Punch-Out!! gets ANOTHER AAA review!

Punch Out!! builds on the strengths of the NES original in some smart, simple ways that, when combined with a stylish, playful presentation, makes for a terrific experience.

Full review here.

Nostalgia is strong with some reviewers. Punch Out is great but man the lack of characters is disturbing... Nintendo could've added a few more...haris12121212

street fighter 4 ?

I'm having trouble believing that Punchout is this good. It had far exceeded my expectations.gamefan67

I have to agree. I'm sure the game is good, but at least I want ALL the past boxers and a few new ones. Maybe there will be a sequel filling the gaps and adding more.

i personnaly hold giantbombs opinion very highly, i look forward to hearing them talk about it on their bombcast tomorrow

I just keep hearing the lack of variety, characters, and modes it has but it gets high reviews... I don't understand!

Well. Now I have to get it. Bread_or_Decide

Same here.

I haven't read a review yet that said 'it's over before you know it' or something to that effect. There seems to be an ample amount of challenge, which is good news.

Good to see Nintendo has yet another Puzzle game that's scoring well.

The game adds to the classic Punchout!! formula. Just so you all know, Punchout!! for WiiWare got a 9.0 here, it would make little sense if this got lower than an 8.

wonder if it will get AAA hereFILIPINOMAZTER

Then again both Giant Bomb's review and X-Play's talk about how hard the game can be. I have seen Gamespot knock off points for that reason.

I've heard this from reviewers, which is why I didn't buy it immediately.

[QUOTE="HarlockJC"] Because you are hearing those issues from flamers. All the so called expects on this board which have not played the game seem to have many issues with it. :P

Here is another AAA review from Wired

You could have just as much fun by buying Punch Out off the virtual console, but there are certainly worse ways to spend fifty bucks.supercubedude64

No. YOU could have just as much fun by buying the Punch Out off the virtual console. I have to believe the experience with the new version is a bit better.

Bu..bu..but this can't be, the Wii sucks, it can't have good games.

Lies.....LIES!!!

My Walmart is sold out of copies! I will have to wait until Saturday to get it :cry: :cry: *Goes to read review in anticipation...*SMR-Venom

Still 39.99 with free shipping at Amazon in the US... You have to wait a bit but you save $10

Wow this is bad, the game is recieving too many 9's. Now fanboys are going to say the game is hyped AAA and try to claim mega ownage when if it scores A for example.

I think im going to make a thread later on about where hype is coming from and its early reviews. Most early reviews always tend to be high which leads fanboys thinking thats what its being hyped.

The review has a massive spoiler.

[spoiler] In the related pages on the side it mentions Donkey Kong. He's the final opponent in the game. [/spoiler]

street fighter 4 ?

It has 25 playable characters, it plays considerably different from the old SFs, there have been many gameplay changes and new elements, it has a wide range of challenge modes, it has online play with various modes.
