A new Punch-Out! is coming to the Wii in 2009

[Phoenix Gamma]

....that's why I said he wasn't shown anywhere else. No other videos or sites show him in the new Punch Out.

i meant the one you posted with the european trailer
by the way complete roster i think it looks like only disco kid is new and there are only 13 boxers

Spoilers!

Minor Circuit: - Glass Joe - Von Kaiser - Disco Kid - King Hippo Major Circuit: - Piston Hondo - Bear Hugger - Great Tiger - Don Flamenco World Circuit: - Aran Ryan - Soda Popinski - Bald Bull - Super Macho Man Championship Bout: - Mr. Sandman

also why did they changed piston honda to piston hondo? seriously wtf

[Phoenix Gamma]

...that's why I said the trailer had a new fighter....I don't see what you're getting at here.

Also, if that Championship Bout thing is legit, fuck that noise. The rest are cool and all, but that dude was an ugly motherfucker and totally not worthy of being Champion of the world.

Also, word of mouth says Honda became Hondo because of Honda the car company. Having the name "Piston" and a Japanese heritage doesn't help either.

EDIT: Gametrailers put up a review showing a lot of characters. Bald Bull and Soda Popinski look crazy.

Who's that guy at 3:31? That can't be Sandman, can it? They look nothing alike, but it's the only one left on the list. But then the review says there's one other character they just won't show. I'm really curious now. But deep down, I really want Tyson to show up out of the fucking blue. It'll never happen, but how awesome would that be?

[Phoenix Gamma]

You guys will never guess who the super secret fight is against.

Spoilers!

Donkey Kong

[darkvare]

yo gotta be fucking joking

[Sam]

HAHA That is awesome.

[Phoenix Gamma]

I love how he takes up so much of the screen.

Way better than Mr. Dream.

So is this due out tomorrow or Tuesday? Amazon said it was tomorrow but I thought most new games come out on Tuesdays.

[Phoenix Gamma]

It ships tomorrow, so when you get it depends on if you're getting it at a store, when the store gets it, etc. Nintendo says it's tomorrow, so expect it in stores on Tuesday morning.

If you've reserved it, the store will usually call the night before you can buy it. I got mine at Target because they're giving out posters and $5 gift cards with reservations. Since this is their first time offering reserves, I have no idea if they'll call, but we'll see.

The official North American release was today.

I so need to get this game.

AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Don Flamenco is the Major Circuit CHAMPION? What the fuck?

[Phoenix Gamma]

You fought him twice in the first game. It's not like he was horrible.

Because looks are SO everything in boxing

[Phoenix Gamma]

See: Super Macho Man. Never beat him in the NES game,but I just beat him now in the Wii one.

Game's awesome. Some fights are a lot harder, while some are a lot easier. I couldn't knock down Aran Ryan more than twice, so I won by decision. Great Tiger is way harder, too. Meanwhile, I beat Soda Popinski on my first try :D

Exhibition is fucking badass. Don't know how I'm gonna do some of these challenges, though; apparently there's a sweet spot on Joe that lets you OHKO him. Hondo's got two.

This game is great, I'm glad I bought it.

[MarioRPG]

That fight was so one-sided, I'm going to eat my chocolate bar sideways.

hahha, what

[Phoenix Gamma]

I was bleeding pretty bad. Between rounds, Doc gave me encouraging advice.

"Hey, you didn't happen to eat my chocolate bars, did you?"

Stupid piece of shit. Gimmie back my bike.

[Nick]

That's almost as bad as him asking my what my favorite flavor of protein drink is.


His is chocolate.

[Phoenix Gamma]

what a coincidence!

Chocolate is also his favorite flower!

[Muscle_Bomber_Uno]

Am I the only one who sees something potentially racist with Doc and his Chocolate?

[Phoenix Gamma]

Punch Out? Racial Stereotypes?

Nah.

The best line was that he claimed "After this, I'm going to take a ride on your bike."

[Nick]

They turned Mr. Sandman into Mike Tyson.

[Phoenix Gamma]

Yea. Kinda lame, but I loved all those fist marks I left on his stupid stomach.

Stuck on TD Bald Bull. Dude's got some tricky timing.

[Mockery]

Any tips for fighting Great Tiger? I've only played one session of the game so far (been busy most o' the week), and I made it to him. I was expecting his classic spinning tiger punch attack since fighting King Hippo was so similar to the original version, but Great Tiger is much harder than before. So yeah... tips?

[Phoenix Gamma]

Yea,the dude walloped me the first few times too.

Not sure what to say other than to really focus on the flashing jewel or when he flashes red, since dodging when they flash red guarantees that you won't get hit (though some punches require you to duck or dodge a certain direction).

If you hit him when the jewel is flashing yellow, just before he attacks, you can get a star. The same works if you hit him when he flashes red just before an uppercut. He's also got a tricky instant knockdown weakness if you properly time a body blow as he comes at you during his Tiger Rush (meaning you can get a TKO in three punches if you've got the timing of a god).
