Victorious Boxers bobs, weaves, jumps to DS

The Hajime no Ippo games -- based on a manga of the same name, or the US-anime title, Fighting Spirit -- have been all over the place, system-wise, and now it's time for the DS to take a turn. There's even a teaser site if you're interested in taking a peek. Victorious Boxers DS is already dated; it'll be out December 4, in Japan.

The last Hajime no Ippo game that was released for a Nintendo handheld (the GBA) came out of the revered corner of the industry known as Treasure, but this one, alas, comes from Grand Prix Games, developers of many a Victorious Boxers title. In fact, they're the folks behind the recent Wii game, which we enjoyed. Everyone else? Not quite as enthusiastic.

Tap, tap, tap - or is it button presses?

I love boxing, boxing games even more, but I'm not to sure about this one.
