Glass Joe's wife being the final boss instantly sold me on the game.

I’ve always thought that a “chess boxer” would be funny. The mid-match cutscene’s would be them playing chess, with the special KO being them getting checkmated

Katy's biggest threat being Glass Joe's wife is wonderful. Maybe to keep the French puns, how about naming her Jeanne D'Arcane, because she has mystic tactics and physical brute strength while still referencing Joan of Arc.

I love the idea of Glass Joe being married to the world champ woman's boxer. It'd at least explain how a man that's lost 99 times in a row still gets to be in the league... they're afraid he'd cry to his wife if they ever actually fired him.

The Iron Jane idea is hilarious and definitely a joke Nintendo would use with Glass Joe.

The idea of glass joe having a muscle mommy wife is so good and I’d probably die laughing if it became canon

What if beating Captain Falcon gave you the option to replace the Star Punch effects with a Falcon Punch?

Imagine if the game did have you play as different boxers, and there was a super secret true final boss, and it was Little Mac coming out of retirement one last time to face the new champion. It could give off similar vibes to the Red fight on Mt. Silver in Gen 2.

After Wii redeemed Aran Ryan from a completely boring boxer in Super Punch Out, a sequel would absolutely need to redeem Pizza Pasta, the guy who is infamous for being arguably THE most shallow boxer in the series. Call him Pete Zapasta and make his character a member of the mob. It works for his Italian nature and the mob is infamous for being involved in boxing. Say that in his fight he starts out really easy because the narrative is he's throwing the fight, but after you knock him down a couple times he gets angry and starts to box for real. Then in Title Defense, he's out for revenge so the phase where he's in a fixed fight is skipped in addition to making him have a ton of new tricks. If Aran Ryan isn't in the game then he can take over as a dirty boxer - but c'mon, Aran Ryan HAS to be in the game. Zapasta would certainly be likely to have some illegal moves in his arsenal, but absolutely not to the extent as Aran Ryan.

I wanna see them do this so Bumbles McFumbles could count all the infractions that’s done

Reedy little Glass Joe being married to an absolutely beefy brick wall of a woman is the cutest goddamn idea ever and I'm sold entirely just based on that. Carry your husband gently like a baguette

Ive had an idea for this new boxer for a while now. I like to imagine him as a swedish boxer that is sorta like glass joe but if he was a little more compitent. And his WHOLE shtick is that he is OVERLY apologetic. Like, he'll knock you down and just be all like- "Did it hurt?" "Do you need help?" "I didn't punch you to hard did I?" Like he's genuinely concerned about you. But after a while it will start to feel more like he's taunting you. Even though he Truly means you no ill will. You know despite the fact he's fighting you. And if your asking, "If he's so apologetic than why is he boxing?" And my answer is...I.. don't.. exactly know.. But I like to imagine it's because he wanted to be taken more seriously and gain more respect. But that parts still a work in progress

I love the idea people have thrown around and doing a prequel showing how Doc Louis became Heavyweight Champ (with maybe a 60s or 70s boxing look) and how he invented, then perfected the star punch.

A cool idea would be a prequel to the Wii punch out where we follow Doc Louis when he was competing, what would be cool also is if we could see all the older boxers and see them when they were young

I’ve always thought the idea of an “Intergalactic Punch-Out” would be amazing. Imagine fighting as a normal guy in an interstellar boxing league against aliens with unconventional bodies, like an alien with multiple arms or an amorphous blob that can dodge your punches by shapeshifting.

I want a Samus fight in Punch-Out to have a boxing glove on the arm cannon, even if she never actually uses it.

I think the Nintendo Circuit needs a fight with Spring Man, or someone else from ARMS. Seems like a connection that needs to be made.

I feel like if you got Captain Falcon in the game, the falcon punch would be super telegraphed and easy to dodge but if you get hit by it you just instantly lose. I imagine it'd be accompanied by an animation of Mac being sent flying into one of the arena walls

Assuming Hitmonchan could actually be in, it would be really cool to have him utilize elemental punches. You would have to be extra careful of what punch is gonna blocked or dodged. Fire could cause burn damage for a few seconds, ice would slow your movement, and paralysis could instantly deplete your stamina.

For that Nintendo circuit, Masked king Dedede would be a great choice as his mask could function like King Hippo’s man hole cover.

the "HD Rumble" in the Joy-Cons could be used as another way to "feel" the attacks coming and respond. A big hit coming from the left? you'll get those vibrations happening as just another sign "hey, you gotta dodge this NOW" In theory it could turn out that you can play the game without even seeing or hearing the screen lol.

The female boxer being called Katie is good because she could be called Little Kat for short lol

Man I still remember watching Mac's Smash reveal & my reaction basically boiled down to "FINALLY". Like you said at the beginning, F-Zro may be the game with the biggest "please bring it back" crowd (which I am absolutely a part of because god I love my high octane racers), but Punch-Out in my mind is right behind it.

The "Nintendo Circuit" is an idea I've had for a hot minute, glad to see someone else pushing for more Nintendo reps!

