Posted October 4, 2008 The game has always been more of a puzzle game than a boxing game. The proof is that you only have 4 punches: bottom/top left, bottom/top right. That's it. It wouldn't be right if they added wiimotion plus. It would make sense to do so. The balance board, however, would be neat for dodging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2008 no motion plus please leave that out they should use other realistic boxing games for that not Punchout Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2008 no motion plus please leave that out they should use other realistic boxing games for that not Punchout But can't motionplus just be used to make your hits register more effectively; not bothered about placement or anything; but WIi Sports Boxing doesn't exactly register every single hit!!

Posted October 4, 2008 i think i prefer the snes graphics to the ones that there using for the wii. probly on my own but nevermind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2008 Since this is a standalone product, and ALL Wii owners already have Wii Sports, Nintendo have to make the controls more advanced to even give a reason of developing the game. Taking money for "Wii sports boxing with not broken controls and retro-inspired graphics" is just laughable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I asked on the last page, and I'm gonna ask again: why do you automatically think its going to be as basic as Wii Sports Boxing? Its obvious that Punch Out!! will be more fleshed out- or is it just me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2008 Punch Out is not a normal punching game, it has a lot more strategy than the other Boxing games, bear that in mind, darkjak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2008 Yeah, we won't see advanced motion controls on this one. It will be simplistic as the previous ones. And it will probably be good at it. The comedic factor is granted already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taking money for "Wii sports boxing with not broken controls and retro-inspired graphics" is just laughable. I completely agree. Do we know if this uses MotionPlus yet? I thought motion controls were to improve games, not keep them the same as when they were mapped to a NES controller! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought motion controls were to improve games, not keep them the same as when they were mapped to a NES controller! Miyamoto said at E3 that Punch-Out!! was one such game which could work well with MotionPlus. NGamer also said that we'd be using the Balance Board to dodge right before E3.

Posted October 5, 2008 Wait, they're going to make Punch out in a normal boxiing game? NOOOOO, DON'T RUIN IT, NINTENDO!!! Punch Out is one of the best "sport" games ever made, don't ruin it by putting it à lá every other Boxing game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Punch Out is one of the best "sport" games ever made, don't ruin it by putting it à lá every other Boxing game The game will most likely still retain the strategic aspect of the old games. That alone makes it different, right? Note: I don't usually play boxing games, so I may be talking bullshit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 5, 2008 I started screaming because of this Could work well. You're forgetting that MotionPlus is an optional attachment, it's likely that it can be played without it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2008 The fact that this game looks well into production and the fact that its released towards the end of next year suggests that they are implementing several control schemes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2008 The fact that this game looks well into production and the fact that its released towards the end of next year suggests that they are implementing several control schemes NGamer said it would be at E3 and was set to be a big Christmas game, suggesting it's actually complete.

Posted October 5, 2008 Wow..... This thread filled up with a bunch of bullshit quicker than expected. Ugh......Where are your sources? Are you referring to me? I'm pretty sure I said that Miyamoto himself and NGamer issue #27 are my sources - I'll get links for you if you want. I never said they were fact, I'm just talking about what they said...

Posted October 5, 2008 he could have meant me, i swore i read somewhere that it was getting released second half of 09, but after looking into it , its apparently first half of 09, IGN have it down for end of March. Either way, its a long wait for a game thats supposedly finished Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2008 I think next March/April is the best bet tbh. Can't see this coming out before then and I also doubt that it's complete, though this is of course possible. I just think if this was ready before Xmas then it would come out before Xmas given Nintendo's relatively weak lineup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2008 mm by hearing the interview it will indeed have motion plus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2008 I asked on the last page, and I'm gonna ask again: why do you automatically think its going to be as basic as Wii Sports Boxing? Its obvious that Punch Out!! will be more fleshed out- or is it just me? Well, when Wii Sports Boxing was shown, people thought that THAT was the new punch out. The question is really how much you can do? The basics are the same: camera behind the boxer, suggesting you can't move arround the ring, and it's boxing for pete's sake. There won't be any kicks, no low attack. So the question is how much Nintendo will be able to change the combat system with those restrictions. I am however not thinking that it'll be the same as WSB, I'm just saying that Nintendo will have to do a lot for it to be different enough to purchase.
