Punchout! to offer...1 new character?

I've heard that from prior PO! titles, we are only getting 1 new character...making the cast a total of 13 or so.

Am I the only one that feels that is....underwhelming? I mean, PunchOut is a classic, yes.....but to be so afraid of change we expand the characters by a whopping total of 1? It sounds lazy to me.

Please tell me this isn't true...

Just one new character? That makes it sounds more like a remake, as opposed to a new game.

Kind of my sentiment. Which really sucks.

So basically, they're trying to market this as a whole new game, when it's really the same game with one new character, prettier visuals, and motion controls.

Oh, what the hell, Nintendo?

In Nintendo's eyes that is a "new" game, because most of the people who will buy probably have never played the original, thereby making it new, to them.

I understand that Nintendo is a company, and companies make money, but look at Capcom. They admitted to porting a game simply to make money. What does Nintendo do to make money? They completely sell the intercourse out. I think Nintendo's days are numbered.

Really Nintendo? I know this game will sell millions and be decent, but regardless, but can't you at least TRY?

Did your imaginations leave you when you got rich?

It seems that way.

I'm hoping we'll see some neat arenas, or moves, or something. But really, I'm doubting it.

Only one? That's kind of pathetic...

That kind of sucks. Nintendo can do better than that.
But meh, most people probably haven't played the old Punchouts. So they wouldn't notice.

Well, at least King Hippo is back

:U

Who or what did you hear this from, exactly? I'm a bit skeptical of what you're saying, to be honest.
