Hey, how did they get all those American wrestlers into the game? Mine has 95% Japanese wrestlers!
The main way people get American wrestlers is by downloading game saves. Head here to browse through some of the saves that are available. FireProClub is a great place to find different edits.
What you need.How to transfer saves.
This game sucks. The graphics suck. The controls suck. Japanese wrestlers are dumb!
You suck. The graphics are awesome 2D old school graphics. The controls take a bit to get used to. Make your own wrestlers.
Yea, the controls are something to get used to. You will get your rear handed to you quite a bit in the beginning.

Dyvim Tvar suggests these packs to DL
WWF '96 pack
Rave-X Anthology(Indies, some JPN, some MMA and WWE and TNA workers)
Elwood's Chikara pack, because anybody who doesn't like Chikara doesn't like life
Rev's 1998 WWF pack
Misc. pack from Stewie G
Conversion of the IamAres pack. Probably best used as a base save than anything else.
Senator's gigantor pack of DOOOOM!

The nice thing is, I have a fully PS2-compatable PS3, which means it's incredibly easy to get game save files. I got one a while back that had most of the WWE/TNA/ROH guys and a bunch of other indy wrestlers. It rocked.

Oooh yeah.
Not sure how I feel about it being a downloadable title only. On one hand it cuts down on import time, but if my Visa don't work on a JAP PSN account... all I'm saying, Tokyo better have a 123 Fake Street.
I enjoy this game, I just wish there was more to it. Like a dynasty mode or something. Online play in FPHD is gonna beat ass.
And all the edits you can fit onto a HD instead of a memory card... oh God... the colors, all the pretty colors...
The only problem I foresee, after reading through that forum thread, is that there's no actual plans for a US release of this game. How difficult is it to import a download-only game on the 360?
As far as i'm aware, you'd be able to just create a Japanese Live account, then buy Fire Pro on there. You should then be able to access the game from your normal Live account.
Can anyone confirm that?
Does anyone have the original source for the news on Fire Pro HD? FireProClub.com is down right now.
That was the original source. Post quoted below.
Well, I don't doubt that the Fire Pro Club would be big enough in the Fire Pro community to warrant that. It basically is the Fire Pro community. It'd be like a game developer making a game about wangs and asking the Penny Arcade forum.
Also from Gaf:
Fire Pro HD, huh? I was totally thrilled about hearing this and then someone in here brought up April 1st. I am scared and already pissed. Heh. We will see what happens.
As for the current Fire Pro graphics, there is nothing wrong with them. You are just a whore. :P

I even think I PMed you, Redfield, about your custom characters and getting a copy of them but I'm not sure if you ever read it. Would you be at all interested in being able to upload your saves instead of posting formulas? I'd be willing to help you out with that, send me a PM if you'd like.
As for saves, I don't have plans right this second to put any out there. Last night I was playing with the idea of having weekly, bi-weekly, monthly PPVs. Two years ago when I worked in Florida and stayed at my sister's place, I kept a notebook with my own PPV results and PPV names and even PPV songs (you know, how WWE has a song for each PPV...like that). I was thinking of continuing where I left off and making a nice little YouTube video or two (depending on how long the PPV is). I even worked on this (yes, I know the background moves, I have to fix that):
I figured I would maybe even have a season of sorts. Then follow it up with playoffs and a championship. I dunno.
If you want to use my edits in your e-fed, I am not stopping you. But I don't think I will be releasing my own save pack just yet. If you want to use my edits in a pack of your own, be my guest. Just let me know so I can tell people through my blog that my edits are in a save pack (the only save pack they will be getting with my edits so far...that I know of).

XBLA/PSN get Fire Pro HD.
Wii Gets more or less a compiliation of all the early games, including a redone game with help from Suda.
Pretty neat.
Yes, but is this coming out anywhere besides Japan?

Firepro HD has a full english translation, and its easy enough to get stuff from overseas on PSN. I can't remember how easy it is to do on a 360, but I don't remember it being exactly impossible...
I'm definately hoping something comes out on a current-gen console, because otherwise I might just have to hook up my PS2 again after all these years.
I admit to being a graphics whore, but damn the animations of those sprites is really freaking good.
In any case, it'd be nice to get some of these released stateside, because importing is such a pain.

That's cool, I'll eagerly await your release. :-)
I have the usb thing that comes with action replay, but I need to download the disc because mine got scratched to hell.
I don't have an estimate of when I will release my first save pack, so don't hold your breath on it. Haha. I mean, if you want to create my guys and put them all in a save, sure go ahead. When I release my packs (if I ever get to it), I want to make sure all the edits have the logic that I prefer for them and the movesets I prefer. Obviously people can change that once they dl the saves, but I want to try and make my edits playable from the get go.

But this guy "Kactus Ken" made a shot for shot remake of the ECW on TNN opening. I don't fucking have the video anymore but I wish I did.

Is that actually some kinda second story thing? And also, is that an actual match you can do in the game?
Holy shit.
My old website from 2000 is still up with most of my old ones.

I really hope this FPHD stuff is true. I also really hope they release this outside of Japan. I don't feel like doing the whole "create a Japanese account" thing. Although I probably will if there is no news on an American release.
edit: Hey, Mugenmidget, do you have a link to your e-fed or jushin.tv?

Our small group of friends usually gets on at about 4 PM CST on Sundays.
Here's Billy and Steve (of "King of Kong" fame) double-teaming Donkey Kong:

Are you going to be streaming anything? We tried having color commentary once with Vent (which meant that everyone using Vent's response was delayed while only the people at my house were "live"). I learned pretty quickly that I'm not cut out for color commentary! But I'd like to see your take on it.
But basically the people at the small community this is run for will submit their own CAWs and create "cards" that they want to see. Then they make wagers with their funny money which they can turn around and spend in different ways on the forum (or just top the leaderboard with a big hoard of cash).
So you do that every Sunday? And 4pm there is 5pm est, right? I'll put a link to it in the OP if you want. We will have our very own PA Fire Pro Show. Haha.
