What other genres could the Punch-Out characters be a good fit in? A fitness game?

Ninji5353d ago

I assume this sequel will play more like Super Punch-Out.

first one on wii was a sales flop, so why would 2nd be any different...

Look at NPD numbers and you tell me how it was not a flop...

Product5353d ago

It is doing fine for the type of game it is.

Smacktard5353d ago

protip: Wii games don't need to sell 1 million units to be considered a success. If they're considering a sequel already, it's obviously a pretty good sign that the game was a success.

Just because "HURR GAEM SALES =/= 1 MILLION THER4 FAIL" mostly applies to 360 and PS3 retail games, that doesn't mean it applies to Wii games.

Perjoss5353d ago

felt more like an XBLA title to me, not a big rivial of a hugely popular franchise from back in the day.

EvilTwin5353d ago

Sadly, some people think that unless a game sells Halo-type numbers, it isn't a hit.

Wii titles cost less to develop. It's why a game like No More Heroes can sell about 400,000 copies, turn a profit, and get greenlit for a sequel. If I'm not mistaken, PunchOut has sold about the same.

NMH was their best selling title so far. It outsold every PS2 game they made and did it on a much smaller install base.

Well the first one was a great game, so I hope they do bring out another.

IdleLeeSiuLung5353d ago

Which was terrible once the novelty wears off!

Jamescagney5353d ago

Yeah it's much better. And there's a lot of game there for your money as well, once you become the world champion it's not over.

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!

CyberSentinel2192d ago

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

gangsta_red2192d ago

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.

Einhander19712192d ago

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