What’s Your Fire Pro Story, chango?
I think I might be the only person who got in to Fire Pro because of the graphics..... I've been a follower of Japanese wrestling for years mainly NJPW as it was on Eurosport (I think it was late 90s early 2000s based on when people debuted) and whenever looking up wrestlers I'd come across images of Fire Pro.... And loved the look of the characters.( I still think That FPR is the best looking wrestling game there is.) After looking into them bit and realising what it was..... I joined Fire Pro Club,even though I didn't have the game...I didn't say anything to anyone for years.... and only started 'speaking' when we were all coming up with ideas for the Hoax! I didn't actually have the game when I first joined and wasn't sure/ couldn't work out how to get an import due to the whole PAL/NTSC gubbins . So when the PAL release of Returns was (finally) announced I was straight in there, even though it cost me 60 quid and I had to have it imported from Italy....... But I'd been after it /looking at it/ pining for it for years and when I finally got it was everything I wanted it to be. I couldn't wait ..... And I played as Toru Yano straight away.
