Punch-Out!! (Wii) - Easter Eggs 1 (Regional Differences, Unused Animations, Glitches)

In the first edition of Wii Punch-Out!! Easter Eggs, we'll cover some differences between versions across the world, some animations that aren't used in the final build of the game, and some glitches (with some having more "interesting" results than others).
Thanks so much for checking out this newer format I'm trying of compiling different topics into one video. If you prefer the videos in this style, a like or some other kind of feedback would be really useful. I hope you enjoyed the video :)
Note: a couple of clips featured show crowd members appearing very rectangular. This isn't any kind of version difference and was just me messing around with values.

I think the windmill attack would be perfect for title defense bear hugger

Bear Hugger windmills are straight perfect for TD.

[@CornyVR.]

14:58 Don’t worry guys! The referee just wanted a close eye on the fight! He wanted to make sure nobody was cheating!

[@dicehead22]

Right, because god forbid someone cheats in punch out!

[@noise6128]

10:47 that feels like that scene in some games where two characters punch each other at the same time

[@KanaIzumiya]

That Great Tiger thing *almost* seems like a thing he'd do for real. Maybe just as an animation, it'd be a nasty trick if you weren't expecting it.

[@the-reverse]

Just **Poof** Punches 3 times **Poof**

[@Silly-Goose-OG]

6:15 I actually kinda like that taunt. It kinda looks like he’s gonna go for one of his punches, but he doesn’t.

[@Shady_Fungus]

[@ILoveMang22]

Great video! I didn’t know there were numerical health values in this game. Would be interesting to see a list of everyone’s health and the damage of different attacks on the wiki

[@RatKingLiam]

Ikr, would help a lot

[@thetruenoobgod]

How else are they gonna calculate the health?

[@notsyzagts7967]

ALL games use numerical values for health/HP, some are just masked by the GUI or other graphics but numbers are always there lol.

[@thetruenoobgod]

@@RatKingLiam yes, any other way of calculating health would be really glitchy or just very bad

[@ethanlane3055]

I really wish Bear Hugger had those windmill attacks in the final product.

[@GANGST]

14:58 A glitch so powerful it may have also created a “boundary braking at home” moment. Apparently even the ref’s head tracks the movements of the opposing boxer and I assume Little Mac as well.

[@AlexandruCatrina-bk6jg]

14:51 the Referee: de yes

[@bigredradish]

still very much happy that Punch-Out in pretty much all its forms is still getting talked about! one of my favorite games growing up (which makes me sound old) and it's extremely worth the discussion and deep dives into the code and stuff. maybe one day somebody'll add back some of these unused animations and stuff and make a neat little patch out of it.

[@KalamShellaby]

Me: There's no way I can star punch that man's toupee off. Little Mac: (*cracks knuckles*) hold my chocolate bar.

[@ablackskinnedshogun5848]

4:33 I cant be the only one that heard him say FUCKAH!

[@shadowsilvertailsfan]

He's saying Sock-eye, but that is just hilarious

[@countrycore]

Interesting video! The part were Don's Toupee fell off and the referee then kept watching them closely really caught me off guard 🤣 (I usually feel pretty bad for Don when his Toupee falls off, kinda regret laughing about it) Also I found Don and Little Mac being frozen in time glitch funny 😀

[@1mew101]

I was in tears XD I wasn't expecting the ref at all

[@notsyzagts7967]

He's just a fictional game character, he doesn't have any feelings to hurt. I don't regret laughing at all.

[@tbone2416]

The unused moves could be modded(with appropriate voicelines and fixed reactions) to make a new harder version of these characters.

[@division8407]

Very interesting findings, great job! It's a shame these fighter moves got cut, would've been neat to fight against

[@tbone2416]

Considering we aren't gonna get a new installment anytime soon,it seems like we might have to get someone to mod the game to add these in. That might be fun.

[@SiHasBeenSpawned]

For bear huggers windmill attacks, I could imagine the line being: "I'm gonna blow you away!" And then if both of them hit I could imagine him saying: Hrah! Yrah! But if they both miss, I have a couple of lines: Huh?! what?! But! How?! That's! Impossible!

[@MangaEnthusiast]

9:00 I like how you added the buzzing sound of a locked up game.

[@DraedonXE]

i got the TD Bald Bull Glitch by accident when playing Exhibition Mode. I was just playing against him again to learn his patterns a bit more but when the next round started i realised that his Health was 0

[@nobodyinparticular9640]

Love how Bald Bull knocks *himself* out by punching Mac, hah

[@GyroLaser]

Would love to see some "boundary break" type videos. I know there's already a video or two of them out there, but some of that needs more love!

[@ElToland]

10:53 That's also called "the dick uppercut"

[@B-40TheBegger]

💀

[@Al-cf9qi]

I love how people are finding hidden things and experimenting with the code 13 years after this game released

[@Chucky_Martinez]

I like how Little Mac standing still while Aran Ryan is trying to get a shot in, he just doesn't fear getting hit because he knows the blow isn't gonna connect

[@abdullah11578]

You didn’t know super macho man have unused voice clip and it is ''release the rats''

Ending it with Mac and Don being friends. Sweet!

