Summary

Exciting Boxing stands out on the Famicom thanks to its quirky, inflatable controller shaped like a boxer’s head. You actually blow up the plastic stand, then jab the front‑facing figure, and hidden sensors translate each punch into on‑screen action. The whole experience feels more like a novelty arcade booth than a typical cartridge game.

The game itself is stripped‑down but functional, offering a training mode to boost your stats and a first‑person fight mode where you see the opponent from your own gloves. Progress is saved with a simple password system, so you can pick up where you left off without a memory card.

Only seven opponents await, each representing a heavier weight class and demanding faster, stronger punches. As you climb the ladder, the boxers become tougher to hit and harder to knock down, forcing you to keep training between bouts to stay competitive.
