I don't think any of your reasoning in this video is as damning for a future release as you think it is. The much more likely explanation is that Nintendo tends to assign their IPs to specific studios, and Next Level Games is the Punch-Out team. It's a smaller studio that has consistently put out a new Nintendo published game every 3 years since 2013. Punch-Out!! (2009 Wii) Dark Moon (2013 3DS) Federation Force (2016 3DS) Luigi's Mansion 3 (2019 Switch) Nintendo aquires NLG in 2021 Battle League (2022 Switch) Mario Strikers was another game people said we'd never see again for arbitrary reasons until we did. Punch-Out could be revealed and released NEXT YEAR and it wouldn't be surprising in the slightest.

[@joshzuker8308]

I want to believe

[@kaphizmey6229]

considering that history, it’s more likely they either reveal a side game that flops hard or a new luigi’s mansion next year instead of a new punch-out

[@Thatdeadpenguy]

@@kaphizmey6229 What's the metric there? Why is 'a side game that flops' MORE likely than Punch-Out? The only flop on there is Federation Force and do you really think Nintendo is in the market for another one of those after the reception and low sales the first one got? LM3 sold 12 million copies, so it's safe to assume that Luigi's Mansion is always on the table, and that NLG is the team that's gonna do it now that they're two games in. But that's pretty much it in terms of safe bets barring Punch-Out. They just made another Mario Strikers, so that is more than likely off the table. And look at that, the only other game they're known for is lacking a game on the Switch, which so far has printed money for every IP that gets a release on it (I am of course assuming that the switch successor is going the 'switch 2' route) Makes sense to me.

The stereotypes are hilarious, if people can’t laugh at themselves a little bit it’s over. Every country was targeted equally; the characters are what people love. The answer is that they’re lazy, if they wanted to make a Balloon Fight or Ice Climber sequel they could, the concepts could be expanded as much as they’re willing to be creative.

[@altermann1991]

I think Punch Out Wii managed to avoid crossing the line where the stereotypes would be offensive. Like the characters feel still like actual characters, not just the stereotypes. Not to mention that their stereotypes are also explored in interesting or fun ways in the fights. its not a situation like Pizza Pasta anymore where the whole point of the character was "haha he is italian so he is named after italian food". Also it helped that they had stereotypes for japan and canada in the game, so they definitely made fun of themselves there too.

[@leroyjenkins1249]

I agree. People forget there's a difference between "Xenophobia" and "Stereotypes". Xenophobia (not racism) is the "fear" of anything foreign. If you take actively negative/often wrong stereotypes and display them as "See?! THIS is [culture/nation]". F.ex.: I'm German. And Von Kaiser is...I'll be honest -one of the BEST German Stereotypes I've seen. 1.) It's true, we have a big Military History. Not just WW1+WW2, but the Kaiserreich, the Ottoman wars...we've been involved in a bunch of wars. 2.) I'm also Schwäbin (Swabian): The only south-state that has a culturally engrained cleaning-ritual -"Kehrwoche"(sweep-week) which, from 1492-1988 was politically MANDATED. Now. If you'd display Von Kaiser as a low-key Nazi -that'd be offensive. We Germans (most of us still) pride ourselves to NOT be these assholes. Or as cold, unfeeling, and -at worst - _Bavarian_ ! Von Kaiser is a 3D character. He is a soldier with clear PTSD, who teaches boxing. He has a very Kaiserreichesque military approach, including the near OCD shining of his boots. He also has an ACTUAL German voice actor! Like! Y'know how LITTLE that happens?! Everyone just hires English speakers, butchering "funny" terms! He even uses real German phrases ("Deine Stunde hat geschlagen") -though he is a lil weird in others ("Tantenkaffee" -> should have been "Kaffeekränzchen") I can't talk for the other reps, of course. But I'm pretty adamant they're not bad. Newer versions just need more depth. Make them a bit more fleshed out maybe. Also a character creator.

