Knockout Sin and Punishment 2, Punch-Out!! screens and video

by Randy Nelson { Oct 6th 2008 at 8:15AM }

Since the games were announced last week, all we've had to go on for Nintendo's unexpected, one-two "core" game punch of Sin and Punishment 2 and the new Punch-Out!! for Wii has been second-hand media. Now that the embargo on our Nintendo Fall Media Summit coverage has (finally) lifted, we can offer up these official, pristine screens and gameplay footage.

We've already covered the basics on both games – now it's your chance to sit back, crank up the volume, and get every bit as excited as we were when Nintendo rolled these teasers and passed out anything-but-blurry screens. Of course, there are no firm release dates yet for either game, but they're coming, and that's exciting enough ... for the time being. (Click through after the break for silky-smooth Sin and Punishment 2 footage.)

I can't get over how beautiful and fun sin and punishment looks! Best upcoming wii game for me!

Actually I'm digging Punch-Out's visual look a lot more. It looks like it'll be a lot of fun.

Mr Khan @ Oct 6th 2008 8:40AM

But no hands-on time with either? :(

Randy Nelson @ Oct 6th 2008 8:47AM

No, sadly. VERY sadly.

Punch Out looks like a cleaned up version of Victorious Boxers - which is a good thing. Hopefully, Nintendo will learn from the mistakes Grand Prix made and build upon their strengths.

Punch Out looks like a cleaned up version of "Punch Out"! I mean the NES version. Is everyone here too young to remember that game? I'd really prefer that Nintendo come out with some updated boxing mechanics, instead of rehashing 20 year old concepts.

First, it doesn't look anything like Pun-Out!! for the NES. I think you may have forgotten, not us.( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzubXnSqJik&feature=related )
And new fighting mechanics?! This is Punch-Out!! you are talking about. You fight a guy named King Hippo and to beat him you must hit his stomach and his pants fall down. Punch-Out!! isn't a game for realistic fighting. And it's graphical style complement that ompletely.

Wow, I may just turn on my Wii for the first time in a long time...

samfish @ Oct 6th 2008 9:01AM

Oh man, I can't wait for Sin & Punishment. The first one was freaking amazing, and that's WITH the gimped controls. This one should be unstoppably awesome!

ScottG13 @ Oct 6th 2008 9:39AM

Meh. MIGHT be a Gamefly on S&P. Probably pass on Punch-Out. I'm so sick of 480p visuals from the Wii. That crap looks ridiculous after playing a 360, PS3 or a PC.

Cellien @ Oct 6th 2008 12:13PM

I'm not sure why you got voted down. I feel the same! I own every console, and the new HD still pisses me off to this day.

ScottG13 @ Oct 6th 2008 1:04PM

I guess there are a lot of Joystiq users who like last gen capabilities? Its like Gamefaqs!

If Nintendo thinks rehashing old software poorly is going to bring me back on board, they clearly don't understand my purchasing habits. 18-35 year old males are moving on.

John @ Oct 6th 2008 2:36PM

Maybe you idiots get voted down because you come in and post the same tired fanboy 480p bullshit that people have been talking since wii came out?

Maybe because people think that your dismissing a remake of one of the best games of all time because of the hardware it is coming out on is a tired joke?

Why don't you go play the awesome looking haze or lair then and STFU?

John @ Oct 6th 2008 2:37PM

ScottG13 @ Oct 6th 2008 2:53PM

Maybe I just don't like comic boxing that much anymore. I did enjoy Fight Night quite a bit, though.

Maybe I prefer games to look nice on my display hardware.

Maybe I won't double post.

John @ Oct 7th 2008 3:41AM

Maybe I wouldn't either if joystiq''s comment system didn't still suck

ScottG13 @ Oct 7th 2008 8:38AM

A craftsman never blames his tools.

John @ Oct 7th 2008 9:37AM

Wow, OK, be in internet posting "craftsman" I'll be over here not being a retard.

ScottG13 @ Oct 7th 2008 9:40AM

Please rephrase in the form of a grammatically functional sentence.

John @ Oct 7th 2008 1:53PM

Yes, play the part of grammar police. That certainly makes you look like much less of a douche.

FYI, That should have read:

You go ahead and worry about being an internet posting "craftsman", and I'll stay here not being retarded.

I know that the internets are SERIOUS BUSINESS and all, but you are a complete tool.

Not to worry though, nobody will know since judging from your prior posts, what you write will be invisible soon.

ScottG13 @ Oct 7th 2008 2:50PM

I find it interesting that you refer to me as a fanboy, yet you are the first to resort to ad hominem personal attacks like "idiot," "tool," and "retarded." What next, am a "gay" as well? All this because I dislike low resolution graphics...

John @ Oct 7th 2008 4:05PM

read it again slow so you can maybe understand:

You post some unrelated shit about a system a game you clearly have no interest in happens to appear on, in the thread related to that game.

then you wonder why you get downvoted.

It's like walking into a Ford Dealership and saying how mustangs suck cause your prius gets better mileage.

and yes for not comprehending that you are a retard or idiot.

Providing grammar checks and double posts as rebuttals makes you a douchebag and a tool.

Need it spelled out further?

John @ Oct 7th 2008 4:08PM

Uh-oh, looks like joystiq's crappy comment refresh system strikes again, I must be 3 times as off base this time.

ScottG13 @ Oct 7th 2008 4:14PM

As a Wii system holder, I don't think its unreasonable to not like ugly, jaggie, low resolution games. When the community accepts crap like this as exciting content for their consoles, they'll just get more of it.

I'd like to think Joystiq is a place where platform owners can vocally dislike the product they're receiving. I vote with my dollars and my comments/message board posts. Somehow, through your garbled English-as-a-second language posts, you insist upon that being "retarded."

Anticrawl @ Oct 6th 2008 9:47AM

Any word on perhaps the addition of custom characters or extra female characters in Punch Out? I appreciate the game and what it is but I hope there is a bit more variety.

Dash @ Oct 6th 2008 9:54AM

"Mike Tyson will never know what hit him. You will hit him like a bulldozer. A Little Mac Bulldozer."

Wish list for new Punchout: Mike Tyson as final boss, Mario as referee, and trade Doc Louis for Mickey from Rocky.

Ryan P. @ Oct 6th 2008 10:15AM

Does Joystick have a new player?

It loads and plays very smoothly. Nice Job.

Robert @ Oct 6th 2008 12:53PM

It's viddler (www.viddler.com) - you can brand it with your own watermark.

Off-topic: (but hopefully no one will mind since it's info about a chance to win a free Xbox 360) http://www.xonegallery.com/pixelsandpages - be sure to mention joystiq comments in the "how did you hear about the contest" section!
