1. I hope its received well by fans and sells well, so it will entice and inspire other companies to actually take advantage of the motion controls. Also maybe wake Nintendo up to make a Punch Out game.

2. I enjoyed the anime, so I would see it as a positive, but I think it might hurt the game overall because few people are familiar with the story.

3. I think it best appeals to anime fans, since its cell shaded and anime based. If it was more realistic boxers or had a couple actual boxers in it, it could get boxing fans into a game like this. Especially because they could use real boxers to advertise the game.

1] I was expecting Fight Night to be first, but hey xseed is going to beat them to the punch (pardon the pun), hopefully they've tweaked the controls cause when I played the japanese version, it felt very sluggish and unresponsive.

2] The license isn't really the selling point for me, I just want a deeper boxing experience, wii boxing was a nice taste, but someone needs to take it to the next level.

3] I'd say it appeals to anime fans more, since boxing fans would want to play with the famous names of boxing...they don't want to be use a bear in the ring (there was a bear in previous ippo games...not sure if the bear makes an appeance in this one)

1. I think it's a decent release for a first boxing game. It seems a bit over the top, which I think would make the game more enjoyable than a realistic boxing game.

2. I might not be as inclined to purchase it because I'm not familiar with the anime, but if I heard the gameplay was really good I'd give it a shot.

3. Probably anime fans, real boxing fans would probably want a more realistic boxing game. Fans of the anime will love it though. I'm not really a fan of either, but I would be interested in trying it because of the unique style.

1. I am hoping that this game will be fun. I've played a little bit of the previous games in this franchise and I enjoyed them. Hopefully the controls in this game will be better than Boxing in Wii Sports

2. I've never watched the anime, but I've played previous games in this franchise so I would be more inclined to buy this

3. This game will probably appeal more to anime fans. Alot of people I know will not play a game if the characters in it are anime looking. I myself do not watch much anime, but I like the anime look in video games

1. I think it's great, as I'm a big fan of the previous Victorious Boxers games.

2. Makes no difference, as I've never seen/read the anime/manga.

3. Both. Assuming the boxing engine is even half as good as the previous games, then it could theoretically be recommended on gameplay alone. Anime fans would also like it.

1. I think it will be an excellent game that sells well. It will be underrated at first but I think it will build momentum as comsumers buy it. I am thrilled by the motion sensor feature with boxing as well.

2. I haven't gotten into anime that much(outside of Bleach) so it would be an impartial descision on my part. It wouldn't increase or diminish my chances of buying the game.

3. A mixture of both. Anime fans would want something similar to the award winner. Boxing fans would want to see how it would stack up to the likes of Fight Night.

1. I think it's awesome, Nintendo touched a bit with this with Wii Boxing, but it wasn 't enough. This seems great and Wii boxing was addicting but got boring due to it limitivity. This seems like a cool boxing game. Using the controller will allow the player to be "more" into the game as the Wii was intended to be.

2. If I was a fan, as any fanboy would do I would immeadiately buy it. If not, I might have to ge my feet wet.

3.It's art style will appeal to anime fans wheras the controls and such will appeal to the gamer

1. I'm just glad that someone is finally doing this. The Wii NEEDS 1:1 motion sensing (your arm swings...the characters arm on screen swings exactly the same way, at the same time). It's 1:1 motion controls that will truly make the Wii a revolutionary console...none of this sloppy add-on waggle that is ultimately no different than hitting a button.

2. It might spark some more interest if I had actually seen or heard of the series, but typically Anime licensed games aren't exactly good, so it might not be a very good selling point for the hardcore gamers out there.

3. If it has a little bit of both in the game, then it will appeal to both. Since the game apparently has a massive story mode, it might appeal to the Anime fans a little more. Boxing fans usually want realistic graphics, boxers, etc. In general it should appeal to Wii owners that just want something a little less broken than Wii Sports Boxing. Either way, I hope they're able to pull it off so other developers take notice.

1. Being the first might mean a few mistakes, so i'll definately be weary about it at first. After hearing what some main magazines (Mainly EGM) have to say about it might sway my opinion a bit though.

2. Knowing it's based off of something could have some good or bad effects on this game. Looking at something like Superman, or some of the Spiderman games, it shows that a company might mess up the game worrying about certain aspects of what they're trying to produce. There are a lot of exceptions to this though, like Spiderman 2, or even the Dragonball Z Budokai series.

3. As long as it sticks true to the manga, than i'm sure Anime fans will love i. If it's a great boxing game, i'm sure boxing fans worldwide will love it too. I know my dad liked Wii Sports Boxing, so it shows that some people don't need a realistric or know who the boxers are to have fun with it.

1. I think that it is pretty neat. I'm sure many people have anticiapted for a boxing game since the Wii was mentioned. I thought EA would be the first to make a boxing game since their Fight Night games were received well by gamers. This might be a good boxing game if the controls are what fans of boxing are hoping it to be.

2. Most definetly. If I was a fan of the anime/manga, I would have a lot of interest in it. Since I am into boxing, I will keep my eye on this game.

3. I believe this game would appeal to both anime and boxing fans. If you are a fan of something, you are most likely interested in something that is simialr to it.