[@shamwikkis1551]

[@Lumis_The_Lucario]

​@@altermann1991 honestly one of the best examples of this imo is don Flamenco. They incorporate the idea of him being a bull fighter into his fight with him tainting you and the fact that the main gimmick for him is he wont puch until his taintunting gets you to in wich he blocks the punch and goes for the attack, like how a bull fighter taunts the bull to attack before dodgeing and countering it

[@steveslothstorm1155]

Punch Out Wii in particular avoids this problem pretty effectively by giving every character several more layers of depth. Intro cinematics, voice lines, clearer fighting styles and title defence all build up the characters beyond shallow stereotypes. They transform from 1-time jokes into fun characters, some even getting character arcs.

The Olympics is not an event where americans go up against "a bunch of minorities" from different countries to see if they can win.

I think the biggest issue Nintendo has with Punchout is they don't simply wish to take a previous game and just reskin it. They can do that with popular games such as Link's Awakening, and so forth. But Punchout is one of those games where you need to have a niche hit really well. What make's that tricky is Punchout is a game franchise that doesn't lend well to vastly new paradigm shifts in playstyle. At its base you can dodge, block, and do a few directional punches, then you solve puzzles in real time with that set. Deviating from that makes it NOT a Punchout game. Developing a new Punchout game will be easy. Designing a new Punchout game will be very hard. With that said, I don't think they are going to not try. All the major releases of the game have been pretty good hits and fan favorites after all.

As much as I loved Punch-Out!! Wii, my one criticism of the game was that it only had one new character. And he was great, so I want more where he came from. There are some characters that probably shouldn't come back in a new game. But that's fine, I want a new installment to focus on new faces anyway. I do agree with your assessment that an arcade style game is a harder sell to today's crowd. Unless they reinvent it to the point where it's not Punch-Out!! anymore, I think it would have to be a smaller scale eShop-only budget title that knows it's targeting a niche crowd.

[@The_D_ray]

Very nice video and also fair points. While I don't think TWITTER will prevent another Punch-Out!! game because of ""RACISM"", I have to agree in some part that the formula of the game is kind of hard to evolve (kinda like F-Zero as you mentioned, or even Starfox). However, saying that there's NO reason to make another one is out of the window. As a Punch-Out!! fan I wouldn't mind just new characters, as there's many more nations to build upon gimmicks and fighters. Also, the series still lacks a TRUE multiplayer mode, possibly even online. There are plenty of things they could add to the Punch-Out!! formula without anything crazy.

[@PowerUpT]

Great video! The whole stereotype angle was actually something I intentionally tried to avoid in my Punch Out adjacent game I released. I went more in an Earthbound direction with it, with strange opponents that have crazy moves based on their theme, like an alien with a one sided shield. I think it helped to set my game apart, but also to make it a better game since my game is admittedly a lot less constrained to boxing itself, although it pays a lot more tribute than Arms. Nintendo tends to want to evolve their franchises in mainline entries, so I totally see how they tried to move forward with Arms, but maybe it would have had a bit more impact if it stayed a bit closer while finding ways to still evolve it. I tried doing this by making my game faster and more action oriented; evolution just takes a bit of imagination.

Mike Tyson has a grandson who meets Little Mac and Mac agrees to train him to become the heavyweight champion of the world. Tyson Jr (the placeholder name for our protagonist) takes on the mantle of Little Mac himself, continuing the legacy of both Iron Mike Tyson and Little Mac, with the spirit of Doc Louis and Cus D'Amato watching on from the afterlife, proud at what they both created.

Then use the stick to aim where you're targeting, like push up on the sticks to aim for head strikes or down for leg strikes if you don't push any direction on the stick that could be body blows.

To make a long story short the most likely reason why there is no new Punch Out game is most likely due to the fact that one of the founders is deceased and the other one is retired from Nintendo. We could only hope for a new punch out in the future considering that Punch Out was featured in the Mario Movie in the pizza shop with photos of Little Mac, Doc Louise, and the other boxes we saw in the Wii game of Punch Out.

