Fake Boxing, Real Boxers

Mike Fahey — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 08:20:39 MDT

Victorious Boxers: Revolution is coming out for the Wii next week, and the XSEED folks took a copy of the game down to the 3rd Street Gym in San Francisco to see what real boxers think about the anime-flavored pugilist simulation. Apparently it does something to your muscle twitch fibers, whatever those are, and judging by the boxer's general demeanor when he says this, that's a good thing. I'm still on the fence on this one. On one hand, Wii boxing was one of my favorite minigames in Wii Sports. On the other hand, I'm still disappointed that this isn't a game about triumphant underwear.

My game purchases this week will be woefully small as not only am I staying with a friend in NYC who is a non-gamer and therefore has no consoles, but I am leaving on Wed. for LA to go to E for All. But one thing I will definitely be picking up is Beautiful Katamari just so I can hold it in my hand and wish I could play it. What's on your must have purchase list this week?

Victorious Boxing Sorta Dated

XSeed's Wii boxing game Hajime no Ippo, aka Victorious Boxers: Revolution, is set for a release this "autumn" here in North America, Cubed3 reports. The game will have 25 playable characters, cut scenes and a story mode... all wrapped around a chewy center of Wii boxing. Hopefully, a touched up form of the one in Wii Sports that allows my son to inexplicably kick my ass every time we play.
