Majesco
Punches Up Their Game Boy Advance Line Up With
The Addition Of ‘Boxing Fever’
Innovative,
Arcade-Style Boxing Game To Hit Stores This
October
Further
strengthening its position as a leading publisher
for Game Boy Advance, Majesco, Inc today
announced their entrance into the sports genre
with Boxing Fever. Developed by Montreal-based
Digital Fiction and slated for release in
October, Boxing Fever is set to deliver an
outrageously unique, and action-packed new boxing
experience.
"Boxing
Fever delivers a unique perspective that
heightens player immersion through fast-paced
action seen through the eyes of the boxer,"
said Joseph Sutton, Executive Vice President,
Majesco, Inc. "Additionally, the game’s
stylish cartoon look and feel combines humor and
strategy to attract both young and mature
audiences."
Boxing
Fever’s innovative game play combines skill
and strategy-based boxing, and utilizes full
screen character animation technology optimized
for the handheld’s small screen. Boxing from
a first-person perspective, players hit the gym
and begin their training using a special robot
trainer. Once a player has honed their skills,
they can then move on to compete in five separate
boxing championships. Utilizing the Game Boy
Advance link cable, two players can compete
against each other through five difficulty levels
in multi-player mode. Boxing Fever’s high
replay value is enhanced by the game’s
password protected start anywhere feature.
Boxing Fever
features eight colorful, cartoon-style boxers and
two other hidden bosses for players to unlock.
Each character displays fluid signature boxing
moves, a unique personality, and three different
skins for players to earn. An innovative password
combination system allows players to trade and
combine passwords to get additional skins and
boss fighting privileges. Extensive music,
in-game narrative, and special effects convey
motion and emotion to bring the game to life.
