Bare Butt Boxing, originally revealed at a MIX showcase in 2022, is finally making its debut on the Switch on 1st August after a period in early access. The concept of a boxing game where every character proudly displays their posterior is certainly a unique one. The game follows a group of aliens who become obsessed with boxing upon visiting Earth, but overlook the need to wear pants in the process. While the premise may sound silly, it also promises to be a good laugh with its wobbly physics-based fighters, perilous portals, and intriguing power-ups.
The game features colorful and mischievous aliens hosting unregulated boxing matches on Earth. Players can launch opponents or a giant beach ball into portals to earn points based on the game mode in play. With local multiplayer for up to 4 players, online matches for up to 6 players, and single-player mode with bots, there are plenty of options for players to test their skills. In addition to punching, collecting item boxes for special powers like the powerful vacuum and super frenzy is essential for victory. Players must also be wary of stage hazards like gusting winds and disappearing platforms that can impact their score.
One of the highlights of Bare Butt Boxing is the wide range of customization options available for each fighter. Players can choose from shiny new skins, wacky fonts, and the latest alien boxing glove fashions to create a unique look for their character. These customization options can be accessed in local play and unlocked via in-game coins for showing off in online matches.
While Bare Butt Boxing may not compete with popular fighting games like Smash Bros., its quirky and original concept certainly sets it apart. The game’s focus on butt-based brawling adds a comedic element that is sure to appeal to players looking for a lighthearted gaming experience. Whether you’re intrigued by the idea of aliens boxing without pants or simply looking for a fun multiplayer game to enjoy with friends, Bare Butt Boxing offers a unique and colorful gaming experience worth trying out on the Switch.
