Oh god I love the ending.

Man Little Mac got wailed on by a Giant Monkey. I find that funny. The ending was perfect for the character.

How long before someone claims this is a racist immitation of Mike Tyson as the games final boss? and is serious about it

I posted some pics of the NWS tourney in the Staff Blog thread on that topic, so here i'm going to post the more random shots i took from that same trip:

Giant DSi on the outside of NWS. Cute!

Know how hard it is to see all this stuff and NOT buy it? Not that I didn't buy anything at all...

Sadly this ISN'T what i bought

Once i left NWS, my girlfriend and I went to some street fair we noticed on the way TO the NWS. There were alot of the same types of tents selling thigns like sunglasses, clothes, jewelry, etc. But this one had something completely different..

Recycled Metal Art! How cool are these!?

Oh and it wouldn't be a day in Manhattan without seeing some weirdos

I wish i had a better shot, he had batman logo's all over his front side, and he was muttering something as he walked his bike down the street.. odd.

Made me think of Okami and how i really need to play that game again.. or rather, start playing it again.

This one was right at the end of our trip, right outside the steps to the subway station. I thought it was cute.

Sorry gotta catch this train

This one looks like Gort to me..

This is back in my home town, where if you look closely enough you can see this cop texting on his phone WHILE DRIVING.

Ian I have a few questions for you.Do you have a balance board?
Are you going to start out NES style and not try out the other control setups?

Having the balance board would require me to buy Wii Fit so no, I don't have one. I will likely start out NES style but will try out the other control options.

Seriously it is sad when a game is getting praised like crazy and Nintendo is lazy now because they stuck closer to the formula that MORE people seem to love, including myself.

If Nintendo just sticks close to formulas that people love then we would just get Mega Man style cookie cutter sequels. The Lost Levels would be the norm for Nintendo sequels instead of the exception. Nintendo has traditionally been the company that raises the bar with their sequels. They're the guys that either stuff each sequel with tons of new content or try some different things out and change things around while still retaining the basic feel of the series. Only one new character and gameplay practically lifted from the NES game? That is lazy. Any moderately competent dev with a decent budget and realistic release deadline can do that. With Nintendo I expect more. That's what makes Nintendo sequels special.

If it was just More Super Punch-Out with 3D graphics and optional waggle I would also be disappointed even though that's the style I prefer. It should have a good mix of familiar and new characters and should change things around a bit. Like how the other two console Punch-Outs are similar but different from each other so too should this game be similar but different from them.

Wasn't able to find the game today. I guess Canada is getting it a few days later like normal. I should expect it yet it bums me out every time because then I'm always behind and any discussion about the game is full of spoilers from people who have had a good couple extra days to get further.

Ian I want you to make a video of you playing with motion controls and upload it on your youtube account.

Ian I think I saw a release date of the 20th for Canada.

Also Ian this whole topic is a big spoiler.

Yeah it is quite ridiculous... although I guess this explains why he uses a boxing glove as a bat in Mario Super Sluggers. He was fine-tuning his punches in preparation for this.

*facepalm* It's Victoria day. Everyone is closed, so it's most likely that you will be able to get the game tomorrow.

Well when I get home tonight I'll finally get to play it. I can't wait, it sounds like the best game for Wii in quite awhile (not to mention one of the best games period in 2009). Sounds like a fantastic successor to Punch-Out!! with both old and new. CANNOT WAIT!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #337 on:** May 19, 2009, 05:00:41 PM »

What exactly happens when you "cannot wait"? Do you fly off the handle? Get the game and start playing it earlier than you planned?

Yes I will fly off the handle and anyone in my way will encounter something quite unfortunate for them.

D_Average · « **Reply #339 on:** May 19, 2009, 05:24:28 PM »

I can't wait either, picking it up tonight! Hopefully I'll play it for at least a decade like the last two....

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #340 on:** May 19, 2009, 05:29:10 PM »

I almost bought this today, but I bought EA Active instead. Belated Mothers Day present and all...

I have to go back and play some more of the NES Punch Out, but when (if) i beat it, i probably won't go back to it.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #342 on:** May 19, 2009, 05:39:00 PM »

I just grabbed the game a little while ago. I'll post impressions tonight.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #343 on:** May 19, 2009, 07:07:33 PM »

Sadly some more important things showed up and I had to cancel my Punch-Out!! pre order at the last minute

Quick, some staffer should send Pap64 their review copy so he can experience the awesomity he has craved for so long now.

...That's my way of asking if any staffer has received a review copy and are in the process of reviewing it.

D_Average · « **Reply #345 on:** May 19, 2009, 08:16:39 PM »

Bout to power up the game right NOW!!!

Rize · « **Reply #346 on:** May 19, 2009, 09:01:15 PM »

well, turns out that this isn't "my first punch out" after all. it's pretty durn hard actually.

Yeah it is Rize. Depnding on what type of controls you have it can be fairly challenging to really hard.

I played with the Balance board and that control setup is the hardest. I tried Wiimote/Nunchuck and that is a bit easier than the balance board but still challenging. I would imagine that the NES controls is the easiest. This game is great. The Music is great. The different fighters pose a nice change of pace each fight.I recommend this title to everyone.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #348 on:** May 20, 2009, 04:21:33 AM »

I managed to get to Great Tiger and wow does he scare me. I thought I'd do fine with him since I can EASILY get by him in Punch-Out!! but he plays with my mind so much! To anyone that thinks this game was going to be easy, think again, I can't imagine what the Title Defense mode is like! If you like Punch-Out!! you will love this game, so much personality, high production values, challenging, great sound (I love how they mix in the classic sound effects), and above all else it is a blast to play. So far I think it is the BEST, yes the BEST, Punch-Out!! game.

Next-Level and Nintendo should be proud with the final product, and with the somewhat lackluster reception the new Bionic Commando game is getting, it seems to reinforce Nintendo's stance on keeping the game, in gameplay mechanics, as close to the original as possible while still creating a great title for a new generation.

Dasmos · « **Reply #349 on:** May 20, 2009, 05:59:48 AM »

I bet Super Punch Out!! is still the best, but this'll be better than the forever overrated Mike Tyson's Garbage Time!! This still needs to get a Aussie release date, I can't be bothered importing.
