First Impressions

Welcome to my blog. The purpose of this blog is to report the progress of Wrestle Angels Survivor 2 (Tentative title) for everyone who isn't fortunate enough to understand Japanese.

I always hate first posts, so don't expect much. Anyway, here is a timeline of what we know.

7/27/2007: Wrestle Angels Survivor 2 is officially announced. The official website opens on the same day, along with a developers blog.

7/03/2007: Famitsu publishes an article on the game, revealing the first screen shots of the game, simply showing Mighty Yukino vs. Dynamite Rin and Chocho Caras vs. Toshimi Minami.

8/10/2007: SUCCESS announces a "ユーザー参加企画", or "User Participation Project". SUCCESS also announces that they've hired Alfa System to revamp the designs of the characters in the game, along with Homare Suetsugu for the designs of the gaijin (foreigner) wrestlers. They reveal new character designs for Dynamite Rin, Chocho Caras, and Daisy Cry, receiving a drastic makeover from their previous designs from WAS 1. On the same day, SUCCESS reveals phase two of their User Participation Project, giving Japanese fans the ability to vote on which gaijins from prior WA games would be included in the game.

8/22/2007: The second phase of the User Participation Project expires. SUCCESS has yet to reveal the results of the poll.
