Punch-Out!! (Wii) - Easter Eggs 1 (Regional Differences, Unused Animations, Glitches)

In the first edition of Wii Punch-Out!! Easter Eggs, we'll cover some differences between versions across the world, some animations that aren't used in the final build of the game, and some glitches (with some having more "interesting" results than others).

Thanks so much for checking out this newer format I'm trying of compiling different topics into one video. If you prefer the videos in this style, a like or some other kind of feedback would be really useful. I hope you enjoyed the video :)

Note: a couple of clips featured show crowd members appearing very rectangular. This isn't any kind of version difference and was just me messing around with values.

Sandman walking in with light footsteps and maniacally laughing before the match even starts is so funny 😭

Aran Ryan: You're gonna love this, Mac!

*Invalid Game Data*

[westube]

I love that 13 years later I still am finding out new things about this game

[Damian_]

9:30 the "star obtain" sound in slow motion is oddly satisfying

[noise]

10:47 that feels like that scene in some games where two characters punch each other at the same time

[Sonezan]

Bear Hugger windmills are straight perfect for TD.

[Not_A_Lions_Fan]

I think the windmill attack would be perfect for title defense bear hugger

[GeorgeMHall]

0:56 the ref walks on top of aran ryan

[BradyChubbs]

10:49 “yeah I’m sorry I’ll see myself out”

[KanaIzumiya]

That Great Tiger thing *almost* seems like a thing he'd do for real. Maybe just as an animation, it'd be a nasty trick if you weren't expecting it.

[voltfox]

6:24 The way he menacingly stand and just looks at Little Mac is just scary...

[Shady_Fungus]

@15:49 Gotta love Mac’s pose and what looks like Don’s look of approval. It’s like
Don: Wait… I know that pose...That’s MY pose. He’s beating me and yet… I respect it.

[StarluxeYo]

"You're gonna love this one Mac!"


6:23

[CornyVR.]

14:58 Don’t worry guys! The referee just wanted a close eye on the fight! He wanted to make sure nobody was cheating!

[Silly-Goose-OG]

6:15 I actually kinda like that taunt. It kinda looks like he’s gonna go for one of his punches, but he doesn’t.

[Ghostface-]

4:51 I swear I'm hearing bear hugger call Mac a not-so-nice word

[mrcta]

9:25 bro used a triple star punch on a one shot great tiger 💀💀💀

[Alexander_the_Greatest]

"Your gonna love this" *breaks the game*

[bigredradish]

still very much happy that Punch-Out in pretty much all its forms is still getting talked about! one of my favorite games growing up (which makes me sound old) and it's extremely worth the discussion and deep dives into the code and stuff. maybe one day somebody'll add back some of these unused animations and stuff and make a neat little patch out of it.

[GANGST]

14:58 A glitch so powerful it may have also created a “boundary braking at home” moment. Apparently even the ref’s head tracks the movements of the opposing boxer and I assume Little Mac as well.
