Victorious Boxers: Revolution, known as Hajime no Ippo: Revolution in Japan and Victorious Boxers: Challenge in PAL Regions, is a Japanese-developed boxing video game developed by AQ Interactive for the Wii. The game is based on the manga and anime series, Hajime no Ippo. Players are able to use the Wii controller to mimic boxing moves and knock out the opponent. Defensive moves ducking and swaying are also available. In between rounds, the game displays the number of punches that have landed. Unlike the previous Victorious Boxers games, Revolutions features a head ups display for the time and damage. The player is able to control the characters' upper body movement as well as the lower body movement. The second is a point and click method which involves the player using the remote to draw patterns in the air while holding down the "A" button. The game's main protagonist is Ippo Makunouchi and features a total of 25 playable characters, many with special moves that their character in the manga series utilized in fights. Gamespot has stated that the story should be pleasing to fans of the manga series. 1UP.com stated that the controls are not that accurate at emulating real punches. Gamespot praised the unique blend of a story and career mode, and commented how closely the game matched the style of the anime.
