"Ultimately, Real Boxing 2’s gameplay falls way too short of the standard expected on a console like the Switch. Without the option to use the touch screen, attacking with the analogue stick feels clunky, with no weight behind the attacks. It makes the fights feel boring and a bit of a chore to get through. In addition, while the visuals look perfectly fine on smaller screens, pop your Switch into docked mode and it really highlights how janky some of the models and animations look."

About

Boxing pits two fighters in a top-down clash where landing punches via the fire button determines victory. Players earn one point for long-range jabs and two for close-range power strikes. Matches end when one boxer lands 100 total punches or two minutes pass. If time expires, whoever has more points wins, though ties are possible. The simplicity lets strategy emerge through positioning and timing. The game’s charm lies in its tactical depth beneath straightforward mechanics. Pressing opponents toward the ropes or alternating punch types to keep them on the move adds nuance. With no knockdowns or rounds, the focus stays on scoring efficiency. Released in 1981 for Intellivision, it remains a brisk test of reflexes and planning.
