Victorious Boxers: Revolution video interview
The last time we heard about Hajime No Ippo: The Fighting Revolution, we discovered that it’ll be punching its way to North American shores by the end of September. Now, we get a sneak peek of the game’s translated version, Victorious Boxers: Revolution, through this video interview – and so far things are looking pretty good indeed for our stalwart Ippo and the mucsclebound opponents he’ll be facing off with in the squared circle.
In this video interview, we get the backgrounder of the game’s storyline from Jimmy Soga, Assistant Marketing Manager of XSEED Games, as well as a few handy tips on just how we’ll have to move in order for the Wii to properly detect our punches, hooks and uppercuts.
If you’ve worked out with Wii Sports‘ boxing section, you’ll be glad to know that it’s pretty much the same, although when it comes to uppercuts and hooks, you’ll have to do some elbow work besides the usual punching and jabbing.
What’s remarkable about this game, however, is how the dubbed English voices sound like – and so far, they carry over the intensity of the commentators in the original anime. No flat, wooden performances here – the emotion is there, the urgency is there, and with the game’s visuals staying faithful to the original material, it’s an immersive experience.
No more spoilers from us, enjoy the video!
