Introduction =============== "Gekitou Densetsu Noah" was released March 20th and is a management simulation game. Costs around 5800 Yen. The aim of this game is to manage your own pro wrestling club and beat all your rivals. Here is a translated description from the official site: In addition to being the representative of Pro Wrestling Noah, the player also is charge of their wrestlers' training, institution management and the goal to become Japan's top pro wrestling organisation. Players can also make themselves as a wrestler and fight with one of the other wrestlers in battle. In terms of years, there is no limit. When you fulfill a certain goal , you move on to your next one. You may also play against other players using the game link. This guide is to help anyone who wants to play the game but because of the language barrier needs help with the menus. At the moment, I have no intention of writing a full walkthrough for the game but I hope the partial walkthrough will get you started and the translations help. 2.

Using the up or down arrow will but in a match will select nothing or put in a match. Pressing A will allow you to select the place. Under the place name, it will show you how many people it can hold. You'll have the choice of... City Meeting Hall Prefecture Gymnasium Fighting Arena Japan Battle Hall N-Dome Once you've selected the place the matches take place in, the manager will tell you how much it costs to rent the place. Then she'll ask you to confirm your choice, Yes / No. Now you can arrange the type of matches and which wrestlers are playing. You have a total of 5 matches. First, select the match you want and you will be presented with... Match type - Single or Tag Match. By default, it's Single. Time - 30 Minute or 60 Minute Match. By default, it's 30.

Maintenance Fee Entry Fee Then you'll be asked to confirm it, Yes / No. After arranging any matches, you'll be asked to set the operation fees for your fan club followed by confirming your choice. 8. Viewing Matches ================== If you arranged any matches, the matches will take place in the weeks you set after you choose "Next Week". When they occur, you will have the option to watch the matches take place, Yes / No. Choosing "No" means that you'll see the match results right away and return to your office. If you do choose to watch a match, you will be allowed to choose which match you want to view. After you select the match you want to watch, you will be asked if you want to want to give directions to one of the wrestlers or not. The final question will ask you to confirm that you have everything set and begin the match, Yes / No. During the match you can press Start to pause the game. This will allow you to return to the match or view the match results. If you chose to give directions, you can press A during the match and a grey box will appear with a set of commands. Unfortunately, the commands are all different depending on which wrestlers you're using. The last command is always "No instructions" though. 9. Monthly Cycle ================ After every month (4 weeks) you'll have a end of month report with the following information: No. of Matches No. of Audience Income from matches Sponsors Other Organisation Management Fees Advertising Fee Institution Fee Personnel Fee Institution Maintenance Fees Other End of Month Income End of Month Expenditure Total Funds You will also be able to schedule matches for the next 4 weeks. After each year though, you will also get the chance to renew any contracts that have expired. The monthly amount of money your sponsor pays you will also be recalculated and shown to you. 10. Walkthrough (Partial) ======================== After you end your first week, there will be the appearance of two more establishments like your own. You will be competing against Hishou and Ring Owa. Your manager will say that it feels like we've have a bit of a late start. For now, we should concentrate on beating Hishou who is on similar grounds to us in terms of popularity. In July, Hishou will ask you to a duel to decide who's the best organisation out of you two. At the start of the following month, you will arrange matches as usual. However, you'll notice you have a match against Hishou. You can arrange all the matches for the weeks as usual with your manager if you like but, she will not arrange the week when you're up against Hishou. You'll have to arrange the players yourself. Do this the same way you would when arranging the usual matches. Don't worry about losing the match because you won't lose the game. After all, this game is time unlimited (or until you're out of money and wrestlers). You just wait for your next chance to beat them the following year. Once you've defeated Hishou, you will have a third option when arranging matches. You'll be able to have matches against Hishou too but you'll have to pay them to do so. As usual, after selecting the organisation you want to play against your manager will ask if you're sure, Yes/No. If you choose to let the manager arrange matches from now on, she usually arranges one of these matches in the 4th week. Apart from being able to organise matches with Hishou, they will also challenge you from time to time and you'll be asked if you want to accept it. Of course, just like how you have to pay them, they also pay you to fight them. Now that Hishou's been defeated, your next opponent Owa will challenge you in the last week of October. The same things that happened with Hishou will happen with Owa. After defeating Owa, they will challenge you to a match again later. You can choose to accept or refuse it. Accepting it will also give you the option to go for the YWA Jr. Heavy Title. As your wrestling mask changes to indicate the level you're at, it will eventually get to the third stage. Your manager will then explain how this is proof of your hard work in the wrestling world and then the credits will start rolling. You will have the option to save the game once the credits are done and you can play on. 11.
