Ourfirst screenshotof Namco’s upcomingHajime no IppoPS3 fighter looked likePunchout!!, and that was alright.
This lengthy trailer, however, points to a full 3D fighter and a huge, seemingly fungible skill list that instantly reminded me ofGod Hand, partially out of appropriateness, partially becauseeverythingseems toremindme ofGod Handthese days.
I’d been meaning to get into the latestHajime no Ippoanime for a while because sports anime can be great (Ping Pong: The Animation, am I right?). If this game hooks me in the ways I like (thinkIchi the Killer), I just might start watching the show. For the time being, I will hope for Namco to somehow bring this West and curse the fact that I am not playingGod Handright now.
