New interview with Suda 51 gives me a bit more hope of seeing Fire Pro (and Hotline Miami because of the trailer) on Switch:

What are the chances that Travis enters the world of Fire Pro Wrestling?

Of course it’s possible. There’s also a high possibility that characters from the world of Fire Pro will be coming to the world of No More Heroes as well.
 
I didn't pay attention but holy shit thank the gods! That has always annoyed me, now if only we could be able to make use of all four corners which I know won't happen because of the way the game, specifically the ring is designed.

Can't wait for Travis Touchdown vs Bobby Bobby, the 8th ranked totally not Sabu impersonator assassin in the world.

I've heard from FPW games over the years, but never got around to playing them.

I'm 31 and watched wrestling until around age 15 or so, so I grew up in the awesome 90's era of wrestling. I played all of the games from NES through N64 (loved the old Gensis games, then N64 games were the best). I played some on the original PS, and then kind of tapered off as I had stopped watching wrestling, but still found the games pretty fun, especially when they included the old guys I knew.

I played through a recent XB1 Wrestling game that had a fun classic career mode with events from my childhood...2015 or 2016ish I think.


Is this hard to get into? Is this something I would like coming from the games I grew up on (mostly genesis/SNES era wrestling games). It looks pretty cool, been watching some vids, but just not sure it would be enough to pull me away from PUBG, Rocket League, Splatoon, upcoming Mario, etc...

Thanks!

Well, I'm not sure if I can help you, but I'll tell you my experience right now.

I'm not a wrestling fan and I only know some of the famous early 90s and early 2000 wrestlers, but I always had a lot of fun playing local matches with my friends since the SNES Royal Rumble to the GC Day of Reckoning.

This is my first FPW game and I'm having fun with it. Most of my play time since the release have been remaking/porting wrestlers choosed randomly from previous games, and then call some friends to play some matches. But I'm sure that I'll play it a lot more when the devs add a manager or story mode.

Almost my exact situation when it came to Fire Pro. Took me all of an hour to get in to the PS2 version and I have 100 hours on World as of now.
 
Does this game have( or any plans to) custom signature ring entrances? What about ring attire? I was looking up some entrance vids on youtube and was disappointed to see Taker come to the ring with a generic walk, no lighting, no coat, no hat.
