Fire Pro Wrestling Returns to the U.S. (For First Time)
Popular Japanese series taps out North America.
You probably haven’t heard of Fire Pro Wrestling, but that doesn’t lessen its importance. This series is to wrestling games in Japan what WWE games are here — the king of the ring. Amazingly, though, the Fire Pro Wrestling series has only made its way to North America in the form of a obscure Game Boy Advance game.
Thankfully, Agetec has announced their intent to fix this curious misstep with the release of Fire Pro Wrestling Returns for PlayStation 2. Agetec producer Mark Johnson remarked on the dilemma of bringing Fire Pro Wrestling to North America:
“We have been working for years to bring the Fire Pro series to North America. Now that we’re finally cleared to publish the game, the real work begins. We’re doing everything we can to make sure the game is translated successfully without taking away one iota from the gameplay that’s made this Fire Pro a fan favorite.”
Fire Pro Wrestling Returns will arrive for PS2s on this side of the world this holiday season.
