Marvelous previously streamed a 10-minute prologue video last week:

The game will be set on an isolated island where brawling is the greatest form of entertainment. The game's characters all feature men who have their own hidden motives for arriving at the island, and seek to achieve them through fighting. Knock Out Monkey performs the game's theme song "Oh, No."

Marvelous will release the game on April 21 on the PlayStation Vita. The game retails for 6,980 yen (about US$60), those who purchase the first copies of the game will receive a special "Men's Knucle Uppers" booklet, a two-disc soundtrack, and a download code for a queen swimsuit outfit.

A demo version of the game will be available on the PlayStation Store in a few days.
