What does /v/ think of Punch Out as a series?
take your one punch meme back to /a/
sage
Fun game, the Wii version was great.

Not everything is a meme you know
GOT SUM CHEEZBUGAH'S IN DOS GLOVES HAVE YA MAC?
Solid series, first one was legendary, Mike Tyson is bullshit, sinister1 is a JediBOO
I have played only the SNES version. Pretty good, but in the final levels is mostly about memorize moviments than skill. Nevertheless, it's a good game.
>>334912940
You should see zallard1. He beat the entirety of the SNES punch out blindfolded and got sub a minute on TD Bull in a live run.
Punch-Out!! was best game on the wii. Fight me.
>>334912715
could be better if it was on a console someone owned, or ported to the PC along with the other stolen games nintendo has chained up
>>334914915
Nigga Mario Galaxy exists.
>>334912715
It has good games, but it seems to me that people only realized the series existed after smash
Super Punch Out fucking rules, the other games are not as good at all
>>334915152
Shit, yeah it does. Punch-Out!! was so good though.
Love it. Favorite is still super. I disliked the heart and star system and much preferred the stamina bar.
>>334915049
Just like Bayonetta 2 right? I bet that in a parallel universe Nintendo got their hands on Ape Escape and people would have rather kept it dead out of spite.
>people still discovering hints on the timing for instant knockouts in the NES one
>punch 2nd Bald Ball when a man in the audience nods
>punch 2nd Piston Hondo at a similar cue
>punch 1st Bald Ball when flash photography in the audience goes off
>>334915416
those aren't new cues though, they were just unpublished. I'm not saying I knew them, but people did. You can find people talking about them on fucking BBS in the early 90s

FIGHTIN'S LIKE BREATHIN', MAC
One of the most original gameplay mechanics ever conceived.
>>334915152
Mario Galaxy isn't good in the slightest
Good games, Mac is a cool guy. Wii was a pretty good revival of the series, maybe we'll get a new one for NX?
Shit
Weight classes exist for a reason
>>334916563
he was one of the most fun guys to fight in my opinion. Great Tiger was the true pain to fight
Games are good but feel rather short. It's like Shadow of the Colossus, you know? All you fight are boss enemies. It feels like a full game in your first play through but that's only because you have to learn each boss. Once you start your second play through you whizz through it all and realise there's not a lot there actually.
It's still a fun game and all, it just needs a little staying power.
>>334919006
Some of the best games in 90's were games that you could probably beat in an afternoon if you knew what you were doing.
I mean, Star Fox 64 is probably one of my favorites games of all time but I can clear a route in like an hour or two.
I mean, I'd rather play a game that's short but great the whole way through than a 100 hour game that doesn't get good until about 20 hrs. in.
>>334919512
Oh sure, I know what you mean. I feel like AAA games have forgotten that. They got a whole bunch of content, sure, but... it's not all that fun yanno? I've actually started staying away from them because they all feel rather samey and they cost a lot.
Some games are short but they're concentrated fun and I love'em for it. It's a bit of a pity that they don't have enough content sometimes. Sometimes you just want more, or you want to play but also don't want to do the same thing over again yanno?
>>334919954
Sometimes you want more but you gotta realize, if most short games had more hours tacked onto it to arbitrarily boost its length, it would just feel too long and would become less fun because of it.
I mean, look at what happened to the Simpson's, Family Guy, Spongebob, and any other TV show that obviously went past the point where they should've stopped, they started off as the best shows on their network and then took a huge nosedive after a few seasons to the point where the fans are just begging someone to put it out of its misery.
I mean, if the devs want to expand upon it and they know what they're doing then sure, whatever, but if I only get about 10 hours of gameplay and it's the best gameplay I've ever experienced then y'know what, I'm cool with it.
One of the best series that Nintendo has, but if they were to have made more games than I could imagine it getting very old very quickly
>>334915783
Too bad Canada gives 0 fucks about what people think
Glass Joe is an underdog of underdogs. How his head didn't explode when Mr. Sandman punched his shit in is a testament to how determined he is to win.
>>334922007
>tfw Mike Tyson couldn't beat Joe when he tried playing Punch-Out!!
>tfw Glass Joe's one win is against Mike Tyson
>>334922519
I'd be scared too if I were Glass Joe. Mike could come knocking on his door one of those days and have an unofficial rematch.
The Wii version was absolutely oozing with charm, easily one of the top five exclusives the Wii had.
I'd say that I'd like to see another game on the Wii U but I'm not sure what else they could do with the series.
Gotta love Nintendo. People talk shit but when was the last time they played a Nintendo game? They always put out quality releases. Do yourself a favor, buy a PC and a Wii U and play games the way they're meant to be played.
>>334912715
Great series, although they pretty much perfected it with the first game and there's not a lot else they could do to improve it. The Wii version was great since it was so many years since the last game in the series, but if they released another then it would probably feel a bit stale.
>>334914915
i agree with this
>>334912715
The Wii game was a literal 10/10 punch out game. I want a sequel but it's pretty much the pinnacle of the punch out formula already.
>>334912715
Wii was great and featured a great cast, but it felt that there could be more, there is no shortage of stereotypes so it's not like they would have a design crisis.
>>334923764
>tfw no Luchador opponent with a salsa remixed Punch Out theme
>>334924008
Masked Muscle only really spit in your eye. He's a heel, but it's not like he could grab you. That'd be too blatant cheating.Didn't stop a little Chinese guy from beating you with a stick, though.
>>334924683
rules don't exist in punch out. otherwise Aran Ryan wouldn't have been able to use a boxing glove as a flail
>>334924683
>Didn't stop a little Chinese guy from beating you with a stick, though.
When did that happen?
>>334912940
>Tfw you learned of the instant KO moment
Feels good
>>334925063
At least he's still using the glove as the weapon. Aran Ryan's supposed to be a cheater so it kind of makes sense. If they used Super Punch-Out rules he would have straight up whipped out a crowbar and used that for the rest of the match.
>>334923764
Knowing NoA they will probably take a hatchet to a new one.
Does the Star/K.O Punch feel as satisfying in Wii Punch Out as it does in Smash? Or is it even better?
>>334925258
well yeah you could say he used some sort of a loophole but what about King Hippo's manhole cover? Glass Joe had a doctor's note or something for his headgear at least,whats the King's excuse?
>>334925430
it feels good to land a three star punch but what you really want to go for are the instant KO moments. those surpass everything in satisfaction
>>334925430
I felt like the mechanic should have been different. Like for each successive counter, he gets a star and once he has 3, it becomes a full knockout punch but if you use 1 or 2 stars, it's just a high knock-back punch similar to Cloud's Finishing Touch
![king_hippo_by_nickbachman[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/R631MjY.jpg "king_hippo_by_nickbachman[1].jpg")
>>334925535
If you were the ref, would you try to tell King Hippo he's not allowed to do something?
>>334925153
There was also a Bruce Lee motherfucker that did Bicycle Kicks off the ropes
>>334912715
It's pretty great but the series feels limiting. I don't know where they proceed from here since there's only so much you can do with the base mechanics.
>>334926020add RPG mechanics
>>334925886
Never played that Punch Outor any unfortunately. Looks funny but I'm happy they went back to black haired Mac than use blonde Mac.
By the sounds of it I'm better off getting the Wii version over the NES version.
>>334925865
I'm sure he is a completely reasonable fellow.
>>334926087
Yeah. The Wii Version is fantastic.
>>334926071
Different workout with various effects would've been cool.
How would you guys feel about a punch outMovie?

