It's looking great, definitely looking forward to this. I absolutely love the animations in the new videos. There's one with Don Flamenco in the GT preview that's subtly awesome. When Mac dodges an uppercut and is about to counter with a star-punch, Don's facial expression shift is absolutely priceless. Give me this game now.

This! Man, such good times playing Mike Tyson's punch out. The NES days were truly the greatest. Growing up in the 80's? Nothing like it.

Back when the original Punch Out came out, MIKE TYSON, me and one of my cousins played it to death. I'll never forget us playing, and as one of us played the game the other one gave pep talks, patted each other on the back, rubbed shoulders, just acted like it was a real boxing match. Awesome, awesome times. :lol
my wife and I were just talking about this. Every generation sees their fads and styles come back... 50s came back in the 70s. 60s late 80s. 70s early 90s.. etc. but the 80s. That era was one of the very few instances of its own era (kind of like the 60s actually). 80s was still poular in the 90s. in the 00s. etc. you still here about 80s music. 80s cartoons. 80s movies. 80s video games. 80s pop culture I guess was just one of those things that will always be relevant, much like the 60s before it. kind of weird.LovingSteam said:
but anyway, I agree. nothing like being a child of the 80s.
as for Punch Out NES.. it is definitely one of the few games from that era that is every bit as magnificent today as it was 20 years ago. my daughter who typically dislikes video games from that era (8 years old and not much into games to start with) totally got into me going through punch out. Started cheering for me, yelling at the TV, etc. Then she even asked to give it a try herself (didn't get far though
)Stick kids today in front of a lot of NES or even SNES games and they scoff at the low visual quality compared to today's titles. Throw them in front of a select few though and they become engrossed in the game like it was a modern day title. Punch Out is one of those.

While I suspect the dude is just incorrect, I was told at GameStop today that the game is coming out the 16th after I reserved it. I didn't realize this was a Saturday until after I left the store so I couldn't press him on it. But, you know, FYI. I guess there's a tiny chance they're breaking the street date the same day as the Nintendo World Store event.

You lucky son of a bitch.
Congrats, you have a great wife
I would buy the Little Mac glove if amazon send it to europe, but it says only america
BTW Could you take some photos of the Hippo kit and the glove.
Lambtron said:
Could you take a better photo of Popinski and Sandman (if its Sandman, because im thinking it could be emo Don Flamenco). Thanks in advance.

I hate this thread... it spoiled the entire game for me...
I know, the paterns and all are what makes the gmae, but I still wanted to see them one by one... especially the dream fight, that only space ridley spoiler tagged it. :/

I always thought it would be awesome if it was Rocky Balboa.
The uderdog vs the underdog. Now that would be awesome.
He would never loose the title (like Tyson) as he is a ficitional character and it would be an excellent tribute to the Rocky saga that thanks to it we have this amazing games created by Genyo Takeda.
Well, is yet possible, and I would love to see a Rocky caricature shouting Adrian between rounds.

The TV ad for this is great.

Just imagine:
With Stallone voice: "You did a great fight kid, thanks for boxing against me"
"Ive never seen a fighter as you Mac, you remeber me when I was young" :lol
I would cry tears of mother fucking joy if I beat a punch-out game and I hear Stallone say that to me as Rocky.

He loses in the movies, you could win him by decision. You have to gain lots of pints to wn of course. That would make it hard and the same as the movies!

He got beaten by Apollo in the first movie, beaten badly and lost the title to Clubber Lang in III, was beaten to the point of brain damage at the end of IV, and lost -- though he fought valiantly -- at the end of VI.
But... I agree he'd put up one hell of a fight!

I'm heading out to eat a late dinner, so I'll update later tonight, but I got the game. It's got a "Gallery" menu which has a "Watch Movies" as well as a "Sound Test" and credits, which is awesome. I still haven't actually played the game though.
