"...the niche publisher has acquired the rights to Fire Pro Wrestling Returns for the PlayStation 2, and is ready to release the game in North America later this year, or early next."
HELL YEAH. If you're sick of the WWE games and their sloppy controls, horrid collision detection, and absolute lack of balance, this is the game for you.
So, so awesome. IGN lists November 13 as a release date. I am so stoked about this one that I can hardly believe it. I have loved the Fire Pro series ever since importing X Premium for the SNES in 1995 or thereabouts. Haven't played one since Fire Pro D for the Dreamcast, and I gave up because I got tired of digging through fan translations of the menu screen. This is gonna be GREAT.
