RetroActive 43: Super Punch-Out!! Episode 600 Live Show
Crimm:
Hey ya'll! Get crackin' faces, it's time for the next RetroActive. The name of the game is Super Punch-Out!! but we'll take commentary on the series as a whole. So grab your gloves, break some glass jaws, and give us your thoughts. We'll be doing the RetroActive as part of the Episode 600 live show but we'd love some commentary here in the lead-up.

I'm not really that big of a punch-out fan, but eh. I got a SNES classic, I can give this nonsense a try at some point. also I really gotta start listening to RFN again. I fell off hardcore.

Punch Out Wii feels like the kind of midrange game that would never be made today. I think the development team behind it knew that as well. It feels like they went all out to make the best punch out game possible because they knew it would be the series's last hurrah.
CDavis7M:
I've got Arcade Punch Out on Switch, and the The NES and SNES versions on the Classic Editions (these are also on 3DS). And I even have 7 rounds of Punch Out Remix on NES Remix (3DS).
I warmed up with the NES Remix challenges. I really feel like the Remixes are the best way to be introduced to so many NES games. I had a taste of the skill and strategy of Punch Out with none of the frustration and Endurance required to play the real game.
UPDATE: I'm happy I played the tutorialozed Remix challenges first because the SNES manual is full of helpful advice (on page 11):
* Try to minimize the damage you receive
* Do not be careless
* You should be paying attention
* Fight with purpose
I made it through the Minor circuit without much trouble. But the Major Circuit is pretty challenging. I'm playing with save-states between matches so that I don't have to restart.
I enjoy simple games like Punch Out. The 3DS had some great games with simple gameplay too. But these types of games seem to be getting lost now with Switch.
