I just saw Hajime no Ippo, and that alone blew me away
Greatest inspirational work of all time.

[DS]

Aside from being Wii-ly old in the news front(God man, where were you? =p), I'm still psyched about this game. I just have to learn how to not suck with the Wii-mote. It's probably the sexiest looking Ippo game to date. Ricardo Martinez will own your soul.

[LBt1st]

Haven't been around since NeoWave got dropped by the xbox Live community.
Saw this thinking it was news and had to hit up SRK.

I miss this place, just wish there was a fighter to play online. I hope this is. Where the fuck is NGBC?

you guys need to check wii thread more often.

I havent played wii boxing but I've heard its suposed to be similar to Hajime No Ippo (control wise). Even though I'm a fitness freak, i'm a lazy gamer. having to wave my arms about and what not doesnt appeal to me. im also not fond of the the first person view.

[tajiri]

dempsey roll.

[Rokusho]

dempsey roll.

Exactly. So long as I can do the Dempsey Roll then I'll enjoy this game. I still need to play Victorious Boxers 2. I bought the game but haven't even opened it yet.

[nothingxs]

The graphics on it look fucking sick, so far. Now all it needs to do is play fucking awesome, and I think they've sold me a Wii.

[BEWD]

The game's apparently being translated and brought over here by a company called Xseed, it's supposed to be due out in September/October. If so, I'm definitely getting a wii just for this game.

I played it, it's not very good.


Plus, no Kimura in it. :sad:

[Sexperienced.]

Victorious Boxers 2 seriously sucks.

[BEWD]

Victorious Boxers 2 seriously sucks.

I wouldn't say sucks, I mean I like the story mode and what not, but It gets fucking annoying when playing against people and all they do is fucking spam slow battle, and low uppers FTW.

[Vidness]

If I get to do flicker punches, that would be worth it right there...

[King9999]

Kimura is in VB2. Or are you talking about the Wii game?

[FallingEdge]

VB2 is a fun game. Brian Hawk ftw.

[Festival6667]

VB2 is decent, no more. The wii game looks very promising but I'm waiting to test it out before giving my verdict

[Rick Fn Stalvey]

If this game is decent I think it would make a fun tourney game.

[Milk Stone]

Kimura is in VB2. Or are you talking about the Wii game?

If he is, he's an unlockable, but I only played that game for a little bit before losing interest, anyway.


Also, Kobashi is another tight character that also doesn't get much love in the series.

Yeah, Kimura's an unlockable. Both versions of him are in the game (regular and the one with Dragon Fish Blow).

I like Aoki, personally. So much fun to use. His left is amazing.

firstly i dont like the fact that you cant use the d-pad. secondly, whats the deal with "blocking"? seriously.

I actually like the analog movement. The d-pad would definitely fuck up all your movement. And I think blocking only happens when you hit L1 upon contact. Like, you can't hold it forever.

Either way, I got used to the analog controls and enjoyed it. And I really wouldn't say that Slow Battle is broken or anything. If anything, Hayami is broken. You can spam Shotgun punches over and over again when they're in the corner(which is an even worse scenario).

My beef with the game was the hit boxes. Some stuff just won't connect, but when the CPU does it, it's an instant KO. Just fighting Jason Ozuma was a pain the ass. He always blocked high and it was just an impenetrable defense, but he WAS open to body blows.

Oh, and Ricardo was hella broken. One punch = GGPO. And so was the bear.

Oh god...don't remind me. My punkass kept getting peaced out by Oda on normal difficulty, I lost the most to him out of any other character, followed by Ozuma. After getting past those two assholes I only had two losses the rest of the entire story mode(to Jimmy Sisfa and Ricardo Martinez in the extra mode) -_-.

[Stanman]

Wow, this looks like the next gen punch out game I've been waiting for. It's too bad I don't want a Wii...

[ChairHome]

Looks like it might be coming to America after all.

Generic release date ("Autumn"), but its still stated....

[Endless]

The only reason why I get all tired out from Wii Boxing is because after I knock down my opponent, I do a pseudo-Dempsey Roll as a taunt.

Seriously! :rofl:

[Kisame]

if the other one would have never sucked I would have bought a wii just for this.

Im a hni crackhead.

[ChairHome]

Irrefutable proof that this game is coming to America (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2007/08/20/victorious-boxers-boxart-for-real-this-time/).

That new box art looks pretty cool btw.

I think everyone who has seen the series is one. Takamura is a beast!

[Shin Akuma]

So has anyone played this game yet? Thoughts?

It was released about one month ago.

I'm most likely going to buy this tomorrow.

[Kisame]

I think everyone who has seen the series is one. Takamura is a beast!

miyata ftw. If volg had more fights he would be my number 1.

[Ferdinandz]

Ippo is a fucking beast.I am getting this game.

[LBt1st]

Why isn't this game being discussed to death on SRK?

[Kisame]
