Punch-Out!!

It’s that classic boxing game that follows a short guy fighting a bunch of stereotypes of people around the world, and then that french guy with the glass jaw.

What do you guys think of this series?

I played both the Wii version and NES version.
It’s pretty good.

I’ve seen the Wii version. I think it looks better than the NES version, but some may disagree.

I loved the NES version, especially Glass Joe. :laughing:

Glass Joe is the best boxer in the entire series. He’s, like, the pinnacle, the GREATEST of them all, besides Von Kaiser.

Von Kaiser is better than Sliced Bread. No, he’s better than Soda Popinski!

I actually have an NES. So If I ever find Mike Tyson’s Punch out at a good price, I’ll get it.

I own an NES. It’s in good condition, too. I need to actually PLAY the game, since I’ve only seen my dad play the game. He’s good at it, too.

This is like my favorite NES game :P.

I prefer to use his proper name, Vodka Drunkenski :stuck_out_tongue:

Like I said, these guys are all based off of stereotypes. Some of them kinda rude, too. But whatever. It’s fun to see them, as they’re all comical. XD

This game sounds intresting!

Oh yeah, it’s a classic. Not only does it involve timing, it’s also kind of a puzzle game, having to figure out your enemy’s weakness while you have to worry about not getting beat up!

Edited title to add the one extra exclamation point that’s in the game’s official title because I am pedantic -Ghid

No, I didn’t revive the topic just for that. I wanted to talk about my experience with Punch-Out!! for the Wii and see if it was reflected in the experience anyone else has had with the game.

I obtained the game quite some time ago, and I have played through it on multiple occasion. The fights are engaging and fluid, and I’m not someone that memorizes the attack patterns of every boss or uses speedrunning methods to make the fights easier (even though nothing is RNG and all of it is calculable). But every time I get to the Sandman fight, the last fight in the main portion of the game, I never get past it.

To this day I still haven’t played any of the fights that come after the Sandman title match because I am just not that good at the game and I’m not willing to cheese or cheat my way through. Nearly everyone I’ve spoken to irl who both played the game years ago or was playing it at the time I inquired (years ago), every single one of them had surpassed the fight and moved on to the second half of the available content.

I’ve chalked it up to me being egregiously bad at this one game in particular, but I’ve also just stopped talking about the game much at all since I was personally locked out of half of the experience. But what do you all think? Were you able to access the second half of the game? And how bad am I at the game really? :old_man:

I can’t say much because I’ve only played the NES version which basically is torture.

Same as Chronicler, I’ve only ever played the NES version, and it was on the Switch Online’s emulator software. That being said, I’ve seen footage of the fight and I think I’m gonna have to say it’s a you problem. It looks possible with enough time, not sure why it would take you this long.

Also, I’m really disappointed that you didn’t revive a topic just to fix typos.
