Games Are Evil Review: Punch-Out Wii

GrE opines: "Few games out there have the ability to send up the nostalgia flag like those found on the original NES. For most this was the first real video game console they had, and the games from that era are held near and dear to their hearts. So when I heard they were making another Punch Out, I was a little less than excited, considering how some "re-makes" turn out. However, the first time I heard that tell tale trumpet fanfare dubbed over a fight between iconic characters like "Glass Joe" and "King Hppo", I knew they were gonna do it, and do it right."

I thought this was a well-written review. Honest, balanced. Good stuff!

Makes me wonder if they would release a remake like this on the DS... I would buy that

I like the caption under the second pic, "A big fat hug?" lol

It is a very unique style of commenting that is making me laugh pretty hard.

The green gloves really make this game. Totally iconic!

So many memories of when I was a kid... God I wish I could boot up my NES again.

its fun while you learn the patterns for each boxer, which sadly does not take long at all. After that it offers no replay value, just feels like a something you'd get as a DLC title on the 360 or ps3, I'm sure many nintendo fans might take that badly but its just my honest opinion.

6 Franchises Nintendo Needs to Resurrect on Switch

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.

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!

1)Earthbound
2)Punch Out!
3)Kid Icarus (2D Metroidvania style)
4)Star Fox

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.

F-zero, Pilotwings, Kid Icarus, Starfox, Luigis Mansion 3 for switch.
