As with any art form, video games have had their fair share of controversial endings. Half-Life 2: Episode Two killed off a beloved character before the franchise went dark for almost 13 years. Halo 2 famously didnt let you finish the fight despite that being Master Chiefs raison dtre. Nothing compares, however, to the Suda51-written climax of and subsequent response to a Super Famicom game known as Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special, and its finally playable in English thanks to a fan translation.[Ed. note: This article contains references to suicide.]The patch, which translates just the single-player story mode and removes all other content from the game, is available on ROMhacking.net and must be applied to the original Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special release, not its revision. It should also work on actual Super Famicom consoles.Goichi Suda51 Suda may be known today as the video game industrys closest equivalent to a punk rock front man, but in 1994, he was a rookie at Human Entertainment, which would go on to develop survival horror classic Clock Tower a year later. Suda was fresh off his first writing gig, Super Fire Pro Wrestling III: Final Bout, when he was given the reins to Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special, specifically the single-player Champion Road storyline.Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special follows Smith Morio named after British rock band The Smiths and their lead singer, Morrissey as he progresses from pro wrestling hopeful to superstar and eventually champion. The game was originally envisioned as having multiple endings, but late in development, Suda instead decided to take agency away from the player and settle on just one ending in which Morio, distraught over having given up everything for success, dies by suicide. Human Entertainment apparently received a ton of hate mail over this ending following the games release.It was really kind of a big deal at the time, Suda told GameSpot in 2019. Once we put [Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special] out, we started getting these huge, cardboard boxes filled with postcards, and almost none of them were nice, fuzzy, happy messages. Most of them were saying stuff like, What the hell did you do with that ending? Whats wrong with you? Fuck you. Die. People were really upset with what we did and it really blew up. It was a huge deal for myself and the company for awhile afterward.Suda left Human in 1998 to found Grasshopper Manufacture, but was invited to write a sequel to Champion Road featuring Morios son for Fire Pro Wrestling World in 2020 by Spike Chunsoft, the current owners of the Fire Pro brand, based on the original storys notoriety.
