Vega Brawl (game)

Vega Brawl is a concept game created by Nahte Yamasztuka. The gameplay is inspired by the Nintendo Punch Out!! arcade games, as well as elements of Rhythm Doctor. The game seeks to both serve as a celebration of Punch Out!! as well as international variations of Jazz music. You will fight against twelve boxers from twelve different countries, each representing a kind of Jazz music which has been associated with their culture or region.

The story of the game, taking place in 1962, details Cassiopeia Bloom, an up-and-coming hobbyist boxer who is a student by day. Due to the stigmatization and illegal nature of women's boxing during that period, she can only practice with her mother Kaeti Bloom, who used to participate in underground rings across the United States in her youth. However, following the appearance of flyers for the Vega Brawl in their home town of New Orleans, the impoverished Bloom family chooses to apply due to a large cash prize. On their acceptance, Cassiopeia takes up her mother's torch as they travel to defeat twelve international opponents throughout the month of October.
