I couldn't tell you if Destineer's upcoming Nintendo DS title Animal Boxing is going to be any good. Honestly, all of my instincts tell me "No." But my heart screams "yes," if only for the fact that Animal Boxing is exactly what it advertises to be -- a game where animals put on gloves and box. 

The trailer makes the game out to look a bit like Nintendo's Punch-Out!! arcade title, putting players in control over disembodied boxing gloves as they pummel billy goats, alligators, zebras, and more. How anyone could resist, I'll never know.

It also looks like animal boxing will feature an unprecedented number of boxing animals. Destineer have passed along 48 images, each detailing a different animal. Not only does Animal Boxing have more boxers than both Electronic Arts' Fight Night and Punch-Out!! combined, but they're all freakin' animals. 

And no, King Hippo does not count.

Either the mock-up video maker is retarded or it looks like you play the game with the DS upside down?

Niero, my guess is that they chose to make it upside down so you could use the touch screen at the top of the system instead of the bottom. With most punches aimed for the upper 1/2 of a body, with animation occurring across both screens, it definitely makes sense that they'd want it that way.

Yeah, you play it upside down. I got the chance to try it out at the Gamestop managers conference. It actually wasn't that bad. $20 for an on the go punch out style game isn't bad either

Where is the damn kanagroo? I did not see one.



I demand kanagroos in my boxing games and in streets of rage.


It only gets a 5/10 if there is no kangaroo.

this is the kind of bullshit that PETA should get up in arms about.

The resemblance between this and Boxing in the DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is absolutely unnerving.
