okay, but i don't want this to end up being perpetuated as some huge fuck-up by Matt. First of all, it's easy to miss. Second, the game really stinks for 90% of the game up to that point, and you can't blame him for not wanting to go complete ever last mission (to continue the story you need to select a mission, which is just mixed in with the rest of the ones you haven't completed). The game gets better, but seriously...keep it a 3.9 so that SEGA can fix the pacing, so that you're playing and controlling a character that's fun, like sonic at the end of the game, compared to a complete migraine with shoes and a fancy blue costume.
Aaaanyways. I really wish two player had been enemy vs. enemy. Sure there would be serious balance issues, but who gives a fuck? Put the mode in there, please! I want to King Hippo pound a Bald Bull charge of my friend! Would be great to fool around, figure who can kick whose ass...
hell, give us the option to choose an enemy opponent and play through the circuits...come on, punch-out is kind of compelling because you're little mac. a wimp. Glass Joe is now known as being way more wimpy! Let me take glass joe and turn him into a champ!
Won't happen, but sounds fun to me.

So what does this mean? Will we be seeing more of Punch-Out during GDC? Perhaps at Iwata's keynote? That doesn't seem right, this isn't E3. Seems kinda strange for Nintendo to just toss out a short trailer for a game without fanfare the day before a non-major, development-focused conference. But then they did the same thing with Mario Galaxy, so I guess this is probably it. =/

Holy shit that trailer was awesome.
Love the latest rendition of the theme. Love the graphics. Love the animation. Love the clearly arcade-style gameplay of old. LOVE the bike.
It's odd, as there are times I feel Nintendo are truly disconnected from their old and new fans, and dont really know how to speak to them. Then shit like this comes out with such very, very obvious homages to the classics.
Bravo Nintendo.

In IGN's review of Sonic and the Black Knight they turned the game off as soon as they saw a fake ending and reviewed despite this mistake (found out when someone on a podcast mentioned how much they played and who had actually played the game figured out they missed the vast majority of it).Hobbun said:
They haven't admitted their incompetence up to this point though.

That kind of shit would be so much easier to forgive if they just admitted they fucked up, retracted the review, and re-reviewed it in full.
I mean really, isnt doing something like this also going against any contract signing in regards to getting a publisher like SEGA to send them the game for reviewal? I would imagine publishers kinda want their games reviewed properly.
This is just what I didn't want to happen....They missed the final boss, and what, 3 main missions, and a handful of subpar side missions?
You act like this was half the game, and unless my memory is waaaay off, it's nowhere near. This is Sega's fault. If I hadn't heard of the fake ending I probably wouldn't have noticed either. More a fault of the pacing. The game does get better towards the end. But the beginning to that point, 90% of your time, is spent playing a terrible game. I would give it a 5 or so, and I've played the whole thing.
He should just add that he was in such a rush to be done with that shit that he had no idea there was more to it. Make these goofs happy by "admitting to his huuuge mistake he'll never live down", but I gurantee it would have effect on his score. There's never any real reason to use any of the other characters. I didn't, and I beat all the missions I believe, before I had to return it. If it had really been the "2nd half", maybe the pacing wouldn't have seemed so purely awful.
Oh, and you have to select one particular mission after getting the fake ending, and I believe 3 others are unlocked at the same time as that one. You could have as many as 5 or more missions that you still haven't played yet. So 8 or more open missions you haven't played yet...and you just finished a gaming marathon of a game that shows you it's absolute worst, up until the end....There is no marking or sign that there is anything special about that mission, or that it is in any way important or different than other side missions. The whole "oh he's never going to live this down!" thing is just preposterous. It was a shitty game and Matt missed out on the moderately less shitty true ending, and a couple missions, and experiencing truly superfluous unlockable characters.
EDIT: I'll add that it might even be lower...The game is more fun at the end because Sonic is no longer a tremendous blue chore to control, but it isn't until the last few areas that Sega displays just how clueless they are when it comes to fun, fluent level design. You don't make a game fun, and difficult, by building levels that force the player to fight with the controls in order not to die.

wish there were some modern boxing menace tyson equivalent they could put at the end. it's easy to forget how unbeatable mike tyson seemed at the time the first game was released; he was as scary and powerful as any other video game villain, and the perfect cartoony character to cap off an entire cast of them.

