Videogame Review, Punch-Out!! for the Nintendo Entertainment System (on Nintendo Wii U Console)
There’s a lot of 2-button games. By “2-button” I mean 2 action or firing buttons, even if the joystick or whatever movement device can act as more buttons to choose from. Punch-Out is a remarkable story to tell your friends about: fighting, dodging, fighting some more and experiencing comedy in motion. No, this game isn’t poetry. It’s a comedy instead because we’re talking about roughness of style given from the player and grace, if any, is too exaggerated or vulgar to defend the feature presentation from accusations on its extreme difficulty to either maneuver or go home on an empty stomach from. Poetry is a kind of romance as opposed to just some artificial management over power. A “classic” like Punch-Out has more to do with As-Seen-On-TV products than pure, delighted vitality. Honestly I’ve found Little Mac to be somewhat tiresome to look at. By staring more at my TV I’ve found a lot to distrust of him- really, he weighs only a little above 100 pounds and defeats Mr. Dream? That’s like me claiming that Taka Michinoku is going to beat Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship… it’s not likely to happen. Fantasies often drift away from reality as our own pursuits in life have us forget remarkable things within reason for showing less of it to inexperienced players. Sometimes fortune gets the handle over individuals as visuals are searched for without recognition for truth; from this notion, every boxer who enters the ring has potential for revolving on the matter between reason and doubt. At times I’m going for one extreme over another extreme and the middle ground appears vague if not entirely up to a computer’s luck in the draw, especially when weight and power don’t mix on the same scale of victory. Boxing itself is an unnatural sport for anyone except for those individuals who enjoy struggle, anxiety, and progress. Let me give you an example. Suppose I put you in the ring with Mr. Dream in real life, placed you guys amongst yourselves, and asked you, literally, without hesitation, to punch this guy square in the face. That would seem… rude, and unnatural for you. Or let me give you another example. Suppose I take you to a gym at a state university and introduced you to a boxer after he was done punching the lights out of a punching bag. Would you shake hands with that boxer or even smile with a lot of confidence? Plenty of business men in our current world believe that arrogance is never confidence. Of course, we know that’s not always the case since wars and battles have to be fought by people who are willing to make the sacrifice. Yeah, I know, you’re looking at the funny pictures on the TV for Punch-Out and won’t take this boxing game so seriously. The reason boxers can be so arrogant is due to something called “Castle Doctrine”- that is, if someone is fighting for his life, he’ll have to be mean and tough with enough skin to get through the violence or else the opponent will take advantage of such softness as to then, without hesitation, give the punch out. Punch-Out represents its own program by means of labels which are meant to confuse you. That’s Nintendo’s purpose. We’ll also look at other labels and be confused ourselves; as, for instance, we might claim that the Wii U console isn’t the Nintendo Entertainment System and has been made by Nintendo very much for our entertainment. Fashion usually has advantage from this confusion in our souls. Entrance and exit are one and the same- by fashion, our clothes, our manners, our society’s commonplaces, we don’t know where to end the matter because we don’t know how to begin a new journey. It’s a combination of lust, pride, and slack which makes us take part in disorderly fashion; Punch-Out just adds more of the same with funny forms of color and never makes it apparent as to when to begin, or end, the journey.
