Punch-Out!! for Wii - Official Thread...

[The 1 2 P]

I don't have my Wii hooked up online but was wondering: does Nintendo have demos for the majority of their games the way the 360 and PS3 does? I'd like to try this out first.

If Soda Popinski (Vodka Drunkinski) shows up, I will buy this game in a heart beat.

Now, if Super Macho Man shows up, will he still have his disturbingly jiggly man boobs?

Bump for the game of the year! Two more weeks baby!!!

So as the reviews trickle in, my suspicions are being slowly confirmed. The motion controls and balance board gimmicks are lame. The latest Nintendo Power review even goes out of their way to dismiss any other control scheme than the "standard" Wiimote on it's side (NES style). Interesting.

Wow, that's saying a lot! I'm not surprised though.

I'm excited about this game, but I'm going to wait for a price drop. I'm sure it's going to be great, but $50-$60 is just too much. I'll wait until it hits around $35 or so (new or used)

You're always talking about saving money.

That's an awesome offer. Unfortunately I'm in Canada and there's a bestbuy nowhere near me

I'm a cheap bastard

I'm in Canada, but I guess I am "lucky" (read: smart) to live in the GTA. Actually, there is a Best Buy 1 block from me which is crazy considering that I live in Newmarket. I would have never guessed one would be put here.

I'm really anticipating this game. But my friend has a Wii, and he agreed that once he gets it, we'll be playing it all day. I seriously can't wait.

Does anyone know if you get any goodies with the Gamestop preorder?

Granted this is a very good classic game! But I have a filling they left it to original(not enough new stuff). Maybe playing it to safe. I know I would bitch if they changed it too much also so they couldn't win. All I'm saying is I'll probably wait to pick it up. From what I've heard It sounds short. And not a lot of new opponents. I can't remember but the Nes and Snes had a lot of fighters and they are carts. They could have made this game huge on a disc. The defending the championship mode sounds good. You fight the same people just harder with different patterns. Giving it replay value. I also don't think many people will be playing with the motion sensor, at least not the classic gamers. Sure we'll try it out, then go play the game the classic way. This was way smart. Don't remove this. I think there should have been a lot of new people. For this reason I like the Snes one. A Lot. I will be getting it, but I will wait 6 months to a year just to save a little money.

That's another thing I don't understand. With a game like this I think that the fun game play is more important than flashy graphics(call me old school but) they could have just made a huge game with 1000 opponents and OK/good graphics and it would be way more fun. Why do they do this. The games haven't gotten bigger. There just more detailed. Now you can go in the house and go in the bathroom and open the medicine cabinet for no reason. Wow!? Fudge all that stuff and make the games them selves bigger. Sorry just an idea. Make SMB4 on the Wii. Old school graphics Mario 3 or SMW style and 1500 levels. This would be way better than Mario Galaxy. Just my opinion. Sorry to rant off topic but it kinda goes with what I'm saying about PO.

I say a lot a lot?

You get the game, isn't that enough? Seriously though, I don't think anyone is offering pre-order bonuses on this one. The closest things would be the glove display and the punch out swag kit Amazon is selling at outrageous prices. Best Buy is giving a $10 gift card with purchase and Costco will be selling it at $43. Target is giving a nunchuck in a bundle with the game for $55 which isn't a bad deal if you need an extra one.

Absolutely amazing how the realease is two days away and the complete character list is still not confirmed:

According to the GT review there are only 13 fighters. If that is true it's kind of weak.

I really wish Nintendo would have gone all out for this game, but who knows. I've yet to play it.

Is it amazing, or does Nintendo know they farmed out one of their most prized franchises to a company who didn't do it justice?

[SegaAges]

Maybe they are holding off because Mike Tyson is coming back!

Dude, that would be awesome
