Seriously, this is fucking awesome. Any word on an offical US release or will it only be Japan?
Edit: Just realized it's download only. There's really no reason not to bring it to the US. |
It's download only, so no amount of modding your 360 will play it...
HOWEVER, what will let you play it is creating a Japanese XBox Live account and then getting a Japanese MS points card or a Japanese credit card registered to a JAP address. That work around will be the only way to play it if it only comes out in Japan on both 360 and PS3 :( |
YO MIKE YOU MISSED THIS
If you guys haven't been following the thread in Victory Road, then you're probably clueless about this whole thing. Be sure to read the entire post. Read it slowly. This is all the information I have right now, and we may be getting more soon. Famitsu should be getting some media near the end of the month, but I'm not completely sure yet. Spike and GHM are being very nice to us right now. You should thank them. Here's the info on Fire Pro Wrestling 20th Anniversary Collection --------------------------- Release Date: TBA EXCLUSIVELY for the Nintendo Wii Format: Disc Region: Japan Developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and S-Neo Published by Spike Fire Pro Wrestling 20th Collection A collection of 10 classic Fire Pro Wrestling games and a new version of Blazing Tornado to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Fire Pro.

Also on the 20th collection disc: Blazing Tornado REDUX Grasshopper Manufacture and S-Neo are combining their efforts on the ‘redux’ of Blazing Tornado. The new version of Blazing Tornado is based on the original coin-op version of the game, but features new characters and scenarios created by Suda 51 and Grasshopper Manufacture. Gameplay will remain true to Masato Masuda’s original Blazing Tornado, but will be "expanded for current technology". Confirmed characters Eric Starbuck Daijiro Zama Wolf McSchneider Baron Firebird John Saigo MASK de Smith Ho Long Hayate Skull Punk II Jailbreaker Bullnoi Thunder Ryu Hizelshutat von Ludwig Known modes and match types One on one Tag team Battle Royale Death Match Blazing Road BLAZING ROAD is a story driven single player mode where players take control of a rookie and fight their way to the top of the wrestling world. There are 2 main story paths: Face and Heel. There are multiple endings within each path. Events take place both in and out of the ring. Story sequences feature voiceovers. English subtitles will be an option. The way you win matches will determine what happens in the story. In addition to regular moves and finishers, certain "cinematic finishers" can be triggered during Champion Road matches. These are optional and will alter the story. No edit mode in Blazing Tornado Redux. Also hot :D :D :D :D |

That's way too much fucking effort for a single download.

From the forum about HD:
And the game is Japanese only. No plans for an English release. We need to support them just like we always have. A lot of us have been importing these games for a decade now. We're not going to stop. Some of you guys got spoiled with Fire Pro Returns. They're giving us an ENGLISH OPTION for Hansen sake. We should run with it and give them our money. At least there's an English option by default :( |

Yeah, been reading the forum.
Really, if they went to the length of doing the US translation there has to be plans, at least internally, to release it in either Europe or the US. The fact that it's download-only must have come up, and doing the English translation just for Japan seems silly. It almost seems like they're saying "it's in English, but you can't get it. You can pirate it, though." |
Dude, I like Fire Pro and all, but fuck getting a Jap gold account and importing Jap MS points for a single game. I'll wait for a US release. They brought Fire Pro R over, so no reason for them not to bring this over this on Live. I understand with PSN because they get charged up the ass for space on their servers, but Live is free for developers.

Fucking hell, topic is too hot. Can't keep up here.

Still, I'm so happy so rep for all just for being part of my joy :D
|
However I will neg everyone to make up for it if it's announced that it's being taken over by Yukes for Legends of Wrestlemania 2D Arcade :shifty:
|
Gawwwwwd. Don't say things like that.
|
Actually, this just reminded me of the fact that 360s are region free. Any word on that wrestling series that AKI made post No Mercy coming to the 360. I'd definitely import that sumbitch.
|
I am happy for you all.

That's it. They've now been renamed Syn Sophia and were responsible for that god-awful Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Revolution on Wii :( |
No, not that one. There was a game that used the AKI engine in Japan and it had real wrestlers I think. Fignuts or Blitz should know it for sure.

On the same subject, any word on the "rebuilt" game engine? I mean, what it entails? |
Dunno, it was on PS2 and I never played it
|
YES!!! Also, PS3 is region free too, and you can easily set up a Japanese PSN account to download Japanese stuff. Granted I haven't used my credit card on it, it shouldn't be an issue as my credit card works in foreign countries.
|
Unfortunatly, after the Tekken DR fiasco (with loads of people just creating Japanese PSN accounts to get the game early, then continuing to do so as the game was about $5 cheaper in Japan), Sony require the billing address to be in Japan to download Japanese stuff.
Can you get currency cards for PSN? |
Eh, worst case scenario, I know peeps in Japan.
|
Fucking Japs. :mad:
You can blindfold those people with fucking dental floss. |
When this comes to America and the visuals look tight enough, we'll have a winner.
All that bad stuff I said about the series being 2D will go out the window with an online-enabled edit-whore of a game like this coming around. Seems like a packed download only game. |
I only skimmed through this whole thing...
Landmines? Exploding cage? Edit ref? Match maker? Sure, why not? Whats SWA though? |
Quote:
Amazing game, but it doesn't compare to Firepro R, or KOC II. |
Also, I am verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy skeptical about this.
Especially given the time of year. |
I'm not too concerned. It's been ages since the last fire pro came out, and next gen systems have been out a bit too. I don't see why they'd dramatically change the engine, especially since they want to keep their main base happy, as that's where it's going to sell.
|
I mean seriously, a new fire pro game announced shortly before april 1st, that just HAPPENS to have a ton of stuff people on the fpc boards have wanted for years?
Nah. Not buying it just yet. |
Honestly, my biggest suspicion is the English translation coupled with it being Download-only in Japan.
If it's true, awesome, but yeah, this could easily be a fake. |
I trust SonnyBone.
|
Dunno, could def see sonnybone pulling this shit as a prank
