Champion Boxing is the first videogame directed by Yu Suzuki. I like boxing games a lot so i figured i'd check this out.
It's footsies type of game, as you can easily go back and forth to bait your oponent and keep winning. Blocking can be useful but I wasn't able to punish a lot. The cheapness from good old boxing games comes when your oponent randomly decides to unleash a flurry of attacks on you until you're knocked down but most of the time, I was able to get up, worst case scenario you get TKO'd which seems to be random.
Very visually appealing, I wish the fighters would change when you beat them as you always fight the same dude and it's just keeps getting harder, but hey it's an arcade game from 1983. Always cool to visit videogame developers first works.
