I forgot this series existed and damn, now I can see why.

A game where every character has unique personalities but they're also stereotypical ones. But damn, I wont lie that's what made the series fun. I died laughing watching the Aran Ryan boxing match. But in today's climate would Nintendo even allow such light hearted jokes anymore?




And I wont forget at one point the developers wanted to add Princess Peach as a final boss but they pussed out in favor of using Donkey Kong. And that was 11 years ago.

Edit: But then you could box against her anyway in all the Olympic games.

Super punch out is one of my favourite games of alltime
if they do remake it they need to stay in the original format...but dont add no silly gyro or waggle shit

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

The Wii Punch Out is low-key one of the best games of its gen. Pure arcade pleasure. The game franchise still kicks my butt on the higher difficulties / boxers, though. It would be cool if they finally added a multiplayer mode, some option that lets one player control the opponent. I wouldn't expect a full moveset like Mac's, but it'd be fun to play as the boss and shake up the normal "tells" for moves.

The Switch is a good way to reintroduce the franchise and add some more Super Punch Out guys in it, as well as newer boxers.

It peaked with Super Punch Out. Id get down with a 2.5d version a la new super Mario but I have no interest in the Wii version.

Former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is looking to satisfy the hunger for a new boxing game.

The most famous boxing video game on the map - "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out" - made it's debut on Nintendo's NES system 33 years ago.

After Nintendo's license to use Mike Tyson as a special character expired, it replaced Tyson with a fictional character called Mr. Dream and re-released the game for the NES as simply Punch-Out in August 1990. There were sequels released for some of Nintendo's later consoles, but none of them had the fanfare or the nostalgia factor of the original.

During a recent interview with Shacknews, Tyson expressed heavy interest in releasing a new video game based on the famous 'Punch-Out' title. He wants to use his cannabis licensing and branding company, Tyson Ranch, as the backbone for the venture.

"Hey listen, we're going to start our own Punch-Out game and our own Tyson Ranch computer game and bring it back to life, man. Bring back Mike Tyson's Punch-Out," Tyson said.

Urgh, give me Fight Night 2021 instead please. It would instantly be my most wanted next gen game.

 

[REDRZA MWS]

The OG Punch Out! Arcade game and Mike Tyson’s punch out were something of my favorite, and most fun games. When I beat Tyson it was one of the most satisfying accomplishments in gaming. Kudos to Nintendo, I seriously hope this series makes a return.

 

[REDRZA MWS]

Urgh, give me Fight Night 2021 instead please. It would instantly be my most wanted next gen game.

100%, but two different games. One is a really fun arcade style game, the other is a Boxing sim. Fight Night Champion still the best Boxing game of all time, one of my most wanted next gen games too.

 

[deriks]

No. Eventually they will develop another game. Remember that before the Wii, only the SNES got one

 

[clem84]

If Nintendo had balls, they'd go all out with the stereotypes. That would be refreshing in today's market place. Imagine all the most politically incorrect things you can think of about every country. Put that in there. I'd buy it just on principle.

Besides, Punch-Out! has always had polished and really fun gameplay. A new instalement would be welcome.

 

[ExpandKong]

The Wii game was wild coz if you were a real masochist you could use the balance board from Wii Fit to do your dodges. Also a bunch of croissants flew out of Glass Joe when you beat him and that was funny.

I will buy more Punch-Out at a high price

 

[turtlepowa]

You will rather see a Punch Out with some Naughty Dogs Shemale shit before this.

 

[Rock And Roll]

I always want more punch out and with Mike saying he's ready to fight again I want it even more. Maybe Nintendo can make a Chinese guy who eats bats as a new character

 

[Enjay]

No. Especially not during this or next gen. Their characters would be seen as offensive.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

His "soup spray" corrupts the save file.

 

[SCB3]

It seems to be left in the past along with FZero and Kid Icarus for some reason

 

[iconmaster]

Punch-Out occupies a strange niche where it's kind of a reflex-action game and kind of a very precise rhythm puzzler. Next Level did a fantastic job with Punch-Out!! for Wii (video on its fantastic animation linked below) and while I respect it, I can't say I really enjoyed it.

It's just a really weird series that doesn't have a clear path forward, IMO.

 

[Space Runaway]

I believe the last release sold under a million on the Wii, so probably not.

I don't think the chracters should bother people though. Names like Pizza Pasta and Vodka Drunkenski were changed a million years ago and none of the "stereotypes" are done in an offensive way.

 

[clem84]

Man they should remaster Punch-out Wii for the Switch, playable with sticks and buttons as it should be. I know this might be a weird reason but I never got into the Wii game because of that.

 

[anthraticus]

Someone missed the boat to Reject Era.

It’s been a minute but I’m fairly confident the Wii version was playable with a sideways Wiimote.

It will be a launch title for whenever Nintendo releases their VR console.

[Pejo]

I think that since Treehouse has got it's filthy censoring mitts all over Nintendo, we'll never get another Punch-Out. It's a game based on a lot of silly stereotypes that i'm sure are "harmful" in Treehouse's sanctimonious eyes. Fuck them, seriously.

 

[D.Final]

Amazing video

 

[Caffeine]

I think it has room to come back. especially a remake of a specific version.
