Fire Pro Wrestling (released in Japan as Fire Pro Wrestling A (???????????? A Faiya Puro Resuringu A)) is a professional wrestling video game in the Fire Pro Wrestling series and was the first Fire Pro game to receive an official English translation and the first to be released on a portable system rather than a console. A direct sequel Fire Pro Wrestling 2 was released in 2002. Fire Pro Wrestling makes the player play with strategy. The games use the A and B buttons for striking and grappling. As with Fire Pro games MMA is featured in the game and federations like Pride and the Ultimate Fighting Championship feature with fighters. The Octagon also made an appearance in this game but was removed in the second for copyright issues.
