Ashita no Joe brings to Japanese arcades the protagonist of one of the most influential boxing manga in history, the story of Joe Yabuki created by Asao Takamori and Tetsuya Chiba in the 60s, turned here into an arcade boxing game with the same spirit of sacrifice and punch-for-punch grit that characterizes the original work.
Being a license aimed exclusively at the Japanese audience, it never crossed borders, but it works as an interesting piece for anyone who wants to see how the arcade world absorbed the big manga icons of the era.
