I never liked Punch out because I always thought it wasnt really boxing. Its more like an on rails fighting game. Or Dragons Lair. I want to free flow and move how I want in a boxing game. Not a preprogrammed right or wrong timed response thing. This game is very bizzare. It's from a time when Fight Night wasnt possible. But Fight Night was what I actually wanted a boxing game to be . As a fighting game, PO is extremely gimped. But forget Fight Night, when Ring King and World Champ came out for the NES, they instantly made Punch Out an obsolete boxing game.
Side note; how come PowerPunch2 is never mentioned anymore? Even that was more fun than PO.
I play creatively in the survival mode to keep things interesting, New tough monsters arent really a good thing for me. In fact it kinda sucks the way I play this game.
@JasmineDragon
First off, it seems they and others feel they cant be creative within limited parameters. (like no new characters) In my last post on this topic I said I wanted a Thwomp and Chainchomp game. So I just feel new and fresh can be achieved with a bit of creativity and was trying to give some crazy examples of stuff Id actually like to see that I never saw that they could still do within their parameters if they simply remove the creative block.
However, ya know, Im not sure if Luigi didnt lick a toad or something already. In Mario and Luigi Dream , Luigi's dreams were more of a psychedelic trip than a dream.
And I wouldnt ever kill off the real Toad, he's my favorite.
Let Toad shoot his spores on everything have them all become tiny toads, then he sheds his mycodermis and becomes an actual toad that accidentally infects the tinytoads with warts!!! Then Luigi licks Toad and has a trip out that cures him and so the toads licks themselves for a psychedelic cure .And Toad dies.
So the Switch can't play modern games. I like retro better anyway. Why make remakes of old games or ports of old existing stuff ? Just make New old games. I want Nintendo to get into making follow ups to old games done in the old style. i.e. a new GBA style Kirby or River King. But more complex .
Maybe they can do this on the SwitchU.
No need for new characters to be creative. How bout, Paper Mario- Chainchomp and Thwomp Get Revenge. And play as those two. Maybe fun to slaughter some toads.
Or Angry Sun and Pokey,(the cactus guy in SM3) in paper underwater world.
Or each level play as a different sub character. Mario cant make it this time or something.
I dont have many N64 games. I just collected all the N64 wrestling games and quit..
The actual 3 greatest wrestlers of all time were
Ox Baker
Abdulla the Butcher
King Kong Bruiser Brody
then Dick the Bruiser and Andre the Giant
and Harley Race and Flair and Gorgeous George
with a nod to Terry Gordy, King Kong Bundy
Early Vince era-
you pick. Mine are Machoman, George the Animal Steel and Ultimate Warrior, Iron Shiek, Hacksaw
Modern era-
I dont watch enough. Kenny Omega? Abdulla the Butcher would make these guys BLEED!
I like WOW nowdays.
But if I ever went to this collectors house that spent that much and they wanted to show this off to me with a beaming smile of pride I would laugh at them and make them feel as stupid as I possibly could.
I dont ever want to watch that again! I just want to get the quick recap and highlights the next day without the rest of the BS cheese. I learned my lesson.
A modern River King would be cool.
So would Archon, and M.U.L.E.
In the spirit of this article I always thought Arch Rivals could use some modern polish. Also what about a realistic Lunar Pool? Klashball needs some better controls to be great.
How bout Pinball Quest? Something always held it back from being amazing.
Valis, Ultraman, Dirty Harry, .
@Doktor-Mandrake
Yeah, I guess I could see someone elses solution and then solve the problem but if it's a problem solving game I'd rather not have someone do the thinking for me. Basically I don't wanna be the child handing the controller over to someone else to get through the hard parts.
@ThanosReXXX
Well yeah exactly. In fact, instead of bitching about it I think it's kind of fun. It's part of the experience of going retro.
@TG16_IS_BAE
The kids will never understand the struggle unless you make it real for them. If they cringe at the thought that they might have to search the house for a pencil and paper then they might not be ready for Ultracore. Sure, go on, take a pic on your phone if you cant handle it.
The game is average. I can easily name about 5 racers on the N64 I like better. But it is fun mostly. I probably could see it as a 7 but then again, I agree, the reviewer had no choice. The mere presence of Jar Jar makes it a 6.
Question:
Can I put the circuit board from the original into this non working metal looking N64 case and play it? Does it even open? Is it just silver plastic?
I stopped using Limited Run after the first game I got from them. I got River City Girls and realized afterwards it will be worth bucks unopened in the future so I shouldn't open it. So I never played it and that sucks. I collect to play but it appears that would be stupid. So no more LRG for me.
How are wallpapers even a thing to give out as rewards? Anyone can turn any image into a wallpaper. They may as well just not bother giving out these crumbs. It's kind of insulting really, and wastes every ones time.
Also it's not that great an image either. Nothing I'd want.
The price should be $19.99. Tops. And even then I'd wait for a sale. I'd only want the Gaplus NES port anyhow because I dont have the ROM unfortunately..
@KingMike
That's cool you did that. I'd like to see it.
@Ralziel
Nuclear Throne is probably my favorite too but its PS4 isnt it?.
And try Feral Fury and Cryptark.
Id alsol add 2 rogue shooters Anger Force and Sky Force
The most fun for me were Dead Cells, Rogue Aces(so fun), Streets of Rogue, Slay the Spire, Downwell, Everspace, Galak Z, and Binary Stars(so cool). I think Unexplored kinda sucks, thought Binding of Issac was over rated, and Bad North hit a wall. But Tumbleseed is the one I have the hardest time with yet I like it. Got Gonner cheap and its really fun. Also like Black Paradox
@JayJ
Yeah, it's like I can play platformers, shooters, puzzlers etc. that look similar and never get enough but this genre needs deviation or a unique hook or it gets boring quick.
@arnoldlayne83
I ordered Super Robot Wars on PS4 from play asia. It's localized.
It's also one of my favorite games now. This game is a very poor mans Super Robot Wars. And also an inferior looking Wargroove