[@funloop]

I had a thought of a Punch out game where it's a duo style game where a brother and sister pair are going up against other duo boxers. This way we can have female boxers with their own boxing styles and quirks. And the last boxers will be a duo of Glass Joe and Jane Doe but the mechanic will be the faster you knock out Glass Joe the harder Jane will be. And since her name is a placeholder name (since she will be a British M16 officer) she will incorporate tactics to take you down quickly and quietly (poison darts in her gloves, a tranq sniper in the stands, etc).

I do think you have a bit of a point with ARMS to an extent, but I always saw arms as being Nintendo's own spin on a fighting game (outside of smash) in the same way that Splatoon was Nintendo's own spin on a shooter. To me, Punch-Out is similar to games like Crazy Taxi or Pac-Man where even if you can't change much between entries, the gameplay is just so good that people keep playing anyway. I honestly don't know if Punch-Out really needs another entry to be honest, for me the games are some of the easiest one to get back into and replay. I just would really like a port of the Wii game so that we could get a proper HD, portable version of what I consider the best entry (especially since that could mean us latecomers could finally play Doc Louis' Punch-Out as a bonus).

[@xylopiano3]

A commenter on another video said that Punch-Out's stereotypes (mostly in the Wii game) are "stereotypes with love." They also compared PO's cast to that of Team Fortress 2. I think PO's stereotypical characters CAN work in the modern era if they are done with plenty of research, along with input from people of each demographic. For Punch-Out Wii, having all the voice actors fit the nationalities of each character, along with speaking their native language, was brilliant. It might be nice to have a few other playable characters who are also of different nationalities/ethnicities. I don't want the devs to get rid of Little Mac, but they could give him some new friends, and make playing as them purely optional.

Normally I dislike games that are heavily reaction-based, low or devoid of story/dialogue, and arcade-y. But for some reason Punchout is still tons of fun to randomly pick up every now and again. Every Steam Next Fest I always play at least 1 or 2 spiritual successors and they are also a grand time. Waifu Fighter - Family Friendly was especially fun because it managed to add in a ton of humor as well. The ones I don't enjoy as much just lack that bit of polish that Punchout itself tends to have in terms of how receptive it is or the hit box timing with animations.

[@Inf-1111]

I like to play all the games but eventually it gets old and you want a new one, I don't think it's that weird.

[@terrahockey]

pls do a video on professor layton and the miracle mask, i told myself i cant play the game until you upload it 🫶🫶🫶🫶 i literally rewatch those videos every week

[@atronan7642]

Is there a whole video on the stereotype tier list. I would love to watch that

[@batdogduke]

The entire stereotype reason has absolutely no backing. Yes, modern social norms have (for the better) strayed away from more stereotypical humor, myself included, but it's not like anything in Punch Out is flat-out immoral. Street Fighter still exists, and while not as blatant as Punch Out, it has stereotype characters that are super fun and interesting. People can get behind Punch Out's jokes and there's plenty more people sane enough to know that's all they are. Jokes. The second reason you made is way more plausible and understandable. Innovation is a much harder goal to achieve in such a simplistic formula.

Nintendo when the fans desperately beg and plead for anything that isn’t another lazy Pokémon reboot or just an older game ported onto switch: 😪😪😪 Nintendo when a singular child in Portugal downloads a snes emulator and a Mario kart rom: 👹👹😡😡👹👹😡😡🤯🤯

[@PetRock42]

Counter argument: anything is possible with enough copium

[@alessandroditerlizzi569]

I think the characters aren't racist or offensive Heck, I think pizza pasta is lame and very tame, it sucks, I wanted something more

[@kingcrimson4554]

The stereotypes are the best part of punch out. I'm latino and I would love to see some ilegal inmigrante like boxers

[@themetalgamer9864]

Just port the Wii version.

[@Sophiapuppybarks]

I think the only reasons why there’s no new Punch Out game is because of the fact that they want to make new games and avoid reboots unless the last iteration of the franchise was 2D or pixels (as seen in Star Fox) and the fact that Nintendo was aware on the changing perspectives of Punch Out’s target audience and want to remove stereotypes as a solution.