But imagine knocking Hippo and at the count of 9 he gets up an says.
"Ha, ha, ha... You thought you get me, eh?!"
That would be a new twist and a tribute for the fans and would be awesome.

The only thing the could add that rivals Tyson is Rocky. Yeah, he is not a real boxer, but we all know him, his awesome, he would be an awesome Punch-Out!! character, the saga is a tribute to his movies and the contract would not expire if he was in bad shape. It would also have sense as the last fight is a dream fight.
Imagine a caricature of Rocky shouting "Adrian!" at the protrait scene. Or giving the thaks to Mac at the end of the match (and thats something we know rocky wourld do).
It would be excellent.
YES! :lol

Or he eats several large pigs. Then rolls onto his stomach. Then propels himself to his feet with a powerful stream of vomit.
That would be awful. Don't do that Next Level. What you should do is allow us to play as all the characters, and fight any other character in multiplayer.
Oh, and light RPG elements.

proper english would only complicate this post. the point rings crystal clear:
punch-out!! rules.
EatChildren said:
I thought someone said multiplayer was going to be little mac fighting against another little mac? Which, after having my idea in my head....seems like a severe disapointment...We'll see how it works. Won't it just be like Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots or something? Who knows, could be cool.
I would much rather get to play as opponents against other opponents. Ideally we could choose an opponent of little mac and go through the circuits with them. Upgrade punches, stamina, speed...learn a few new moves throughout the course of all the circuits...I really want to make glass joe into a champ.
The mode should only be unlocked after totally beating the game. Then a maxed out little mac takes the place of tyson for the dream bout.
EDIT: Anybody else wondering, or wanting to make a clone of the NES game, but retrofitted for two players where you can use any character? Don't make any changes to the moves or abilities...just to see how it works. Obviously Tyson would kick everyone's ass....except little mac in the hands of a pro, of course...simply because he doesn't have any tells.
Man.. game looks great, art, animation, humor, everything.............. EXCEPT!!! the knockout animations and sounds.. One of the things i loved MOST about Punchout were the over-the-top exaggerated knockdowns where the character would get scrunched up and slide from side to side to side with the ridiculous "WEEEUUUuuuuuwweeeEEEeeuuuuuu" sound effects... it was awesome and cracked me up everytime..

The cinematic knockout is cool.. but I miss the old hotness.
in the First punchOut wasn't Mario the referee?

I think the cinematic knock-out was just for the trailer.
Aside from TKOs, that would get annoying every single time you knocked down an opponent.

I totally agree! The sounds of Punch-Out!! are indelibly etched into my memory, and I would love to see them make their glorious return on Wii--or at least in some capacity. The only knock-outs we have seen, though, have been part of a trailer for the game, leading me to wonder as to whether or not these are just cinematized for show.
Or maybe Nintendo--rather, NLG--will include a "retro" option by which players can play the game with classic controls (sideways Wiimote) and classic sound effects.

Someone should start a thread for 'Reviews That Fuck Up' and list the ones where they obviously missed something about the game or simply had no clue what the hell they were talking about. Yes, lots of subjectivity - but I'm primarily thinking of reviews like this. Hell, if GAF folks heard about the fake ending, shouldn't game journalists have known something about it?

I think:
1. Is only for the TKO's
or
2. Is only for the trailer.
And when he hits Von kaiser with out an special move, the character doesnt fly, maybe if the video continues he will do the walking backwards until he falls thingy.
BTW. There are 3 kinds of special, 1 star, 2 star, 3 stars. The one to Disco Kid is 3 stars and seems ultra powerfull.
