After the tease on Twitter last week, Spike Chunsoft announced they will be returning to the Fire Pro Wrestling series with Fire Pro Wrestling World.

The most recent entry in the series was 2012’s Fire Pro Wrestling for Xbox 360. The series is known for not having any licensed characters on the roster, but instead creating characters that hold likenesses to real life wrestlers with different names.

In order to distinguish itself among other fighting games, the game uses a grabbling based timing system that adds strategy to the sport as well as assists the game’s special move mechanics. This, combined with a large variety of different modes and character the game has kept the series relevant since its first release in 1989.

Pumped. Would like a Vita version to go along with the PS4 one, so please based Spike Chunsoft

Either way I'm really excited for this. I remember importing the PS1 and Dreamcast games. Good didn't I have no idea what half the stuff was and I was terrible but still.

Honestly the game has never been a looker, but some of the older games are considered to be good/fun games. I will definitely get this for Steam and if it ever comes out for Switch (not port begging) I will double dip.

 

[TI82]

grabbling

is that the name of the ingame system or does he not know how to spell grappling lol

 

[theclosetfan]

Amazing!

 

[casiopao]

Switch pleaseee. Make Ninty console wrestling heaven again.^^
