Depending on how worn down a foe is and how big the move is, it might wind up being countered. Everything relies on your timing being just right for a grapple - generally right after contact is made - and the person with the best timing gets the move started.
The game offers up just about every major match type outside of a topped cell or anything involving ladders and allows for regular matches, K1-style striking wars, MMA fights, steel cage matches and a variety of exploding ring death matches.Įach of these styles is completely different and yet works wonderfully thanks to Fire Pro’s timing-based gameplay mechanics. It’s a difficult balancing act because whether you’re playing a game or watching a movie, there is a sense of unbelivability to what’s going on - but it’s up to the creators to get you invested in what’s happening and that’s very easy to do in Fire Pro World. The Fire Pro engine was essentially rebuilt from the ground up for this game, but manages to retain the same feel as prior entries in the series.įire Pro has always been about replicating the sports aspect of pro wrestling and much like what Aki’s games did for 3D was treat the games as a playable version of pro wrestling if it was real. The best thing about this is now fans who have seen all of these incredible matches week after week on NJPW World can now replicate some of them in Fire Pro Wrestling World. New Japan has merchandise available in every Hot Topic store, a nationally broadcast TV show on AXS TV and now a starring role in the latest and greatest entry in the longest-running wrestling game series of all-time. With the rise of NJPW over the past five years, Spike Chunsoft couldn’t have picked a stronger company to align Fire Pro Wrestling World with. Fire Pro Wrestling World is the first New Japan Pro Wrestling-licensed video game outside of a mobile app since Wrestle Kingdom 2 on the PS2 - and it’s a must-play game for any pro wrestling fan in general. The same held true for pro wrestling as a whole, with Japan’s major and minor leagues getting unofficial representation for years with one female licensed exception. Long before mixed martial arts was big enough across the world for the UFC to get its own games, the Fire Pro series featured an MMA cage and a roster of fighters heavily-inspired by the greatest acts of the day. The Fire Pro Wrestling series has delivered some of gaming’s greatest in-ring action ever - and been a trailblazing series for both pro wrestling and MMA.
