Punch Out (Wii) Impressions

[Heelfan71]

I think it's in stores tomorrow but wondering if anyone has played it.

I want to see what you guys say here before I buy it...

I will be picking it up today, could not find it yesterday. I still play the Punch Out games on the VC and the reviews make the new iteration sound great.

I'll be picking this up after work today. I'll post some impressions a bit later on when I get a chance.

Bought it....awesome game.

It is pretty simple...if you enjoy the previous Punchouts, you will love this. If you didn't, this shouldn't change your mind. They combined the best of both games and created this one. I prefer the special punch system of SPO to PO (which is the version the Wii used), but that is apples and oranges...not a big deal at all.

All the reviews at 80 and 90% are spot on.

My only complaints are lack of online (for scores, ko's, etc...) and there should have been more fighters. There is no excuse to not have every fighter from PO and SPO in the game.

Regardless, great game. I only used the Remote and will only use that.

For $40 and for PO lovers, this is a no brainer.

This game has reminded how dull my game reflexes have become. Also my pattern recognition has slightly declined to old age or our education system, lol. This game is excellent and the nostaglia value is high. It is one of those games that you will constantly play to beat your times.

I got owned by Tiger Singh and freaking Don Flamenco.

You think that's bad? Glass freakin' Joe knocked me down in my very first fight! I was trying to figure out how the hell to do the Star Punch and in the midst of all that, he caught me with one too many punches to the face and I went down. After that, I said "Screw the damn star punch, this French bastard is going down!". Knocked him out with :10 seconds left in the 1st round.