[@Thetoucanman918]

Honestly the bear hugger attack should be called the Saskatoon swing

[@Redfox12121]

I thought this would be interesting to mention, but these punches at 4:02 seem to be inspired by Mad clown's werid chop/punch attack.

[@billopisano5303]

Wait, you are meaning the backhand, right?

[@Brady_212]

Bear huggers windmill attack would be perfect for title defense

[@oscarorozzie1210]

Awsome video 😉

[@darkerfalcon3747]

You forgot another regional difference: In the American version, there's a chance that TD Soda Popinski will stay down on the sixth knockdown, resulting in a KO. In the European version, this feature is removed, meaning the player can only beat him by TKO or win by decision.

[@RyomaHoshi22]

What dose Piston Hando say when he's been instantly knocked out?

[@FramebyFrameanimation]

" "Munen..." (無念···) meaning "Regrettable..." (during the KO/TKO animation) " - Punch-Out!! Wiki Thanks a lot for checking the video out😀

[@GuestDGaming]

This is fascinating! I'd love to see more.

[@ajvlogz2697]

Great video!

[@davanime877]

The refree is having a good time watching Don and Mac fight

[@BoltTheEmolga]

The one thing I’ve always wanted to see in this game is as many of the fighters as possible KO’d via 10-count, I’ve only seen it on like one fighter ever. Obviously not possible on Hippo, but the others?

[@MarkKatz2772-jg3tc]

Honestly, Macho Man with fake-out punches while saying "Sike, baby" is actually a really fun idea. I suppose he was already tricky enough, though. Still, nice idea

[@antalabekele5355]

I thought Aran Ryan would say: "YOU DO LOOK IRISH!" when you get punch-out!! In Ireland.

[@billopisano5303]

Damn absolutely Tru But POV: Aran in the world: YA DON'T LOOK IRESH aran in Ireland: SAME YA DON'T LOOK IRISH Me: wait *that's illegal*

[@BizarreJokestar]

The credit's logos are build into the game's movie, which is why they didn't change it into the Chinese ones.

Good video

[@Blitzifie]

9:46 this would actually be really cool if that happened. I'm putting how i think it would work even though noone asked. -After ending a stun, he dissapear -The noise of a certain move plays, but the gem flash doesn't show, so you have to rember the noises -The noise happens -Repeat for about 3-5 moves, then he'd be dizzy

[@croshbarandorocoot]

Hey dude, love your videos! Punch-Out is a great game, but, do you think you could maybe port the models of the characters over something like Gmod or SFM? Keep up this great content

[@flamer3985]

to those who say "mac's knee touches the ground which is considered down" I checked. his knee doesn't actually make contact with the floor. proven with frame by frame

[@ReiAkaris]

Release! The-- *BOGUS!*

[@jacobyoshi3161]

Few questions I would like to ask: 1. Can you see what happens when you use the "ultimate technique" on Bald Bull when your health is low? 2. What are the sources of the "There he is" and the "I think I know what you're getting at" voice clips?

[@OverZeelous]

Not sure about "There he is", but the second one's from Family Guy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXKsqaCon9NqqZo

[@DJIncendration]

What is the ultimate technique you're referring to?

[@OverZeelous]

@@DJIncendration Watch the damn video.

[@DJIncendration]

@@OverZeelous I am blind. I can hear whathappens in the video, but I am unable to see anything (not just in the video. I use a screen reader for everything on the computer.)

[@OverZeelous]

@@DJIncendration Good lord, my sincerest apologies. The ultimate technique refers to Mac throwing a Star Punch and getting hit at the same time. As you can guess, the game doesn't know how to react to this instance and breaks a bit. For starters, when Mac star punches TD Bald Bull, Bull goes down, but the knockdown isn't counted. Yet. When Mac scores another knockdown, *then* the first one is counted along with the second, making it seem like the game pays you back with two knockdowns. (In reality, the first knock down is counted internally, but the visual animation doesn't play) It also makes Mac immune to getting tired (as long as he's induced in that state by repeatedly hitting an opponents block), as long as he doesn't: Finish a stun, get hit, or land a Star Punch.

[@Cheemsburgerr]

4:12 i love the sound here

[@MALEMization]

I wonder how Zallard would fight Bear Hugger or SMM with those changes!

[@strikedoge4503]

[@HBRO_04]

15:53 Don has a bigger head than little Mac so he can basically eat his face

[@corndogthehedgehog277]

First of all, let me get something straight: This is a JOURNAL, not a diary. Yeah, I know what it says on the cover, but when my Mom went out to buy this thing I SPECIFICALLY told her not to buy one that said "diary' on it. This just proves Mom doesn't understand anything about kids my age.

0:36 so wait a minute, if the Japanese version of the game makes it where Mac doesn’t walk back until Aran falls, does this mean Mac could use a star punch and trigger Aran’s KO animation?
