Punch-Out!! (Nintendo)

Part of the Family Computer 30th Anniversary Campaign.

What rookie boxer Little Mac lacks in size, he makes up for in determination. And with trainer Doc Louis by his side, Little Mac is ready to win big! NES classic Punch-Out!! pits your pint-sized pugilist against such diverse rivals as the fragile-jawed Frenchman Glass Joe, sucker-punching Russian Soda Popinski and the Hollywood heavyweight Super Macho Man. Use jabs, body blows, hooks and uppercuts to discover your opponent's weak spot and make the knockout blow. Also, look out for an appearance by Mario as the referee!

Iwata Asks: Punch Out

Wada: This is a great opportunity, so I have something I'd like to say. In Punch-Out!!, the game gives you a lot of hints about effective timing of punches. There is a big boxer called Bald Bull in the NES version as well and a light flashes to the right in the audience when he charges. If you punch when it flashes you will land a body blow.

Tanabe: What? Really?

Wada: No one has known about that for about 22 years…

Everyone: (laughter)

Wada: I was wondering when I would have a chance to tell people that.

Iwata: You've been holding that information for 22 years since the release. (laughs)

Wada:Now that I had the chance. (laughs) There are a lot of hidden elements in the NES version.

I wonder if the normal hd lag that makes this game nearly impossible to beat on modern tvs will effect off screen play.

I enjoyed the other 2 games (f-zero hell yeah) but this is the one I've been waiting on. One of my favorite games of all time! I play it damn near every day on my 3DS.

I doubt it. F-Zero plays like a champ from my garage. But I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I loved the Wii Punch Out game and came very close to buying it for $5 on the VC before... and again on 3DS... and again for Club Nintendo points. This time I'll take the plunge on the original.

Fortunately, this is a pretty good little arcade game. Kind of a puzzle fighter, with the puzzle being figuring out every character's weaknesses and tells.

Unfortunately, it's not Earthbound, and I already have this on the Wii VC. :I

It will not. The Gamepad has very little input lag.

Also, you can find full sized hdtvs that have very little input lag as well. It's not a problem you have to accept.

Wow, they sure are getting a lot of playtime for 30 cents. I'm only playing the games we are getting for like a day, not complaining though since it's 30 cents.

Def buying this game. How can anyone pass up 30 cents? LOL Nintendo is going to making a killing selling these old classics like this.

I played Balloon Fight and F-Zero for a day. We'll see if Punch Out will keep my interest longer. Love the .30 initiative though even if I'm buying them and barely playing. .30 is just as good as free for me.

I already have Punch-Out on Wii and 3DS, but whatever, I'll buy it again. I'll play it a little bit and it's an easy 10 Club Nintendo points.

Will get.

And I hope the next Punchout game has a Glass Joe mode where you can lead him to glory. The ultimate Cinderella story.

Will definitely buy. For 30 cents I'm buying all games. Nintendo should make similar promotions during the year.

OP: The European price does include tax, otherwise it would be illegal for them to sell it on their store.

Will definitely pick this up.

I would do some terrible things to have fire emblem 3 instead of F-zero and mother 2 remix or whatever they called it instead of punch out. Will still get it for 30 cents. Honestly I hope Nintendo continues this promotion past the announced games.

I don't even really like punch out all that much, but how can I not buy it at 30 cents? If anything, it's worth it for the club Nintendo coins.

*Yawn*

I will get it just because it's 30 cents, but I already have the 3DS version through Club Nintendo.

Punch-Out is a good game, but it's one of the most unexciting games that Nintendo likes to continually whore out.

Looking forward to this, can't believe these are so cheap.

Popinski's gonna get decked. That's got to be the best videogame character name ever.
