Now, with a copy of the game on the much more transfer friendly PS3 console, I figured I might have a chance at dabbling in the community of Fire Pro edits.Īnd indeed I have. However, lacking the proper equipment for transferring files between a PC and my PS2 and generally being distracted with other things, I let the wide world of Fire Pro edit packs pass me by.įortunately during my correspondence with the Karl Stern show, another listener clued me in that Fire Pro Wrestling Returns had been re-released as a downloadable PS2 Classic game for the PS3. I bought Fire Pro Wrestling Returns for my PS2 in 2009 (the game was released in the US in 2007), and during the four years I’ve owned it I’ve known that there’s a thriving online scene of modders and enthusiasts cranking out all manner of rosters, both fictional and real-world, using the game’s deep customizable features.
At the time, my only experience with the game had been using its sizeable out-of-the-box roster of 2000s-era puroresu stars, with some gaijins, legends, and other assorted weirdos thrown in. Since this article still gets a decent amount of hits, I’ve posted an updated method of conversion here.ĪWHILE BACK I posted a letter I’d written to Karl Stern’s Classic Wrestling Audio Show about the PS2 video game Fire Pro Wrestling Returns. For your perfect world scenario, the only thing missing in World is the manager mode for which a vastly superior version is coming soon.**NOTE** The online converter for changing PS2 Fire Pro save files to PS3 format mentioned below is sadly no longer with us. Returns was good for its time, but it's on the back seat now.
Or worse, going through a bunch of hoops to get a limited number of wrestlers on your PS2 memory card. The workshop makes Return's default roster a moot point as well, since you can download anyone (including the Returns roster) in a few minutes no more searching for edits online from various locations, putting them on to a usb and porting them over to your PS3. One Night Event was a decent substitute, but can't really compare with the fact that every match in World has a rating so you can literally create your own version of the mode by just averaging the ratings for the same effect. Match Maker Mode was useless, since it was the default roster only. Not only is it Returns Plus with all the bugs resolved, it adds a huge list of new features and mechanics that should keep players happy for a long time that's before considering any DLC.
