Nintendo DS: Will we get "Punch-Out!!" ? (The original, not NES)

Those of you that remember the arcade version (as I do, I was too young and got beat), remember it used dual screens.

I bet we'll see it for the DS.

For the Trifecta, they could also port the lesser known "Arm Wrestling"

That would be awesome :D I wish they would make a new version for the cube though

STFU Nintendo hater.

kthxbye

I want Punch out or Super punchout or something punchout soon. >_<

That would rock pretty hard. I prefer Super Punchout, but I'd be thrilled to see either one utilize the dual screen.

Arm Wrestling!!! I used to love that game. The Masked Marauder would cheat and try to head butt, the robot would use a magnet....

Wow, it's been two decades!!

Oh come on...

Since when has a Nintendo made handheld system failed?

If there's one thing Nintendo is good at, it's pumping out handhelds like there's no tomorrow and getting the masses to buy them.

At that, even when has a Nintendo console failed?

Virtual Boy is the only example anywhere, even the 'failed' N64 and sort of GCN have made money, and for a business that's good enough.

Gabby Jay...YAY!

I'm hopeful - but I can sort of understand the concern about the DS. I think it will do well in Japan, but the willingness of the American public to adopt it, especially given the looming launch of the PSP, is most certainly not a sure thing.

Something radically different like the DS could easily backfire for Nintendo in the States. I hope that it doesn't, but it's a possibility.

True.

But I was trying to stay within the realms of handhelds (and I don't consider the Virtual Boy to be one.) But even with the addition of semi-successful consoles, none of the recent ones [N64 and GCN] have produced nearly the amount of financial income that any of their handhelds have.

A Nintendo handheld = cashcow

There's no denying that.

Sorry Chimp -- although I personally have very little interest in the DS, I seriously doubt it will be anything short of a success.

I understand what u are saying.

I think mainstream America is definately resistant to change unless its a complete fad that some movie star or pop artist gets into.

Nintendo needs to convince us that there is a 'practical' reason why we need 2 screens. If American gamers do see a practical and useful if not at least novel reason to use 2 screens then the DS should do well.

However I predict the Sony PSP will cater to folks like us that will shell out big bucks for some elite overpriced system. It may cater to other gamers that are dedicated PS users.

Personally, i'm rooting for the DS but the PSP's technology and utility is very much superior. Plus its larger screen is a big big bonus.

Demand for DS reservations forced EB and Gamestop to start taking reservations before they had guaranteed supply numbers. In the case of Gamestop, this entailed making the reservations amount $25 ($15 higher than they would usually cxharge) in order to try and ensure they would not go over their supply.

No one even seems to want to preorder a PSP.

Also, Nintendo projects 3.5 mil DS's sold by the PSP launch, whereas analysts predict given the PSP's price point it can't sell 3 mil.

Somehow, I think the DS can more than fight the PSP.

Those are some interesting figures. I say GOOD for Nintendo. I'm rootin for the DS!

Anything and anyway we can do our part to slow the bohemoth of Sony and help out good old Nintendo.

Pizza Pasta > All.

Seriously, now thats just a BRAINLESS post. Every single one of Nintendo's handheld systems in ALL their forms have done extremely well.

Thats really interesting though, good eye Bobak.

Well all of the Nintendo VS games were two screen werent they?

It would be cool to have ports of all the VS games with link up and stuff.

(or one port with all of them, but you know how nintendo is)

That's good to hear - I hope Nintendo hands their asses to 'em. And I hope that the PSP is riddled with reliability problems :angry: (this shouldn't require too much luck).

Look at the Virtual Boy. One of those ideas that was pretty miserable to begin with, and it WAS supposed to be a "portable" system. It was a complete and total, miserable failure. The DS just sounds like a horrible idea, why put the extra cost into two screens (almost no good applications OTHER THAN RPGs), and what does that make you think about the quality of those two screens, to keep the price down? And what about battery consumption? The whole idea just sounds ridiculous. Seriously, when they announced this, almost everyone's reaction was, WTF?!?! :oh_no:

The ButtAssRetard speaks, more retarded dribble. No big surprise there. :lol: :lol: :lol:

There's no doubt Nintendo always had success on the Handhelds market even with crappy Gameboy's compared with the competion of its time.

However, the first Gameboy gained very much audience due to the popularity of the NES. Mostly everyone was with Nintendo at that time.

Now Nintendo has a HUGE lead on that market, but for the first time they will have serious competition ( me thinks ). Playstations = cash cow for SONY and the popularity of the PSone/PS2 will indeed be the greatest starting point for SONY to try to dominate another market they're in.

I sincerely hope that Nintendo kicks ass again and people frown upon the PSP.

If the DS outclass the PSP by a huge gap, I sincerly doubt nobody else will try to compete on the Handhelds arena anymore.

You're just peeved that there'll never be a Blood Wake game on the DS.

