Exciting Boxing is a Famicom exclusive never released in the West, built by Konami around the Famicom microphone, with the player shouting instructions from the corner. That reliance on a peripheral specific to Japanese hardware makes it awkward to use abroad and concentrates demand among fans of Konami curiosities and early voice-input games. Scarcity of complete boxed copies keeps its valuation well above its modest gameplay reputation.
