Edjamakated Posted October 4, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-chosen-one Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 no motion plus please leave that out they should use other realistic boxing games for that not Punchout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted October 4, 2008 Share 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!!

brynpearson Posted October 4, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkjak Posted October 4, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maase Posted October 4, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ninja0 Posted October 5, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought motion controls were to improve games, not keep them the same as when they were mapped to a NES controller! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 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! 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.

Guest Maase Posted October 5, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pit-Jr Posted October 5, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzeL Posted October 5, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkjak Posted October 10, 2008 Share 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.