PSP already have some killer apps and the DS?

Just has Nintendo games.........

I don't know. I always hated nintendo and I want them to fail.

but if Punchout comes to DS I might consider it.

Yeah, when they first announced it people were confused. But after E3, a lot of people got excited about it.

I don't understand some peoples hate towards Nintendo. Did Miyamoto fuck your girlfriend or something?

Nintendo isn't any more boring these days than Sony of Microsoft.

Although I don't really see any of them as boring right now. There are PLENTY of good games coming out for every system.

He's just mad that Nintendo wont bend over backwards to do stupid shit they know will sell a million copies, but will be a flaming pile (ie. GTA type games)

OMFG CELDA!?! YOU RUINED YOUR OWN GAME !

The handheld with FF13 exclusive will win. :mad:

lmao.

This is fucking HILL AIR EE YUS.

People faulted Nintendo during the N64's, Gameboy's and now the Gamecube's life cycle of simplying recycling their old franchises with updated graphics. Now Sony announces the PSP, and what games?

Gran Turismo 4.
Ridge Racer (5? Uses same engine)
Wipeout

Ho-hum.

Death Jr. looks like a first-gen PSX game.

At least Nintendo crafted a new device with something DIFFERENT about it. Not to mention Sony has already announced the PSP will be region encoded. I can sure as shit guarantee the DS won't.

Ridiculous.

Never a Handheld was encoded and would rather never be. Stupid SONY cunts always want to be diferent.

The more they try to protect their stuff, the more the will to go on with piracy.

SONY is becoming a joke everyday.

2 screens only applicable on rpgs wtf? after i got to thinking about all the cool shit two screens could do the possibilities seem endless. fuck i hope they sell some sort of antenna thing so you can play gameboy on one screen and watch tv on the other how fucking cool!?

as long as ds is backward compatible with all gb games it will sell like a freight train. i heard it might not have a backward compatible link port though, so you cant multiplay with other gameboys thats not ds. maybe it will be added b4 launch though.

and fuck sony.

lesser known around the net, but it was a fixture at the Flint Arcade "Tilt" back in the early 90s. I don't think the game was ever vacant for the first 2 years that place was open

Wow everyone bashing the DS in this thread is a fucking idiot, can you not read the title of the thread?. When I see a thread for example, titled: "MACs and why they rule" I dont even bother going in there knowing I hate them, whats the point? lame. Besides the PSP fanboys and anti-nintendo people have been doomed and owned from the start of their bitching, just give up.

There are a number of reasons I don't care for Nintendo. Foremost is the worthless POS GBA and GBA/SP systems. The GBA is a cheesy, dim-screened POS with a crappy finger-killing dpad. I bought one early on and gave it a chance, had 15 games for it but finally gave up and dumped the whole lot, when I realized how bad it was. Mind you, the GAMES weren't bad at all, even though many were 16-bit ports (plenty of games that I loved back in the Genesis and SNES days). But the SYSTEM is JUNK. And the SP? First, why didn't they come out with it TO BEGIN WITH, instead of releasing the crappy first version and then forcing people to BUY A (slightly) BETTER version? RIPOFF. Second, IT ISN'T THAT GREAT. The screen looks totally washed out, the dpad still SUCKS, the system feels small and cheap, and it has NO HEADPHONE JACK?!?! RIPOFF.

That is the main reason I feel Nintendo is just out to fleece money from people. They put out the cheapest junk they could to make money, and it SHOWS. The GC isn't a whole lot better, so far I haven't seen any games worth bothering with.

Actually, technically, its only a bit more than you can say for the GBA. You said two posts ago that the games for the GBA "weren't bad at all".

So, are you going to fanboy jizm dance your way out of that one? Shitbrain.

:eek:

A new Punch-Out in ANY form, on GBA, DS, or as a big vinyl sticker for the back of mi asshole, is long overdue. That's quite a cool point Bobak made about the DS being a natural for the arcade versions of these games.

In other news, water's wet, the desert is hot, and chimp is still a 42-year old man who lives at home and likes to soil himself while flaming Nintendo on the web.
Rad.

theres no worse than an xbox fanboy

fuck, its just a 3DO

although I liked the 3DO

MS just BUY companies to get decent games, and use commodity x86 components, maybe if they tried to design/implement a non x86 machine then all the games wouldn't look like shitty/sterile/pc cut down ports.

and dual PowerPC's in the xbox2?

Isn't the BAWKS designed for PC conversions and ease of development, basically a 'home console pc' - how, if its not even the same architecture exactly? sorta defeats the point.

maybe XNA solves that - I havent cared enough to look

The 3DO was a worthless piece of junk whose claim to fame was FMV, ugly low-res streaming video. Not even remotely the same as the XBox. Pretty lame comparison there . . . :oh_no:

although chimpmeister is a complete and total dipshit...
