okay Nintnedo but if Punch-Out is so great why hasn’t there been a Punch-Out 2,
or something along those 2024 lines. Let’s find the answer together bb

Punch out will never get another game cause good games don’t get made anymore.
Because Nintendo.
There's no multiplayer. Add multiplayer and that's it.
As much as I loved Punch-Out!! Wii, my one criticism of the game was that it only had one new character. And he was great, so I want more where he came from.
There are some characters that probably shouldn't come back in a new game. But that's fine, I want a new installment to focus on new faces anyway.
I do agree with your assessment that an arcade style game is a harder sell to today's crowd. Unless they reinvent it to the point where it's not Punch-Out!! anymore, I think it would have to be a smaller scale eShop-only budget title that knows it's targeting a niche crowd.
If its not splatoon, animal crossing, mario, or zelda, be happy if it even gets a reference, dlc, or a report
I think arcade punch out with updated graphics would be awesome on Switch. And of course replacing the dumb names with names from their actual countries, like Pizza Pasta becoming Giovanni Lombardi, Bald bull becoming Deniz Atatürk, or soda popinski becoming Alexei Smirnov.
I used to have an uncle from Hungary who was a dead ringer for Bald Bull aside from not being bald.
As to how many more dead franchise Smash can carry, quite a few more. There are plenty of retro characters who have moveset potential, or so we think.
Usually when it comes to fanmade Smash roster newcomers, we usually hit the bottom of the barrel when it comes to Nintendo reps and resort to retro or obscure characters who have plausible designs but only had one or two entries in god knows how long.
Meanwhile, it's either newer characters from newer entries of established franchises, recent new IPs that almost never take off, continuously overlooked characters that Samurai ignores because Sakurai, or Samurai just decides to tiptoe over to Nintendo's third-party neighbors.
Needless to say, most of the characters we've been waiting (and are still waiting) for have been reduced to png spirits, who also double as replacement trophies….
As of SSBU, third-party focus has been at its highest.
A new f zero could be really easy to make just saying
You missed one other key reason why punch out is effectively dead, boxing is as well. UFC/MMA in general has usurped boxings audience.
a bunch of the boxers were straight up gay as all hell.
Cool
Ive beaten mike Tyson, still my greatest gaming achievement.
Edit: Punch out is my favorite Nintendo series ever, ive beaten all of the games (except super arcade that game can fuck off) and i love the series to death.
Even if we never get a new game, Ill always have my copy of wii, and my nes cart. And ill always love every second of each fight in those games
Except title defense soda popinski. He can fuck off.
Idea for how they could bring it back:
A mobile game
A couple crossovers
Switch port of the wii version
Punch out styled online profiles
More love
Slightly less stereotypes
More boguses released
Super macho man in smash bros
I think the biggest issue Nintendo has with Punchout is they don't simply wish to take a previous game and just reskin it. They can do that with popular games such as Link's Awakening, and so forth. But Punchout is one of those games where you need to have a niche hit really well. What make's that tricky is Punchout is a game franchise that doesn't lend well to vastly new paradigm shifts in playstyle. At its base you can dodge, block, and do a few directional punches, then you solve puzzles in real time with that set. Deviating from that makes it NOT a Punchout game.
Developing a new Punchout game will be easy. Designing a new Punchout game will be very hard. With that said, I don't think they are going to not try. All the major releases of the game have been pretty good hits and fan favorites after all.
Glad I have these all on my wii u baby!
Im going to have to watch that ranking list hahaha
No Punchout or Metroid on n64=no buy for me
The stereotypes are hilarious, if people can’t laugh at themselves a little bit it’s over. Every country was targeted equally; the characters are what people love. The answer is that they’re lazy, if they wanted to make a Balloon Fight or Ice Climber sequel they could, the concepts could be expanded as much as they’re willing to be creative.
Can we at least get a Switch port of the Wii game, because that was fucking amazing.
Nintendo loves making half of their IP's wait 10+ years for a new game. But it always comes back eventually…
Does Nintendo even remember they made it?
I always considered Arms as a punch-out sequel, if only they added Glass Joe in it

Soda Popinski is not really offensive for russian audience, most of them don't even know that this series exists. (I'm telling this as a russian person)
Thunder Ray and Big Boy Boxing will have to suffice as pain killers
Goodbye, Piston Hondo 😢 I’m sad I won’t get to marry you, babe
As A German, Von Keiser is an icon
You know, I think it would have been cool if they released the Mike Tyson version of Punch Out to promote Mike Tyson Mysteries when it first came out.
I think your reasons are very solid but, I also think they could be too scared to make a new one because of how good the last one was.
