Weekly Game Review: Punch-Out!!

[Cheez]

"There's more strategy involved in the fights now too. Not only can you dodge from left to right, but you can also duck, and all of these things come into play depending on who you are fighting."

...wow, what cave did you crawl out of to forget that every single punch out except for the first arcade punch out had a ducking feature? You probably should have said that many fights absolutely require you to dodge in certain ways instead.

I'm still of the firm belief that they screwed up the timing of everything from the first two games people are actually familiar with. I'd know, because I jumped into this with the same basic strategies and that didn't work anymore. They also made a bunch of those instant knockdowns harder to get when they made that transition to 3D. I'm not sure I approve of that. I mean, look at it this way. If the game can give punch out veterans a hard time, think of the trouble it's going to give the current wii target audience.
