Its actually the Honda Motors thing.

From GamesRadar:



Its becuase of the name Piston, if he was called Kabuki or whatever other name they wouldnt have change the surname. But Piston directly refers to cars.

That was the joke in the original BTW.

Ah ok, thanks for the info! :)

Ha. It's more epic than anything in Punch-Out!

I guess it can be discussed which tune that is more Epic (at least as in memorable), but i think that both the Punch-Out!! and Super Punch-Out!! tunes are great at least! :)

I havent seen anywhere prise to Super Punch-Out!! soundtrack. Maybe you are the only one that is right in this world after all.

But I read in another thread one person prising F-Zero GX soundtrack, so maybe you two are the only right in this world.

OH NOES, we are all thinking wrong!

Sorry for the double post but here are some videos that people will love *looking to Masked Man*
Piston Hondo and Great Tiger
Great videos, Piston Hondo is incredible. Sushi in his head! :lol

SO. AMAZING. I don't care that much about the name change. (At least it's still a legitimate Japanese name.)

Saw on some site that NWS is having a launch event for this on the 16th.
Curious if anyone here is going?
Want to check out the tourney, and you know get it early. :lol

I thought it wasn't actually going to be at the NWS. I want to go, but the game would cost me an extra $60 dollars thanks to the train ticket there and back.

Piston Hondo profile's on the official site, he's definitely not the mystery character from before. I guess it's Mr. Dream then :\

I put down $5 on a preorder at GS the other day, hours before I learned of the NWS event. I'll probably cancel the preorder and go to NWS for the early score.

Piston Hondo's profile video is :lol
I love that they use the japanese walls in his side of the ring :lol

And that means that its not King Hippo>Bear Hugger>Don Flamenco>Hondo>Tiger as it was first thought.

I think they are going for:

Hondo>Tiger>Bear Hugger>Flamenco>Major Circuit Champion: Bald Bull

Any news on Soda Popinsky (Vodka Drunkinsky)? I hope hes still purple.
Click to expand...
No images still. All we now is that he is in the game, and that he belches (ESRB info).

The most advanced character we have seen ater Don Flamenco is Bald Bull, and only a little face portrait.
Im hoping Super Macho Man and Mr Sandman are well characterized. And I hope Mr Sandman frights the shit out of me.

Punch-Out sounds better by a mile, particularly in terms of timbre.

I dont like how SPO music sounds, it even seems with this that NES sound chip is better than SuperNES, and clearly thats not the case. I really dont understand the prise of its music.

I would put Glass Joe and King Hippo with an spoiler caution, becuase that videos are major spoilers.

How so? Isn't that just the regular levels and music?

Nope
Both of them are from the final mode.
There is different story, different music and different character design for every chaarcter in the final mode.
Theres people that dont want to be spoiled, even if its not very important.

Ive only seen the glass joe one, im not going to see the king hippo. The things that show are those things one whn you are playing you say "Wow, didnt thought the would do that :lol !", they are not mega story spoilers of for example mgs4, but thay are fun two watch when you play, and not in some videos. Like a little surprise.

I hope Don Flamenco speaks spanish from spain and not mexican. Seeing the work that Next level is doing i dont thing they are going to do it wrong.
Hope this dosnt do another Resident Evil 4.:lol

Another question I have is what they are going to do with Bald Bull. Speak in english, as he trained with Doc and its part of the story, or speak turkish?

Don Flamenco is such a douche. I like how after you beat on him for a while, his hairline starts to recede in between rounds. :D

Who renamed those videos had to be stupid :lol

OMG the boxing remix theme from Von Kaiser!!!!
I love it!
Not only is the boxing theme in german mode, also when he falls down :O
So much detail.

OH SHIT! Hes says "Im the German Steel Machine! My name is Von Kaiser!" in german! :O
Some people at Next Level games have seen a lot the Punch-Out!! movie trailer from team awesome.

I love the character art in this. I hope Nintendo releases the character art in high-res sometime. I tried searching the net but I could only find, Mac, Hippo, Joe, and Von Kaiser...

So how did Glass Joe get his KO?

Nobody knows. The story says that the one he beat was so ashamed of himself he dissapeared from earth surface. For the contrary we know that Gabby Jays KO was from winning his trainer, Glass Joe... and was beat of fatigue.:lol

They are now part of the punch-out!! pop culture. If only Von Kaiser would shout Zee Uppercut! Now that would be awesome.

In Super Punch-Out, if you look at the times for Nick Bruiser, Glass Joe is on there.

Yeah, I dunno either.

Yes, but a variety of NOA employees also beat him, if the high score tables are to be believed...

About the character:

I don't mind him being included in the game, as long as Next Level does a good job of characterizing him. Given what we've seen with other characters, I think that's a safe bet :).

Besides, Aran Ryan always struck me as the first boxer who doesn't fuck around and isn't there to make a fool of himself against you (even though he's a piece of cake when you've figured out how to get rid of him).

Besides, he's one of the few SPO characters outside of those revealed that don't have outlandish moves like kicks or staff attacks. Who would have been the other realistic options, honestly? Bob Charlie, Narcis Prince, the Bruiser bros. --I don't know if they're in the game--? It's almost a given that Sandman and Super Macho Man are already in the game, so that leaves Mad Clown, Heike Kagerô and Masked Muscle. The three of them have defining moves that are against the rules of boxing. Even the Bruiser brothers use non-legit moves.

I'm pretty sure this means we won't be seeing
Soda Popinski
, because that guy being revealed that brings the confirmed roster to:

1. Glass Joe
2. Von Kaiser
3. Disco Kid
4. King Hippo

5. Bear Hugger
6. Don Flamenco
7. Great Tiger
8. Piston Hondo

And I'm assuming we'll be rounding out the World Circuit with with

9.
Aran Ryan
10.
Bald Bull
11.
Mr. Sandman
12.
Super Machoman

Final Battle:
13.
Mr. Dream

9, 10, and 12 have been confirmed by either trailers, ads, or the ESRB, but I really can't see them leaving out 11 which leads me to believe that we won't be seeing
Soda Popinski
this time around which makes me very sad. Though I suppose we could move 12 to the 13th spot and add you know who into the World Circuit...
