Play Hajime no Ippo : The Fighting! Online
Dodge jabs, time your counters, and work your way up from rookie to champ—those anime-style special moves feel even better when you earn them. Watch your stamina though, or you’ll eat a hook that sends you reeling.
Game Overview
If you've ever watched Hajime no Ippo and thought, "Man, I wish I could throw a Dempsey Roll," this GBA game is your shot. It nails that arcade boxing feel—simple controls, but you can't just mash buttons unless you want to eat a counter hook. The first time you land a clean liver blow and see your opponent crumple? Pure satisfaction.
What surprised me was how much it actually feels like the anime. You start as a scrawny rookie, barely holding your own, but after a few fights, you're bobbing, weaving, and timing uppercuts like Ippo himself. The spirit gauge is a nice touch—build it up, and suddenly you're unleashing those iconic special moves. Just don't get cocky; one missed dodge and you're staring at the ceiling.
It's not super deep, but for a portable boxing game? Still holds up. You can practically hear the crowd chanting during the final round.
