Punch-Out was released in 1987, and stood out for its fluid gameplay, bright settings and graphics, as well as sophisticated characters and sound. The difficulty presented by some boxers is truly a legendary issue for players torn between the good and bad times of the current video game industry. Despite being a glorious title, it seems that Nintendo does not have a remaster planned, or anything close to it.
A leak ensures that it is unlikely that the boxers will return, because they could be attacked directly. Which would affect Nintendo’s image.
Punch-Out has little chance of returning, in the era of social awareness combined with cancel culture. A leak of information ensures that it is really difficult for the title to return, due to the criticism of stereotypes that it handles in its characters and that would currently result in a disastrous problem.
Furthermore, since the soul of the video game is its charismatic characters, there are many doubts about what would be left without them.
“The story I was told (and keep in mind this might just be one person’s perspective and no one else’s) was that there was a much bigger backlash than Nintendo Wii expected against the characters in the game. The team spent a lot of time assuring Nintendo that they were not relying on negative stereotypes, that there was no way they would be reported this time, despite this, they made a few dissatisfied faces and called it a day.
It’s a comment Kinda Funny host Imran Khan made after ResetEra started a thread focusing on hopes for a Punch-Out revival. It is assumed that he heard it drunk, in the middle of a meeting in which the project developers were present. However, between drinks, what will be the reality of words and memories? Only time will confirm the statements.
