Victorious Boxers: Revolution announced for Wii



No sooner had we announced that 10Tcle Games was breathing new life into the Ready 2 Rumble Boxing series on Wii, that another new boxing game based on the punch-heavy sport has been announced for the console. This time it’s XSEED Games, whose Victorious Boxers: Revolution will be making its way to the virtual ring at the end of September.

Unlike the aforementioned Ready 2 Rumble which demonstrates an arcade-y approach to the sport, Victorious Boxers: Revolution promises realistic boxing action in an anime style, with intuitive controls that make full use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. XSEED promises that you’ll be able to perform jabs, straights, uppercuts and hooks, as well as defensive manoeuvres such as ducks and sways.

The title will feature a full story mode which centres on a high school student by the name of Ippo Makunouchi, bullied by his school mates, but rising his way through the boxing ranks.

For those Wii owners with armchair junkie friends, Victorious Boxers also features the choice to opt-out from frantic Wii Remote and Nunchuck gesturing, with the option to use the Classic Controller instead.



Check out some of the game’s key features

Realistic one-on-one boxing experience, the first of its kind on the Wii
Massive Story Mode with loads of in-game cut-scenes, voiced dialogue and plenty of unlockable content including special abilities, stages and boxers, with three difficulty settings to choose from
