Reception
[edit]Next Generation reviewed the PlayStation version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "The matches are something of a letdown, being realistic to a fault, slow, and with sluggish control. The title shows an interesting effort, and with some tweaking it would make a fine US import. Until then, unless you can read a good deal of Japanese, you're out of luck."[2]
