPER happy you didn't. I love your channel man. Love your work! Thank you 👍.🤟🔥🤟
"I'm not into Japanese wrestling."
Proceeds to name every Japanese wrestler in the game...
"proceeds to name the most well know names in Japanese wrestling history" I don't see how that implies that he is into Japanese wrestling, is like saying "I'm into WWE, I know John Cena and Randy... and John Cena and Randy... oh and Hulu Hogan and the rock... and John Cena..."

that was such a great video!
One of the AJPW games was localized as Natsume Championship Wrestling. Can't remember which one though.
*Says Redshoes* That is Tiger Hattorii Good SIR!
Most of these haven't aged well
The All Japan game on Saturn is a masterpiece though any Sega All Japan game really
Keep up the great work!! 🫡🫡
A fun look at gaming history. I'd be very curious to see more of the board/card game, if there were ever an English patch.
I love this video, my only question though...whats your dogs name?
the first game actually has an english version called natsume championship wrestling
AJPW reminds of the MCW wrestling game released for the SNES.
Yep, Same game without the AJPW License for western audiences.
Oh yeah, baby, I love this place
When reliving the war ends can't wait to start reliving the war again
The Lyger squash match 🤣🤣🤣
Ah Technos, the makers of Double Dragon and more pertinent to this channel, WWF Superstars and WrestleFest. Not surprised their game was fairly decent. =P
Hosted fire pro classics for about 65 weeks , promos written champions stories and all done with chatters from the channel 😅 long live thakpn!
New japan pro wrestling 3 toukon retsuden for the ps1 is my favorite all time wrestling game. You should check that one out.
🎉
ok that was sweet u can do the steiner screwdriver😎🔥🤟
These games look like fun
On the Great Story game, here's something I noticed. Watch the ref, he moves stupid smooth and at like 5 times the frame rate.
This was a total debacle 😎
Awesome games and great reviews....are we getting Reliving the War this week, tho? 👀
u also got Scott's bro Rick on NJPW Battle 7
AJPW Is on the Switch online service as Natsume Pro Wrestling
wtf lol how have I not seen this yet! 🎉
That boxing game reminds me of the boxing game in Wii Sports. 😆
27:37 He chokeslammed him all the way to hell!!!!!
Awesome Video I didn't even know that these games existed lol.
And it only took you 1 minute to watch it... Amazing!
These kind of videos Really are a good time.
Thank You for making them.
😄👍
oooh Wrestle Queens was hard to look at. quite the eyesore
3-4 Budokan is the best one and probably the best wrestling game on SNES other than FPX Premium
Yea you still got over 2 years of reliving the war yet to go as I type this

Tsuruta Army VS Super Generation Army
Baba's professional wrestling dojo service. I know it’s a little late but I got the full translation for the all Japan game
Question? Why can't we get any decent games like this on our phones in 2022 without downloading a dodgy emulator or am I missing something?
Now you have to do PS1 Japanese games lol
❤❤❤❤
Cutie Suzuki game as her and a bunch of wrestlers base off real Wrestlers I think??
@wrestlingbios if u want to win by submission more often. You need to use the go to move. A CHIN LOCK
First 15 minutes and no chin lock…. Wtf!!!
Yo, I am the undisputed champion of getting shouted at by a little dude.
🤔
Wooooooooooooo

Finally an honest person. now suddenly 100% of the people commenting have this game and played as a kid lol.

Why are you talking like that ? From a longtime listener, dont do that too much, not that great 🤷😉
Yeah, he needs to stick to scripted content. This ain’t it.
Where is reliving the war ?
He just had the entire Fire Pro Series for Super Famicom arrive. It was be sacrilege if there wasn't a delay.
He’s taking a break I think he’ll be back either next week or the week after
