@truckosaurus

the "other versions" is solely due to just matching the naming. The NES/VC game was improperly put in the database as Punch-Out!! instead of Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream.

bald bulls 1-punch knock down is one of the easiest in the game once you know it (this of course is contender mode as I haven't gotten to him in Title defense and I don't know if they changed it)

You want to land your punch right as his arm is swinging toward you. It is so natural for me that I'm not 100% sure when you hit the button but I think it is right when he stops moving forward. If you want to star punch his bull rush, just hit A right after the last puff of steam from his nose. (note, there are multiple puffs)

Work on practice mode timing a counter attack on his bull rush. If you can counter it I believe it is an insta KO

Yes, this game is hard. Some things are easier than the NES version, but once you get into Title Defense it really cranks up the difficulty.

Yeah, I was getting worried. It was supposed to arrive last Wednesday (and the status in Amazon was "Delivered") However it wasn't there :S
It's all fine now :)

@ killeryoshis

I only played the Minor Circuit. King Hippo is easier than in the Nes version.

@Zlejedi

All games in others launch with the same number of days for the first week. Very few don't launch on Friday.

Hence why I can say these are poor week 1 sales in PAL. If I was complaining about them compared to NA then my argument wouldn't be making much sense due to various time frames.

For a interesting comparison, Madworld sold 20k in PAL in the same timeframe. I'm sure this will go on to sell a LOT more in PAL, but hey if people were disappointed with that, they should definitely be disappointing with this.

But hey, at least America recognizes a good game when it is released

Alright, I see we got off on a bit of the wrong foot. I agree with the gist of what you're saying, but I'm saying you shouldn't be too disappointed when this is just a day.
And I could have swore you used the word horrible lol. My bad.

nordlead posted 01/06/2009, 01:17
I never claimed they were horrible sales, I said they were poor. Anyways, it is 2 days of sales, and in Japan it is only 3 days of sales for week 1.

Anyways, I'm disappointing by opening week sales in Others. In America that is a great opening, but I was hoping for 50k minimum in PAL. I'm sure it will do good in the long run.

Omega_Phazon_Pirate. posted 01/06/2009, 12:30
@nordlead, welling saying it had a poor first week is subjective. Secondly, 1st day is also a poor indicator of what's supposed to be every seven days, thus why I call it week zero.
And selling over 100K first week isn't "horrible" sales. COD5 (Wii) sold only 60K first week and went on to break a million, plus this game hasn't even been released in Japan. Again, I fail to see how these are apparently "horrible" sales.
Message | Report
nordlead posted 31/05/2009, 12:04
@omega

so should all PAL games be tracked as week zero? They all get released on Friday. This is nothing new. Mario Kart Wii Launched on Friday to over 570k sales but no one complains that should have been week 0.

Every tracking firm separates weeks on the weekend so there is nothing to take into consideration. This game had poor week 1 sales, week 2 sales will probably increase per usual in PAL territories, but don't expect 100k in week 2, maybe 30k tops since it launched in Australia late.

Omega_Phazon_Pirate. posted 31/05/2009, 12:39
@ nordlead, but it was released in the "Others" a day before sales were tracked, meaning it technically isn't a full week thus week zero ;).

@Omega

Almost all PAL games launch on Friday and the sales end on Saturday, so there is no excuse for it to under-perform compared to other "first week" sales.

Sales may typically go up during the second week of PAL but I was still hoping for a lot more. I'm sure it will do good in the long run.

IN Europe, the game was released on 22nd May. The figures were taken from w/ending 23rd May, so it's only really one days sales in Others. I'm sure that next week it will be a bit higher.

This is a very good launch on the Wii. Probably the best this year for a Wii title. I wanted MadWorld to take that title atleast until The Conduit comes out. Oh well, though I wouldnt say Punch-Out!! is the game I was tracking because fighting games are not the games that interest me. CONGRATS to people that do though!

The same way the yearly crap-outs of Call of Duty, Madden, Guitar Hero, and so on do - it's what people want, so it sells, regardless of what some may think about the games.

Though, this game isn't any more of a Wiimake than, say, World at War is a... HDmake of Modern Warfare 1, tbqh. I really don't know where the whole "this game is a NES remake!" thing started, but it really just isn't true.

I just play it for 3 hours with Balance Board ,and carefully check how its work.

I confirm that there's no problem in BB control ,you just gotta learn to shift your weight correctly to make it work.(Learning curve here but not too hard.)

Enemies will stop and glow red for a second before landing their strikes.Just not too scurry and there'll be no problem at all. :D

Personally, I'd be overjoyed if this game passed 3 million (that of the original NES Punch-Out), and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it did - Nintendo are doing very well with software.

Though, my prediction would be around 2 million lifetime. I'd be overjoyed if it passes it.
