Oh, I hear you, commenters, warming up your fingers to tell my why your Chrono Triggers and your various Zeldas or your Half-Lives are obviously and infinitely better. Listen. Those are all great. But let me explain you something. I love adventure. I love time travel. I love science fiction. I don't love boxing. I'm not sure I've even seen an entire, real-life boxing match all the way through. But I do love Punch-Out!!. If you put it in front of me right this minute, I'd probably spend the rest of my evening playing it. It would be great.
I'd love it, even with the understanding that virtually every character the lily-white Little Mac fights in the ring is a raging ethnic stereotype (it does get less stereotype-y toward the end, where it's just Mr. Sandman being impossible and Super Macho Man frightening you with his pecs). And some of the worst offenders aren't even in the classic NES game. Let's run them down, shall we?

"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.
Missing the one stereotype thats in each game (if it can be classed as a stereotype)
Mac is basically the 'Great White Hype', something that has cropped up in boxing a few times over the past few decades in regards to racism in boxing.