Hajime no Ippo 2014 is a superior boxing game.
I want beautiful or cute female boxers doing boxing things.
>>334925430
I'd say 3 star punch ends up being more satisfying because of the amount of shit each of the later opponents gives you. a really difficult opponent in Smash is gonna leave after two or three matches, but a really difficult Punch Out opponent is gonna keep going until you win so you end up getting more frustrated at them making the payoff of a 3 star all that much more satisfying
Nintendo should do another one.
>>334926403
LETS SETTLE THIS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey4ngnwtpSw
>>334926698
No.
After what they did to Paper Mario and Metroid, I'd rather Punch Out be dead than ruined.
>>334926639
Also if you're a shitter like me chances are you'll almost never be able to built up to three stars. So it's even rarer to pull of a 3 star KO.
>>334926947
Ippo really doesn't stand a chance against Little Mac.
>>334927442
I never made it past the trap Jap. Screw that guy. How the heck do you deal with that hair?
Were there any neat techniques you guys figured out? For Aran Ryan on the SNES, if you use the rapid jab special in between his two piston rushes, you can repeatedly hit his face before he hits you to the point that he'll start wobbling. Give him a hook or uppercut after that to send him to the floor.
>>334927515
My god does this actually sum up the manga? Sounds awful
>assistant scream at coach to throw the fucking towel after seeing hippo's brain dripping from his ear
>mfw
>>334912715
The Wii entry is unholy with how good it is. Counter options for most attacks, Star Punches hidden in the right moments, mode changes that trigger through the match, and the bouts becoming truly challenging with the opponents using new techniques in Title Defense. It's the best game on the console. It always surprised me that Nintendo fanboys kept trying to shill Conduit or Xenoblade when Punch-Out was one of the best games in the series and the 7th Generation.
>>334915049
Nigga punch out has only been released on successful nintendo systems. NES, SNES, and Wii.
>>334927515
>Mac's coach was a better coach to him than Ippo's was in an entire series
Good ol Coach.
>>334926947
One Minute Melee I always liked more than their death battle series. Mainly the massive amount of butthurt they cause and complaints when the point is they don't do much research and ignore universe rules.
>mfw all those people complaining about that Dio vs Sakuya fight
>>334928534
Which is saying a lot considering Doc says some pretty useless stuff.
>>334928672
Funny thing is, I think One Minute Melee is considered better because most fights don't end in someone dying and is just for fun. Ironically that tends to make for (mostly) more accurate and better fights. Like Bowser vs Eggman.
>>334928703
Doc at least acted like a coach and father figure. Ippo's coach sounds like he's a bit of a twit watching Ippo essentially get murdered.
>>334923398
>tfw the ref does that little fakeout in his decision
The last character you played as just punched the chocolate bar out of Doc Louis' hand and now he's PISSED. How fucked are they?
>>334928135
Because Punch-Out at it's core is just a simple pattern recognition/twitch speed game. It's essentially a mini game. Granted, it's the absolute best version of that particular minigame, done up with extreme amounts of polish, but still just a mini game at the end. If you don't like simple minigames, you can't really like Punch Out.
The other games mentioned are more substantial.
>>334929067
>tfw missed out on the Club Nintendo award for this fight and now I have to mod my wii and pirate it if I want to fight Doc, since there's no DLC or stand alone purchase option.
Fucking nintendo club bullshit.
