Giant Gram - AJPW2 in Nippon Budokan (Sega Naomi Arcade Intro and Short Demo)
1Time to go down the King's Road of Puroresu....and that was no joke back in those times, that's for sure!
Giant Gram: All Japan Pro Wrestling 2 in Nippon Budokan was released in the arcades in 1999 but made it's way on the Dreamcast in June of the same year. The sequel from AJPW Featuring Virtua had some interesting aspects and features from it's time. One of them is using the Dreamcast VMU supports you can use your data from the home version to the arcades and vice versa. Along with that, Sega captured the likenesses of the All Japan wrestlers by using the face-scanning technology for their models as well as each mannerisms and movesets.
The wrestlers used in AJPW2 (bar the use of Wolf Hawkfield, Jeffry McWild and Kage from Virtua Fighter in this) are (and should be) recognizable to wrestling fans all around the world such as Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi, Toshiaki Kawada, Jun Akiyama, Hiroshi Hase and Giant Baba. However, there is Western (or Gaijin...using Japanese terms here!) wrestlers represented in this and were a part of the roster at the time like Johnny Ace, Gary Albright, Vader and Stan Hansen as most of them especially Vader and Hansen became renowned within the Japanese wrestling community!
Personal Thoughts: Giant Gram: AJPW2 can be frustrating for some especially those who are playing it for the first time due to it's directional motions. However, it can grow on you within time if you have patience. As a fan of Japanese wrestling, it was very different despite being used to the Aki Corp. and Yukes' wrestling games but was more enjoyable when I learned the moves. Also, it's a challenge as well as you learn from losses and build up on it!
Interesting Fact: Hiroshi Hase was only shown in the arcade intro but was never used in the Dreamcast version.....very odd!
'Giant Gram: AJPW 2 in Nippon Budokan' was played through the Demul emulator, recorded via Nvidia GeForce Experience and re-encoded through WonderShare UniConverter.
