  • I love this game, the anime, and the MAHN-ga... not man-ga.

  • This is one of the best manga I've ever read.

    I cant wait to play this game.

  • Sorry bad choice for Review crappy game

  • i have it

  • were can i import this game i have the ds one but this one looks cool to and i love the anime hope im not to late for a response :/

  • @slaughtermii I'm not sure these days. I got my copy from Play Asia, but they are out of stock now...... I'm guessing Ebay is your best bet now. :(

  • It is: Second Option in the main menu, then first option to start a new game, then choose your fighter (duh ;) ) then from top to bottom: difficulty (normal is standart,left is easy right is hard) rounds vs card (opponents in ascending difficulty or just random?) stage the default story mode is on easy normal or, godforbid, even hard will leave your fingers bleeding and your face enraged... but its still pretty good ;)
  • Just yesterday I started playing this in vs mode agains a friend. other than the characters being a bit imbalanced (sendou and ippo are off the freaking scale.... next in line is date and then mashiba, myata and the like and then somewhere deep deep down boils the rest) its really fun and a great challenging game.

    Also, as you can power upyour own characters you can balance the game out on your own which is great.

    Mad Props to Treasure!

  • how do i get this game

  • Comment removed

  • I started watching the anime specifically because of this video, and I finished it a few months ago, as well as watched the feature length movie and the sequel mini-series "New Challenger".

    I also beat this game, and, to be honest, it didn't seem quite as hard as you made it out to be since I only lost a couple, matches through the entire game.

    Still, very solid review, as always.

  • @Onirayushizobura

    Buddy... try tournament mode on a higher difficulty than easy.

    Have fun loosing to ippo ;)

  • Perhaps I should try that... Provided I can navigate through the menus without knowing how to read any Japanese. GameFAQS translation guide to the rescue.

  • good anime and im a big fan of punch out

  • i own this game. while i am not familiar with the anime, this is a better game than punchout, as it goes way beyond pattern recognition, which is my least favorite aspect of punchout games.

  • wade Hixton's counter punch was a fun game too

  • Great review, Ben!

  • Does anyone have a tip where I could get this game? Seems quite hard to find it anywhere on internet... (I live in Europe)

  • I watch this anime now and maybe i will read the manga.

  • awesome game and anime

  • I'm totally getting this.

  • i lone your video's man but will u ever show your game collection?

  • Awesome. I have this game and it's a really solid import title.

  • I must say, the game looks really good :D

  • Hi man, I always look forward to your reviews but you do not update very often.

    The game looks pretty good though. However I'm not really into sports so I'm not sure how much I'd be into it.

  • I make a video like every 2 weeks plus the audio podcast once a month. I don't think I could really make them any faster than that. I wish I could. :)

  • wait aminute.. you have an audio podcast? where can i find that? i'd love to listen to it.

  • Yeah I do it with Derek (aka The Happy Video Game Nerd) it's on RetrowareTV and as of now it's up to Episode #4. Working on Episode #5 right now. :)

  • oh that was you... somehow i thought that was the gaming historian guy... did you both appear in an episode?

  • Yeah Norm is on most of the episodes but the Ben and Derek show is mostly Derek and myself with some smaller appearances from the other people on RetrowareTV mixed in for fun.

  • gotcha. i thought his name was ben. i guess i just don't pay attention. actually i really enjoy the show. it's almost like you guys distille all the funny bits from just your regular conversations.

  • Great review. Looks like a pretty cool game.

  • Always wanted to know how this game was.

  • For the people who want to play the game in English and own a flashcart or emulator; there is a patch on gbatemp. You need an ISP patcher to apply the patch and I don't think all of the text is in English, but most times the majority is.

  • A great anime and it looks like a great game. Thank you for the review

  • Excellent review, this looks like a hidden gem I might just have to pick up.

  • a friend of mine has gotten me in to the anime and I have to say its great. Im not a fan of boxing and in real life I dont think I would watch it, but I like the anime since its a story about people getting better and training, its a very good story so far (still on the first series). This game does look like a lot of fun, Ive never played a punch out game (I know, and I call my self a nintendo gan) but I think I might have to check this one out. Great review.

  • Ben, do you trust me?

  • Aw man that Joseph guy totally sucks at art Boooo

  • people are going to thumbs you down because they don't know that you are Joseph. lol

  • An artist is his own worst critic. To tell you the truth, I'm actually really proud of it. Tell Norm I said thanks for the big compliment.

  • Looks pretty cool. :-)

  • Treasure is one of the best video game developers out there, and so far, my 2nd favorite video game developer out there.

    =D

  • looks good

  • Another great review, Ben

  • wow this game looks awesome. I love punch out so this is right up my ally

  • This game was pretty good. You should play Hajime no Ippo Victorious Road on ps2. Creating custom boxers in that game was fun.
