Lost a bit in the mess of announcements and impressions that was
this year's E3 was the
news that XSEED is bringing the Wii version of anime-flavored boxing sim
Victorious Boxers to the states at the end of September. The sequel to the
PlayStation 2 classics, which is already out in Japan, offers three different control modes: one using the classic controller, one using the Remote and Nunchuk to simulate boxing gloves (a la
Wii Sports: Boxing) and one that uses the remote pointer to control things.
A
video preview on Gamespot (embedded after the break!) shows the boxers doing elaborate dodges as well as some incredibly over-the-top special moves. It's hard to gauge how well the motion-sensing controls work without some hands-on time, but it has to be better than the
flail-fest that is
Wii Sports.
