'''Wade Hixton's Counter Punch''' is a little-known boxing game for the ''UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance'', developed by Inferno games and Engine Software.
Generic guy Wade Hixton is on his way back from a monster truck rally when suddenly his car breaks down in the middle of the desert road. Fortunately, a friendly mechanic named Mac takes Wade to town. As he is waiting for his car to get fixed, Wade stops by O'Reilly's pub, where a scuffle with an unruly patron gets him noticed by the enigmatic manager Don. Don offers to be Wade's manager and challenges the mulleted marvel to battle numerous boxers around the city of Big Piney, and so the wild adventure begins for one Mr. Hixton.
''Wade Hixton's Counter Punch'' plays very similar to Nintendo's ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' games. You battle various weird and wacky opponents where you have to dodge and counter attacks. Along the way Wade will meet various characters who will help him out by enhancing his boxing abilities and give him power ups.
