Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2 freem Edition

What it is

Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2 freem Edition is a long-running hack of AKI's Japan-only N64 wrestling game by freem, with preview builds going back to January 2019 and the current release dated June 15, 2024. It works as a kind of "best of" the AKI wrestling games. Because every change is made in the ROM itself, the result runs on real hardware as well as in emulators.

What's changed

• Most of the game translated from Japanese into English
• Many default wrestlers replaced by wrestlers from other AKI games, plus a few who never appeared in one
• Everything unlocked from the start
• More points to spend on offensive and defensive parameters in Edit Mode
• Many graphical changes

The creator has said that work on the hack is suspended for now, so the 2024 build may stay the latest for a while.

Playing it

The project page offers the patch and a detailed manual that explains how to apply it to your own copy of Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2. Please don't buy reproduction carts of it: the creator asks people not to. Made by freem.
