From the 'games we hope see a U.S. release' file come these new screens from Hajime No Ippo, the boxing game based on the anime and manga series of the same name. Whether or not you're familiar with the story (this game is said to follow some of the earlier storylines), we're pretty sure everyone will agree that this looks like it could be fun, especially since the game will feature a control scheme along the lines of Wii Sports Boxing. Not convinced? Hit the jump for a few more screens.

I've been waiting for a game like this. A boxing game with this sort of look. I would like Wii Boxing but it isnt that responsive. This looks really cool.

i agree it looks cool. took me awhile to get into wii sports boxing - you really have to invest in figuring out how it wants you to move. but after the learning curve i started to like it... unfortunately it really lacks depth. if the control in this is at least as good as wii sports, i could see it being quite enjoyable.

Games based on this series have been very good so far, I'd hope it gets released here but past sales make it doubtful.

Wii Sports boxing controls kinda suck.

I'm a big fan of the anime and really hope this gets released in North America. I've heard good things about the PS2 Ippo games and really want to try the Wii one out.

That game looks pretty awesome to me. If the gameplay is as decent as the visual quality it could be a hit. I have never heard of the anime before but I like the style a lot and the game looks very energetic.
