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.

At least they still have HAZE out soon. I suspect a early march release in UK
UBIsoft is all about Conviction.
Haze is a cheap spinoff of any FPS game.
I can't believe PS3 fans want Haze still. LOL.
Yeah 'cause most FPS's thrive to create a story driven game that affects your game play and other mode's right?
Tell me what makes a good story driven FPS , and then tell me that HAZE hasn't got it , cause you'll smell like bullshit even thinking about it.
They need to advertise Haze alot more. I lost all my hype and completely forgot about that game.
Your comment there was the stupidist i've ever heard.
HAZE looks great, and have had it on preorder since September.
And yes all FPS, use nector, have 2 parts to the story with different gameplay in each part.
Double-Edged i just suspect your bitter about Free Rad dropping the 360 version.
@ Greek99 - I suspect they will hype the game up again, however with no set release date for now, theres little point. Saying that in December issue of OPMuk they had a 2 page ad
have you seen haze in gameplay?
it's horrible.
please... taking off my fanboy glasses... Haze looks terrible.
Ubisoft is working on so many projects and so few of them are worth buying. Its a shame...
Yeah i was really looking forward to Haze but its not worth it anymore as every time we get let down with delays.
I must admit that I was quite excited when XSeed Games announced that they were developing the newest installment of their "Victorious Boxers" series. I had previously played their last PS2 entry and though it's not your traditional boxing game, the body language and fighting styles of the boxers really intrigued me. As a boxing writer, I've always appreciated realism in the way the characters move and react to punches and after seeing the previous iterations of Victorious Boxers, I decided to give the Wii version a spin.
