Hajime no Ippo: The Fighting! came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, published by Atari. It was part of that wave of licensed games based on popular anime and manga, a common sight on the handheld at the time. You step into the boxing gloves of Ippo Makunouchi, following his journey from a bullied high school student to a professional fighter.

You control Ippo through his training and matches, managing his stamina and executing punches with button combinations. The main objective is to win fights and climb the ranks. Signature mechanics include a training mini-game system to boost your stats and a unique first-person perspective during bouts where you aim your punches. The pacing is deliberate, with a significant focus on preparation between fights, and the difficulty can spike sharply against more skilled opponents. It feels like a genuine test of your timing and strategy, not just button mashing.
