Couple all of that with an explorable open world (which still retains the look and feel of Punch-Out, somehow) and Pato Box is certainly a unique game for the ages. Enter Pato Box, a clear homage to Nintendo’s previous work, only with more duck heads, shadowy organisations and an extremely eye-catching graphical style. That line about Punch-Out’s legacy wasn’t a joke. Platform(s): PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Vita Honestly, with boxing games returning and anime adaptations becoming bigger business, perhaps the time is right for a new Ippo. This won’t be the first mention for Punch-Out or its legacy either. The story mode feels like Punch-Out, with each new boxer coming equipped with new abilities that require different gameplans.

Hajime No Ippo: The Fighting Hajime No IppoĬonsidering this game never saw a release outside of Japan, we can’t exactly put this game higher up the list, but Hajime No Ippo: The Fighting is still worth mentioning.ĭespite over a dozen licensed Hajime No Ippo games, only three have ever seen a release outside of Japan, with the most recent one being the Nintendo Wii’s Hajime No Ippo: Revolution in 2007, but 2014’s The Fighting for PS3 might just be the best that the franchise has to offer.Īs you’d expect from your typical anime/manga adaptation, Hajime No Ippo: The Fighting chronicles the big fights from some of the most important story arcs in the franchise, along with a Best Match mode that allows you to change the canon outcome of fights to experience new content. With that in mind, we’ve ranked the 10 best boxing games, no judges’ decision needed. However, thanks to new releases, the future looks to be a lot brighter when it comes to the squared circle and video games. Whether it’s due to the cost of licensing boxers across multiple federations, or the ongoing rise of MMA over boxing, games based on the sweet science have been dry for a while.
Despite that, we can still celebrate the best boxing games ever made. Both versions of boxing games have their merits and downfalls, but it feels like both have fallen out of favour in recent years. Whether they were straight-laced simulators with black eyes and brutal KOs, or arcadey zaniness that trades pugilism for power-ups and silly bollocks. For a time, it felt like boxing games were one of the best and most lucrative games out there, deftly weaving together fighting games and sports.