[@randomsupergodzillalizardd9981]

To that I say……………………….RESSURECTIOOOOON!

[@NorthSutherland]

As to how many more dead franchise Smash can carry, quite a few more. There are plenty of retro characters who have moveset potential, or so we think. Usually when it comes to fanmade Smash roster newcomers, we usually hit the bottom of the barrel when it comes to Nintendo reps and resort to retro or obscure characters who have plausible designs but only had one or two entries in god knows how long. Meanwhile, it's either newer characters from newer entries of established franchises, recent new IPs that almost never take off, continuously overlooked characters that Samurai ignores because Sakurai, or Samurai just decides to tiptoe over to Nintendo's third-party neighbors. Needless to say, most of the characters we've been waiting (and are still waiting) for have been reduced to png spirits, who also double as replacement trophies.... As of SSBU, third-party focus has been at its highest.

I'll never get enough fed up of American KZbin Nintendo essays.

[@Enan63.]

Today It’s My 19th Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D 🎉🎂🎁

[@ChillenCheese]

happy birthday dude! 🎂

[@barttheraven]

What was the tier list ranking and why is one of them Overwatch 2?

[@therandombats2579]

Another possible reason is that someone on KZbin, called out the boxers in Punch Out of being cheaters. Or at the very least, rule breakers.

[@clutteryguy9747]

As much as id love a new Punch Out game thiis is pretti true. But either way its always a joy to, after a long time, go back to Punch Out for the wii for some fun :)

[@Dr.Priority]

As an authenthic non migrating latin american i want a guy named coke escoba who is a drug lord

[@tahjkuemmerle]

Where is the Eternal Diva video, Voyan?

[@Tyrisalthan]

It is true that in this social justice times, it would seem suicidal to release a game with these kinds of stereotypes. But now could infact be the best time to release it, since people start to be fed up with all this virue signaling and would love to buy something that dare to challenge the zeitgeist. Those that would boikot the game because of bad stereotypes wouldn't buy the game no matter what, so there is no point trying to cater to them. What matters are the people who actually would be willing to use their own hard earned money to buy the game, how to make the game appealing to them. Since now the technical limitations wouldn't get in the way, they could fit a lot more fighters in there. Make the game to be about the world tour, and have there be 100+ different countries represented. And/or take the Mario maker approach and allow people to design their own fighter to fight against, and to upload them so other people could play against them.

[@xylopiano3]

What if there were stereotypes for other things besides countries? As an autistic person, imagine an autistic boxer named something like Puzzle Piece

[@Julian-m2q]

"Punch out switched out"

[@NateTheGnat]

They’ll make a new Punch Out when they make Mario Maker 3. Or a new Startropics.

[@guyfierimtwi]

There's no multiplayer. Add multiplayer and that's it.

[@thunderbird8]

There was a 2 player mode in the Wii version, though offline. Online would not have worked very well for that game.

[@alexbruns5082]

the switch could have been the perfect oppurtonity for punch out but sadly, nothing. BUUUT..... MAYBE THE SWITCH 2 (or whatever it will be called) WILL HAVE PUNCH-OUT (i dont think so but there is a chance)

[@CrashBandicootNerd]

Who’s getting punched (Shows the guy who was an idiot for letting his dog attack a native animal of Australia, my bloody country.) Kangaroos are probably mikes worse nightmare.

[@JoseJimenez-vc7we]

Punch out wii did get alot of good reviews even when wii u was reselling the game it was on recommended... I still feel punch out has a market out there if they wanna do another punch out i won't mind a super punch out remake or a sequel using super punch out mechanics it would be amazing Even witj the stereotypes in series wii did it in the most tasteful manner. While making fun of themselves (bearhugger Canada stereotype+next level games (Canada) But i hope dude... We see it again

[@viewsfromthedeck]

PUNCH OUT ! PUNCH OUT ! PUNCH OUT !!!
