A full transcript of the UK's first review of Punch Out!! by Official Nintendo Magazine has been posted up on the High Def Geek website...
"In fact, it seemed to us that anyone who'd played the SNES and NES games would have no problem breezing through the 13 opponents, all of whom (with the exception of Disco Kid) featured in previous instalments of the series. And as we got to the thirteenth and final opponent after only an hour and a half, we feared this would be the case.
We were worried. Sure, anyone who hasn't played Punch out!! on the NES or its SNES sequel would indeed take a lot longer than a couple of hours to play through the game, and they'd probably get a lot more enjoyment learning how to defeat each opponent. But nobody's been looking forward to this game more than Punch Out!!'s long time fans, and as we finally disposed of our 13th foe, we couldn't help but feel let down by how easy it all was. We had this review all planned out in our head: "great for newcomers, but far, far too easy for Punch Out!! fans. 70%" And that's when things got interesting...."

The Punished Backlog's David Silbert writes:
"Nintendo is widely known for its deep, eclectic well of beloved franchises. From The Legend of Zelda to Wrecking Crew, there’s no library in gaming as rich in history or as popular among fans.
2019 is shaping up to be a banner year for Nintendo, with representatives from Mario, Fire Emblem, Zelda, and Pokémon all gracing the Switch platform before the year’s end. At the same time, there are still plenty of Nintendo franchises that lie dormant this generation, in desperate need of the “Switch treatment.”
While there are plenty of legendary series worthy of a revival, here are six in particular I would absolutely kill to see on Switch in the near future."
A new Golden Sun and Mother would be great, but I wish I wasn't the only one that wants a new StarTropics.
With E3 2018 on the horizon, many are expecting a lot of surprise announcements. This includes progression on currently announced titles and new reveals. Nintendo has some of the biggest franchises in gaming but some have been put on hiatus. Here are 5 franchises Nintendo should revive.
Kid Icarus on the 3ds needs to be remade in HD, that game was really fun, the controls were a tad awkward and I'd cramp up. It'd benefit from a more comfortable controller. I really enjoyed my time w it. Advance Wars is a no brainer, come on Intelligent systems!
Kid Icarus has the potential to be another Zelda. The very first game came out at the same time Metroid did and had many of the same gameplay elements. I'm sure it could be updated into a Zelda open world format.
fantastic
The ssurprize is probably some sort of stripped down online mode :(
After reading the review my question was: Who wrote this, Nintendo PR bureau? and then I saw the name, Official Nintendo Magazine. Now Labotwarrior there is your 91%.
Worst thing is that game lacks a good multiplayer. Another casual game I suppose.
First time player here, and I downloaded the first Punch Out game for the NES via the Wii's virtual console. Already put about 10 hours into the game, and I still can't get past Bald Bull in one run, lol.
To extend playability, I rarely use passcodes. That's where a lot of the time comes from: Replaying the first few people :P
King Hippo had me completely puzzled. I had no idea how to beat him, lol. But finally I figured out his pattern, and I think he may now be the easiest opponent in the game. I have knocked him down 10 times, and each one, he is down for the count. That's why I think he's the easiest. Knock him down once, you're finished.
Great Tiger is who I get stuck on the most now. His patterns are recognizable, I understand them. But when he does his super uber punch thing, where he goes around in circles, if I lost my footing with my timing with just one of his punches in there, I'm screwed for the rest of it, for some reason. And he pulls those super punches out a LOT more in the last round of the fight. I just don't know how to defeat him before then. That's my problem, ha.
...Don't know exactly why I just posted this whole story about my experience with the original Punch Out, but oh well :P
Back on topic, I can't wait for this Wii one to come out. After playing the NES one finally, this one has shot up to the top of my list of most anticipated Wii games of the year, right next to Sin & Punishment 2 at number one, Klonoa at number two, and Pikmin 3 at number four.
Yay! :D
Well, I was wrong. I thought it was going to suck, but it turned out to be awesome (hope the same thing happens to The Conduit, and Overlord: DL). I have to play it at this point (still wish it had online).
