Obscure Video Games: The Aka-Champion

Hit me baby, one more time

Who wants to play a mini-game collection where babies slap the crap out of each other? Nobody? What about if they’re creepy-looking Cabbage Patch Kid rejects? Still no? Oh well, that’s what I’m going to talk about here anyway.

Simple 2000 Series Vol. 94: The Aka-Champion: Come On Baby is a 2005 release for PS2 from D3 Publisher and developer Expotato. It’s the home version of their 2000 arcade game. Unfortunately neither of these came to the West, but don’t let that stop you from looking for them.

The snowboard slap-fighting in my GIF above is just one way to brutalize your babies.

Some more examples are:

• electrified jump rope
• vicious polar bears
• skydiving “accidents”
• giant killer snowballs

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. There’s a ton of dangerous mini-games here, and they’re divided into summer and winter events. Some are fun, some are frustrating, and some are just weird. There’s even a two-player mode, so you can injure infants with a friend.

The Aka-Champion isn’t an easy game to find (even online); but if you see it for a reasonable price then grab that baby and see if you can beat it.
