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

Ninji6081d 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...

Product6081d ago

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

Smacktard6081d 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.

Perjoss6081d ago

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

EvilTwin6081d 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.

IdleLeeSiuLung6081d ago

Which was terrible once the novelty wears off!

Jamescagney6081d 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.
