I have a feeling we’re about to start hitting a bunch of manga based games. Might as well make one of the early rounds of that be a boxing game. My ability to think of any more boxing puns is on the down for the count so let’s be serious. Today we’re taking a look at Victorious Boxers: Ippo’s Road to Glory.
I’ve got Trevor H from Catching Up on Cinema to help guide me through this one and possibly maybe get my pronunciation a bit better.
Learn such things as:
- Why aren’t I making a tag for every playable character? Here’s a hint
- Can you have too much fan service?
- What happens when a silly licensed game has better mechanics than a simulator?
- And so much more!
You can find Trevor and Catching Up on Cinema on Twitter @CatchingCinema, Instagram @catchinguponcinema and of course at the Catching Up on Cinema website.
