I'd love to play this game I'm just afraid I don't have the time make it as great as everyone always says it is

Absolutely, for the PC at least.

I'm sure it will be for the PS4 as well, they just haven't detailed/confirmed how that will all work yet for that console.

Even if the settings aren't, they're pretty simple to set up.

I sure hope it's not digital download only. If it is, I'll just stop buy Gamestop and get a PSN gift card and buy it from the PSN store. I never buy digital downloads but I'm desperate on this one.

From what the Fire Pro Twitter account says, it appears it will be a physical release after the PC version is first tested.

I would be very surprised if this game got a physical copy. From what the director said, it's a miracle this game even got the greenlight to be made, and the only reason it did is because SpikeChunsoft has had success with their Danganronpa series. There are some that think because some of SC's smaller titles got physical copies, so will Fire Pro, but I think Fire Pro is an exception. It's a niche of a niche game that will hopefully be fully welcomed by the Steam community and be bigger than it ever has before.

I first played the last game (Fire Pro Returns) back in 2007 when it was released in the US. I still play it today. It's aged wonderfully, because it was designed in a way that doesn't make it seem as outdated as the 3D wrestling games are.

SpikeChunsoft held a press conference in Japanese to talk more about their upcoming Fire Pro Wrestling World game and while the translations so far are a little light, there’s enough new information to really make my mouth water.

– The developers were talking about how they pitched a new Fire Pro game 7 times and were turned down each time.
– The team makes very clear they had nothing to do with the awful XBox 360 game.
– None of the defaults are based on real wrestlers.
– All moves can be renamed.
– Not sure on the final amount of new moves, but close to 100.
– MP3s for entrance music.
– Blood stays on the mat.
– At least 8 people in the ring at once.
– There’s going to be another conference June 21st.

Also worth noting that, when they were asked about a release for the Early Access, they said they weren't sure, but likely before "summer vacation," which apparently is around the 3rd week in July in Japan.

So if early access is in July than the PS4 date should be in the fall, maybe around the same time WWE 2k18 comes out. 10 years ago Smackdown VS Raw 2008 was released around the same time Fire Pro Returns came to the US.
