Forums - Sales - Did Punch-Out!! disappoint?

157k seems to be rather low, given a Nintendo first-party high profile title with advertising, should it have done more? I don't know. It seems to me that it could have performed better. I assumed it would be higher, since Punch-Out!! has such strong nostalgia appeal in North America

 

What were your expectations?



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Around the Network

The majority of the buyers for the Wii Fit/ Exercise titles are women. Good luck trying to sell Punch Out to them.



Currently playing on PS3: God of War III

Currently playing on Xbox360: Final Fantasy XIII

Currently playing on NDS: Chrono Trigger

I bought it and let me tell you something crazy: The fact that Mario wasn't the Ref really annoyed me. And the music. God what they did to that amazing theme.



I dont think it is bad, I mean, Infamous made a bit more and thats kinda good.



only the biggest nintendo fans claimed this game would sell 1 million. I think 150k is good, but it should sell more due to getting to many tv ads.

You have a point about Mario, but the music?  The arrangments are awesome!


Anyways, I expected Punch-Out!! to open bigger as well but I think it'll do fine overall.

What does that have to do with Punch Out!!?  Because it uses the balance board? 



Sales wise, it's selling slowly but nicely. Did anyone expect Smash Bros. Brawl or Pokemon Diamond and Pearl like numbers?



Pixel Art can be fun.

i predict strong legs

To be honest it woulda been dope if Mike Tyson was up in the game too.
