Do you remember the delightfully weird brawler Bare Butt Boxing that was revealed at a MIX showcase back in 2022? Well, after a period in early access, developer Tuatara Games has revealed that the pant-less fighter will be stepping into the ring on Switch on 1st August.
A name like Bare Butt Boxing tells you everything that you need to know, honestly. Yes, this is a boxing game where every character proudly places their posterior on display. A group of aliens travel to Earth and become obsessed with the wonderful world of boxing. Naturally, they want to try it out for themselves, but they miss a couple of key details. Like the need to wear pants.
If it sounds silly, that's because it is. But it also looks like it could be a good laugh. There are wobbly physics-based fighters, perilous portals to punt your opponents into and, of course, power-ups to keep things interesting.
With both online and local multiplayer enabled, it looks like it could be just silly enough to while away the hours of a Switch game night, no?
Here's the official rundown and a handful of screenshots from Tuatara Games:
Okay, so it might not be rivalling Smash Bros. for one of the console's best fighters any time soon, but butt-based brawling is certainly original — unless you are a Wario main, that is.
