@ADTgame82 Yeah, it's something we all long for. And not that Avatar nonsense they were showing off last year.

@TrueHiddenKing one more thing I forgot.. the DC version has an actual octagon cage for "gruesome fighting" mode. the PS2 game has a 12 sided cage. it's only a visual difference though. the gameplay is the same.

[XSC3]

if you get Fire Pro D you need a Dreamcast Nexus card (and serial cable); if you have Fire Pro Returns you need the Action Replay Max (with usb flash drive) for PS2. both games require these to get the most out of edits, which is like half the game.

[XSC3]

@TrueHiddenKing (Victory Road where you go through and defeat all the pre-set wrestlers, increasing difficulty in their home venues to win the belt; and the exploding cage match which was replaced by the exploding barbed wire ropes). there's also a little more violence in the DC version (red flashes when you hit barbed wire and bigger explosions from electrical hits), and the barbed wire match replaces the land mine barbed wire match. otherwise FPR is superior.

@TrueHiddenKing Fire Pro Wrestling D for the Dreamcast has a few features missing from the PS2 game. otherwise FPR is superior. I recommend both games.
