It will probably be a parody of Rocky. Little Mac in love?
But I think the cut scenes will probably include interactions with the various fighters, maybe background stories for each one, showing how they made it to the ring.

I was thinking Rocky and Baseball bats. But I think it's just training, interviews with the Mac, getting calls, calling, and maybe even exploring NYC.

I can't wait for the story. Exploring NYC would be great, and so would interviews (F-ZERO TV?!)

So its NES Punch Out with cutscenes? Yawn. There is really nothing to say this is so at this point. So far we have seen absolutely nothing to suggest that this game isn't the same gameplay as Punch Out with purdier graphics. I choose to remain pessimistic about everything until proven otherwise. You can be optimistic that every game will be the be-all-and-end-all, but that means you have nowhere to go but down. And me? Nowhere but up. I win. This game will, at the very best, be a lite-NSMB style New Punch Out with no actual advances to gameplay and some tacked in waggle functionality and evidently a dodgy story. Yippee-ki-yay. |

It's a new Punch-Out title. I'm sold on that alone. Then again, my standards of quality aren't as astronomically high as some other folks on the web.  |

The fact that it's the same with few added stuff makes it a good game. If the game were to be changed, most likely the quality will go down. And you can't compare it to NSMB because NSMB was basically a SMB 4 or 5, This will be the same as the old. |

In Japan, SMW was also known as SMB4. Look at its Japanese boxart:  |

SMW did the same to SMB3. Then, NSMB went all the way back to SMB1. Wii Punch Out looks to be exactly the same. The boxing game genre, and games in general, have come a long way since NES Punch Out. There is no reason to go back to it. |

However, you can't deny that the original punch out was super fun. That's the reason nintendo's bringing it back and making it funner.

I believe DiU's justification is that new graphics and cut scenes thrown in aren't making it any "funner".

Yeah, that is partly it. The other part is that Pong was fun in 1976, too (not that I was born then but whatever), but that doesn't mean I want to go buy a graphically updated version of it. Games evolve. Punch Out should too.

So I'm assuming you are willing to play plasma pong? The thing is, Nintendo can't think of any ways to improve Punch Out. I wouldn't buy pong because it was always boring for me, yet Punch out got me addicted, so you can bet I'll go and get it.

You know, sometimes people complain when a game's formula is changed too much, but now I'm hearing the opposite!
Did anyone complain like this when Super Puch-Out!! came out? That it was, too similar?

Super Punch Out came out 14 years ago, though. The gaming landscape has changed in that time.
If they wanted it to be the same sort of thing, make it WiiWare, maybe even take the Megaman 9 route and use old style graphics (though I'd go with SNES graphics). For a new, probably fully priced game, a 24 year old (the original arcade game came out in 1984, apparently) game doesn't really cut it.

There's this thing called a middle ground. People can reach it if they try hard enough.
