Real Excite Boxing
Back in the early Neo days, there was an announcement of a boxing game titled "Heavy Glove Boxing" and there was also a rumor of a game called "High Voltage 12+1." These games were never released or confirmed as really existing. Some speculated that "High Voltage 12+1" was the working name for "Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer," which was always questioned. But there is a new game that may be coming to the Neo titled "Real Voltage," and it is a BOXING game, which may be based on those other 2 titles. The interesting aspect is that the developer is "ARUZE." The game will feature rendered graphics with a view type as the original "Punch-out" games. Aruze is planning on bringing "Real Voltage" to the PSX2, DC, and even to their slot machines, as they did with Samurai Shodown (the SS slot machines with LCD screen have been a complete success, and Aruze will be using the same type slot cabinets with LCD screen for their upcoming "Real Voltage" slots). Aruze has confirmed with NGF directly about this upcoming game. They told us that there are 6 characters (boxers): Ryuji, R3KO, Fujio, Shark, Gody, and Rudolf. They plan on adding another 6 characters to that line up, possibly more. If all goes well "Real Voltage" will be released on the NeoGeo MVS by March/April of 2002, and hit the PSX2 and DC shortly there after. We'll have to keep our fingers crossed and hope that this game will be released.
