Topic: Iwata Asks: Punch-Out!! (Also: Nintendo History & a new StarTropics hint. WAT)

Interesting note:

Wada: This is a great opportunity, so I have something I'd like to say. In Punch-Out!!, the game gives you a lot of hints about effective timing of punches. There is a big boxer called Bald Bull in the NES version as well and a light flashes to the right in the audience when he charges. If you punch when it flashes you will land a body blow.

Tanabe: What? Really?

Wada: No one has known about that for about 22 years…

Everyone: (laughter)

Wada: I was wondering when I would have a chance to tell people that.

Iwata: You've been holding that information for 22 years since the release. (laughs)

Wada: Now that I had the chance. (laughs) There are a lot of hidden elements in the NES version.

The Quote That Made Me Go Wild:

Iwata: Sorry for making you wait so long, Tanabe-san.

Tanabe: That's fine.

Iwata: You were responsible for the mission of resurrecting games made by Genyo Takeda, Nintendo's first game designer. Why did you do this project?

Tanabe: It all started from Next Level Games wanting to do this game.

Games produced by Genyo Takeda:

Punch-Out!! (arcade game)
Super Punch-Out!! (arcade game)
Arm Wrestling (video game)
StarTropics
Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II
Pilotwings 64
Pokémon Puzzle League
Dr. Mario 64

Oh, what, you didn't see that coming? Wii Sports Resort was the test-game for Pilotwiings, what with the island and the skydiving and all.

There could be a StarTropics too, though!

[Jericho]

Could, as always, is the key word there. I still want to hold on to hope because of the nature of the sentence Iwata used there. You wouldn't say something like that unless there were ongoing plans for everything.

*Daydreams*

Motionplus yo-yo tricks would be so godly.

[Rad Lionheart]

STARTROPICS NOW KTHNX.

[Protoman Blues]

We'll see.  We'll see.  Either way, Pilotwings makes PB happy!

[Satoryu]

i swear Jelly, hype will be your undoing.

we haven't gotten a new Kid Icarus yet, and i'm fairly certain that's higher in the pecking order. right below Popo's stool.

[Jericho]

But I'm not falling for it. I just play the part.
