Original

Overview

Super Fire Pro Wrestling III Final Bout is the third Super Famicom game (of eight) from Human Entertainment's Fire Pro Wrestling series. The action is once again presented in an isometric ring, and players must use timing-based button presses to effectively grapple and pin their opponents. The player can choose from a number of wrestlers, many of whom are from international circuits like the WWE and WCW, who are all homages to actual wrestlers under different names. The player could also make their own wrestler in the game's "create-a-wrestler" editor mode, a series staple.

Super Fire Pro Wrestling III Final Bout was closely followed by a rerelease, Super Fire Pro Wrestling III EasyType, which simplified the controls and made the timing parts less stringent. It was released a mere five weeks after the original game. Though it lacks the editor mode, all hidden wrestlers are unlocked from the offset.

Notably, Super Fire Pro Wrestling III Final Bout is the first Fire Pro Wrestling game Goichi "Suda51" Suda worked on. He would go on to pen the controversial story in 1994's Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special. He named one of the wrestlers Morio Smith as he was a fan of the UK band The Smiths (Morrissey was the lead singer).
