The story focuses heavily on character development, even during the matches something is learned about the fighters.
Ippo and his friendly rivalry with Miyata is the main draw in the early part of the series.
That later changes to Ippo's path towards the Japanese Featherweight Championship and eventually the world championship.
Along the way we are given glimpses into the other side character's pasts, motivations, relationships to others and current boxing trials.
This is a simulation game in which the player choose what training wants the boxer to do each month and then watch him fighting.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Hajime no Ippo: The Fighting! for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Hajime no Ippo: The Fighting! to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1997.
