Giant Gram: Zen Nihon Pro Wres 2 in Nihon Budoukan (GIANT GRAM 〜全日本プロレス２ in 日本武道館〜) is a wrestling game developed by Scarab and published by Sega for the Sega Dreamcast video game console and Sega NAOMI arcade hardware.

History

It is a sequel to Zen Nihon Pro Wres Featuring Virtua, and like that game features characters from Virtua Fighter. It was only released in Japan. A year later, it would be followed up with Giant Gram 2000: Zen Nihon Pro Wres 3 Eikou no Yuushatachi in both the arcade and home markets.

This was the first NAOMI game to offer support for VMUs, therefore allowing data to be transferred to and from the Dreamcast version. A special branded VMU, HKT-7008-02, was released a couple of weeks before the home version and included the Giant Channel software bundled in. Said software could also be downloaded from the Dreamcast version, and allowed users to train a customized wrestler to use in the main game. Players could even vie for a "VM Champion" title with their custom character on the arcade machine, where the reigning top wrestler could be chosen in the character select menu and included in the attract mode. Sega Logistics Service announced it would end service on the arcade machines on March 31, 2017.
