darksnowman Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I played the SNES version last night and thought it was alright, nothing special. Punch punch punch, bob and weave, punch punch punch and fill up that super bar then unload with the A button! If you get knocked down once or twice in the process of winning thats ok. Its about how much you can get hit and keep moving forward.

Pretty much I got bored to be honest, never been a fan of boxing games except for Ready to Rumble on the Dreamcast.
darksnowman Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 But you were meant to notice that I quoted Rocky.

Hero-of-Time Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 But you were meant to notice that I quoted Rocky. When in the hell does Mickey tell Rocky to fill up his super meter and then press A? Directors cut maybe?
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 When in the hell does Mickey tell Rocky to fill up his super meter and then press A? Directors cut maybe? I think Paulie does it in Rocky Four, maybe. Hit the one to up your meter? Or hit the A in the middle. One or the other.
nekunando Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 ..yeh.. I think it was the latest Rocky where it was all about the waggle..
Dante Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) New trailer is out. Edited March 23, 2009 by Dante
Goron_3 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 New trailer is out. That trailer was fricking sweeet! lovely music too
Shino Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Epic!! I'm so glad its done by a western developer, the Japanese don't get the feeling of boxing. Edited March 23, 2009 by Retro_Link
ShadowV7 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I'm loving the cell-shading in this. Great trailer, though it made the game seem easy by always punching the opponents stomach.
Owen Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I'm loving the cell-shading in this. Great trailer, though it made the game seem easy by always punching the opponents stomach. Excellent trailer, great graphics, lovely music..but i must admit it looks way too easy and slightly dare i say it samey....hopefully i'll be proved wrong! Still pretty certain i'm not going to purchase it, but i do have faith in Nintendo changing my mind.
Mike Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I'm still not really sure about this one. The graphics and other presentation aspects look great, but to be honest, gameplay-wise, I'm not seeing much more than a boss battle from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat fleshed out into a whole game.. (Apart from the fact that, obviously, Punch Out and Super Punch Out came first.)
Grazza Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I give them 10/10 for presentation - the scenes with Little Mac training are amongst the best graphics I've ever seen. I'm deeply sceptical about the motion control though. Without MotionPlus, I just don't see how it can be any better than Wii Sports Boxing. I know you can use classic control, but motion control is the whole reason people thought of Punch Out re-emerging for the Wii. Using classic control, it might as well have been released on GameCube! It's still good to have the option though - that's the way forward.
LazyBoy Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Presentation is lovely but the gameplay does seem a little symplistic. Are there any 1:1 boxing games coming out on the wii?
Fierce_LiNk Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 That was a great trailer, and it really shows that this game has a heart. For some reason, I had Rocky quotes going through my head when I was watching it, it's got that feel to it...dunno why I thought that. I definitely want to see or hear more about this. Let's just hope it plays as good as it looks, because it's got a beautiful style to it.
Pit-Jr Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 I like the art here but the animation seems a bit off or maybe its just the trailer. Definately needs to be bundled with Mo-Plus
Zechs Merquise Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Don;t forget it's got classic controls in there too! Sad thing is lack of online - a game like this cries out for leaderboards, rankings and tournaments.
Guest Captain Falcon Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 I was a bit skeptical before, and after having seen that trailer, I'm even more so than I was previously. It really makes this game look exceptionally shallow - it looks nice aesthetically, but the gameplay looked rather dull.
Shino Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Go play Super Punch Out, if don't like that, you probably won't like this.
Ren of Heavens Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Does it have any multiplayer whatsoever? EDIT: Ah, nevermind. It's got a head-to-head mode. Edited March 24, 2009 by Ren of Heavens
Zechs Merquise Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Does it have any multiplayer whatsoever? It has a regular 2 player mode. But for me that's a bit disappointing. I loved Mario Kart online, Pro Evo and COD:WAW (as well as a few others). I just think this would be the ideal kind of game for it.

The trailer was like a Rocky montage, so good.
nekunando Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Sorry if this is already common knowledge (but I wasn't aware of it ) ..Punch-Out!! will use the Balance Board Punch Out Wii Supports Balance Board …And we support Punch Out Wii. Man, there is quite a bit of media lately for this title and I am starting to salivate. Players will be able to use the Wii Balance Board in conjunction with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck to throw punches and dodge and weave at the same time. GoNintendo
