Notes: Fire Pro Wresting World is a wrestling game, and doesn’t seem too different from the WWE games that I played as a youth (probably far back enough that they were still WWF). What makes this a unique entry in the Māori Video Games Database is that this is the first instance of a real, living person being included in a fighting game. The New Japan Pro-Wrestling 2018 Wrestler Pack is a DLC package which allows you to play as Toa Henare, who identifies as Māori, Cook Island, and Native American on his Twitter account. I wonder how he feels about the application of Tā Moko on his character.
