The commercial is pretty sweet.

Yeah great ad.

So awesome. The Yo-yo line is brilliant. Plus that's the guy from the Wire who says, "sheeeeeeeiiit" all the time so it's even better.

Haha finally got my wii working to play this game.
First Punch-Out experience and so far I am enjoying it greatly.

Just beat Disco Kid, who from what I understand is the only new character to people who played the franchise, but he is so over the top. Beat him with a star punch and he did a twirl into like all four corners before falling.

So it seems like my sensor bar only works during certain times of the day, but got a wireless replacement.

Anyhow, Super Macho Man's three punch combo was a pain in the ass. But little Mac just laid him down!

~Edit~
So the Dream Fight is kicking my ass at the moment so took a break to try out exhibition mode, which serves two purposes.

-If you are still going through Career mode, you can practice against your current opponent to improve your timing and technique.
-If you already defeated an oppn, you can go back and face them in an exhibition fight, and each fighter has 3 challenges you can complete during the fight. Some of them crossover so can't finish at the same time, but it does add replay to the game.

Example,
-Defeat King Hippo after knocking off his crown
-Beat Disco Kid with only 6 punches
-Knock Glass Joe down 3 times and make him win by decision.

Stuff like that for each fight.
Pretty cool way to get you to replay the matches.
Also keep track of your scoring.

Re: Punch-Out Wii!
 

So its an one-man thread, but eh what can you do.

So after finishing Contender mode, you become the champion and have to defend your title.
Now all your former oppns have apparently learned a trick or two to help themselves.

Glass Joe now has a delayed Hook which throws me off all the time but more importantly he also has a helmet which makes it much more difficult to land headshots in which forces you to focus on his stomach unless you can take off the helmet (in a very cartoony over the tap manner I may add)

And because this game needs more modes, not only do they have no patterns and moves, but there is a second set of challenges as well. Which means you can fight each person a minimal of 4 times to get everything so far (contender, contender challenges, title bout, title bout challenges) so this game is rather packed.

Good for you, good for you... :p

Nah don't get me wrong, I enjoy reading this. It's just not a game I will get myself.

The game is fantastic and super fun.


Happy, Three Dog?
