New Images from Hajime no Ippo at Famitsu.com

There are not enough arcade style anime boxing games available on the market, so fortunately AQ Interactive is bringing Hajime no Ippo Revolution to the Nintendo Wii in June. Using the Wii's motion sensing, player's will use the Wii mote to throw punches, duck, stick, and move.

It's about time a game has finally truly let us live out our Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield fantasies (albeit with 100% less ear biting... unless you are playing against another player that is).

Overall the game resembles the Konami MoCap Boxing series from the Arcades. Though there isn't the huge contraption mimicking your every movement, the Nintendo Wii definitely seems to be capable of providing a solid experience with its simple set of motion sensing mechanics. Famitsu.com today posted a few new screen shots from the game which provide a good look at its sketched visual style.


The game is currently available for pre-order at Play-Asia.