1. I'm surprised Fight Night wasn't first. But I think this game will use the controls effectively and show other developers how to use the Wii controls.

2. I'm not a fan of anime so I'm not interested in this game. The anime is not a selling point for me. If I had the chance to play the game I would play for the controls.

3. I think this game will appeal to anime fans more. I think a few boxing fans will try the game but anime fans will be the bigger draw.

1. I've heard a lot of good things about the previous entries in the series (and own the 2nd), so I'm glad to see that the first boxing game on the Wii (Wii Sports not withstanding) is coming from a quality boxing game franchise. I hope this game sells well on the basis of having well developed motion controls, in addition to being a quality game, to encourage more innovation and exclusives for the Wii.

2. The fact that the game is based on an anime does not affect my decision in the least. While I do watch anime, I see the game and the anime as separate entities that do not directly affect the quality of one another.

3. I feel that this game could appeal towards boxing fans and anime fans alike. One of my friends, who hates anime and enjoys playing Fight Night Round 3 on the Xbox 360, says that Victorious Boxers series is more technically realistic than the Fight Night series, which is more arcade-like. If this game was developed for the 360 (keeping the graphical style, but in HD), this game would be one of the few he'd be willing to purchase near release. As for fans of this anime, they'd enjoy being able to interact with characters from the series and feel like they're participating in the story. As for myself, I fall into the general gamer stance, whose main draw would be the motion controls to create a unique experience.

1) I'm really excited to try this out. Wii Boxing was a nice teaser to the possibilities, and I'd love for this to work out.

2) The anime style looks really cool.. With the Wii's graphic capabilities, I feel this style would better emphasize the "fun" factor rather than trying to make it realistic like Fight Night on the 360/ps3.

3) Mainly anime fans and kids.. I think the people who like hardcore boxing want something that looks more realistic and possibly more brutal.

1. I'm excited to see a boxing game on the Wii. We need more innovative games for the Wii.
2. I'm not familiar with the anime, but if the gameplay is good, I'll purchase it since I like boxing.
3. I'd say both as long as the controls make it feel like you're boxing. Mostly to the anime fans though since it has a unique graphic style.

1. I appreciate it very much that such an idea is being considered seriously for this kind of game. Granted, 1:1 with the Wii remote means some adjustment by the player, but even the sense of boxing with your "own two hands" gives the game more authenticity, I guess.

2. I would not consider buying this game if it sucked pretty bad in gameplay, on which the Wii is built on to succeed. Personally, I am a fan of Hajime no Ippo, but just like the Dragon Ball Z and upcoming Bleach and Naruto games for the Wii, it is not the source material that would ultimately influence my purchase, but how much fun my friends and family will have with the game.

3. I think this game will appeal to folks who want a little more in their play-boxing, and titling the game under the Victorious Boxers label (as it has for the previous PS2 games) should garner those interested in the boxing part. As for the fans of Hajime no Ippo, I believe that a good number of them already know it's coming under this label and will support what is the closest thing to pulling off the Dempsey Roll without pulling every muscle in their body.

1. I think it is a no-brainer, the wii remote was made for games like this, as it lets players really feel immersed in the gameplay.
2. I have seen a couple episodes of the anime series but I don't think that alone would bring me to this title. What I want is the action-pumped fighting!
3. Being able to choose over such a large variety of characters will allow players to choose that compliment their style, something that I think will draw in both fans and people who have never even heard of the anime/mange series but are fans of boxing or even the most casual gmaer

1. I feel sick and disappointed about this being the first boxing game, it should have been something more familar like a punch out, rocky or like fight night. It's sad to see there ain't that much sports or boxing games utilizing the motion sensor that is not anime like.

2. Will not affect my purchasing decision, i haven't seen a show ever. I'd have to base my decision on gameplay and most of all price, i am a CAG after all.

3. I feel its more targeted to anime fans, since playing previous versions of this game relies heavily in storyline and characters. Not being a fan, i look for more of a game being able to use real boxers or a familair boxing movie like rocky, needs blood or at least some strategy involved instead of random button mashing that the previous versions of this game has. Still upset, it should have been punch out. They should put Mike Tyson name in the game, maybe then i'd buy it.

1. If this game has excellent controls I think it has the ability to set a standard for the rest of the genre, so I am excited to see how it turns out being the first of its kind.

2. I don't think the anime relation will affect if I purchase it or not, it looks very close to an old boxing game I used to play in the arcade and thats the reaosn I would purchase it. I've never heard of the anime/manga so it wouldn't influence me at all.

3. Maybe a bit of both, I don't think anime fans are that into sports games but the hardcore ones may enjoy this if they liked the anime, the boxing enthusiasts will give it a try because its the first boxing game outside of Wii Sports to be on the Wii, it will give them a feel on how the next Fight Night will work.

1. About time we get a boxng game not called Wii Sports.

2. I could give two shits about any anime.

3. Given that most people that own a Wii are 'casual gamers' I hardly think that an obscure anime is going to appeal to them more than the fact that finally a stand-alone boxing game is coming out for the Wii.
