Is one of my favourite series ever. My favourites are Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! and Wii Punch-Out!!
Wii Punch-Out!! would probably come first as the best though. Next level games just too the original and hit the ball out of the park. AND DAT ANIMATION! Best cartoony animation in any game without a doubt, so much charisma in the characters. The characters talking on their own language was a genius stroke. And giving them stroylines that expand with Defend the Title. WOW.
So fucking gooooood. Next Level Games are the masters of remaster if they accomplish the same with Luigi's Mansion... BUY THEM NINTENDO!
The only thing i dont like much is taking away that special thing Tyson gave to the game, and putting fucking Donkey Kong.
I dont know, the idea is not good. Tyson is impossible to do now, yeah, would have been better something like...
Its a dream fight in the original, so they could have made a little cutscene of Mac watching a Rocky movie on the TV, his hero, and sleep in his couch. So he starts dreaming and turns out that Rocky wants to see in a friendly match why Mac is so good and won the title.
That would bring:
-A cartoony stallone that would be amazing, even if its only someone imitating his voice.
-An amazing remix of the punch-out!! theme with
Going the Distance
-This ending would have blow everyones socks off. Just imagine Rocky losing in round 3 and saying "This kid is good Mike, it reminds me when I was younger!" Holy fuck, chills down my spine.
Super Punch-Out!!, well I dont know, some charisma is lost. Not having a stroyline with a trainer for the Little Mac wannabe is a little bit shitty. And too many fucking clones. Apart from people like Dragon Chan or Hoy Quarlow have to go with their legs and stick out of the ring. I want punch-out!! to be as wacky as it can be, even with guys cheatting like Aran Ryan or Masked Muscle (because they do it while the "referee" is suposedly not looking, and you know they are cheating, so they make good villians), but things like slow special attacks with sticks or kick anyone can see a mile away. Fucking come on!
I also like more the heart gameplay, than the charge your super thing.
Also Nick and Rick bruiser suck as final bosses, no charisma, shitty design, fucking clones.
One thing I do like is the trainers for each boxer, that was good and something I would love to see in a future Punch-Out!! by Next level, but make that you can see the trainer, like for example, Gabby Jay being the first boxer for the next game and having Glass Joe as his trainer, the animation gags and jokes would be sublime.
