FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
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
EDISON, NJ, August 9, 2001 –
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.