I've thought of ideas for a new Punch-Out before, and most of the ideas I had are present here (new protagonists, female boxers, a VS Mode where you can actually select all the different opponents in the game), but there are two that aren't here that I really like. One is to have Little Mac act as the final boss. He became the champion in the last game, so he's still the champion in this game. The other is for Matt from Wii Sports to be a guest opponent. It's kind of a joke idea, given Matt's meme status, but he is the highest ranked boxer in Wii Sports, which is one of Nintendo's most popular games, so he'd be kind of perfect for the "Nintendo League" idea you presented here (which I love, by the way).

glass joe being married to one of the strongest boxers sounds like both a great contrast and fucking funny as hell.

I feel like for a "Nintendo Circuit" one of the opponents should be a character from ARMS, how would that work? Idk, but I feel like it would be fitting for Nintendo's other boxing-centric game to get a rep in this new Punch-Out.

Ooh ooh! What if the "choose who you want to play as" part is like filling out a wvba application form or something. Like the first one is gender, then fighting style, and maybe, just maybe some cosmetic decisions, then the boxer you chose fills out their name automatically and the camera switches to their face. That'd bring some style points immediately.

Here's an idea I had while watching your video: Make the game set in a future where you control an up-and-coming boxer (who you can customize the name, appearance and fighting style) and whose trainer is an older version of Little Mac called Old Mac. Another Idea: Make some of the boxers related to the ones from the past (like Glass Joe has a son who is incredibly huge and strong, that's seriously funny).

Some ideas! * The female boxer could be named Wendy, so we have Mac and Wendy, you know -> 🍔 * I hope to keep the international representation on the line of well intentioned cartoony stereotypes. Like a Tango dancer for Argentina, a Kpop starlet for Korea and so on. *The top female boxer should be "the Tooth fairy" The Nintendo league for female fighters could be: Princess Daisy, Dark Samus (If regular Samus competes against Mac) , Twintale (to not repeat Min Min as the ARMS cameo) and Tiki from Fire emblem (she could transform into a Dragon for a special move and give the ring a medieval look if you defeat her) Anyways, amazing video! Can't wait for what might come in the future!

YESS ANOTHER EPSIODE OF LET'S MAKE A SEQUEL! While I, like many, love "Build The Roster", I do love seeing more episodes of this series as well

Concept: I think in terms of the crossover picks, one that springs to mind for me as a logical pick could be Starman - from Pro Wrestling for the NES. He's obscure enough to be a logical addition to a normal lineup - but could also be really unique with his wrestling-themed abilities, using stuff like his Somersault Kick or Flying Cross Chop! He'd be a great callback, and a really unusual face too!

To go with the 3 playable characters, I think each one could have a bit of their own story, including their own coach. Swarmer could have Little Mac, all grown up and wise beyond his years, Outboxer could have Doc Louis who decided to take on a new apprentice after Mac retired, and the Slugger could have someone else familiar; Sandman. After Mac repeatedly humiliated him in the ring and as the years went on, he retired, but never stored harboring a grudge for Mac & Doc. Would also love it if the world champ became one of the other characters after winning Title Defense or Contender mode.

This man is going to be thinking of better games than what we get or don’t get

punch out has actually had a versus mode before as a secret in super punch out. its super cool and was only discovered recently.

I love all these ideas! Especially the "Glass Joe's wife is the champion" idea. It's the ULTIMATE "he asked for no pickles!" relationship. My personal idea for a Punch-Out sequel also included a female league. I like to think it'd be set an unspecified amount of time in the future. You'd play as Luna, the teenage daughter of Mr. Sandman, who is being trained by Little Mac. Luna has a signature move called the Moon Punch, which is like the Star Punch, but slightly different. With Mac's help, she'll rise up through the female league and follow in her dad's footsteps.

One idea I find really funny for the Nintendo circuit is for if you’re able to beat every character in survival mode or something like that, then the final opponent is Master Hand. How would that work? No clue, but the idea of having just a giant floating hand in a boxing game is hilarious to me

Love all of this. My own personal hope for a new punch out is that Matt from Wii sports is one of the secret fights

Ok I have interesting concepts for the bonus boss. What if the bonus fight was against Little Mac himself who decided to come out of retirement for one last good fight if the protagonist isn't him. Alternatively if it is Mac as the protagonist, the secret fight is against the Super Punch Out protagonist who was referred to as Little Mac after going his separate ways with Doc in the US material but has since been confirmed to be a separate character. I honestly really like the latter and can imagine a really interesting and fun fight against what is essentially a mirror match against a boxer who fights just like you and has access to his Knockout Punches in place of the Star Punch Mac has. Seriously I'm a sucker for battles against characters similar to the main hero I'm sure this would be fun as well to fight. Plus in terms of the hypothetical vs mode he'd play similarly to how he did in Super Punch Out, hell you could make him an alternate playable character with no real changes to the story other than offering some replayability that you get for beating him or his exhibition mode, but instead of him you fight Mac in his place who gets his own boss fight like the original idea suggested.

Lots of interesting ideas here, I think my favorite is having the two different leagues with Mac and a female boxer, that would essentially make the game two Punch-Out games in one package. Also, if we do get more guest characters in the next Punch-Out… we got to get Balrog from Street Fighter in there, he’d be perfect as a secret boss.

Some of the fighters could be the students of the old fighters kind of like when fighting games want to have a time jump so it would still seem similar but with a new flare

6:32 Isn't Punch Out!! about a man that may or may not be in a relationship with an intergalactic bounty hunter, but also has his bike stolen, only to team out with the alleged thief to seek glory in the ring by beating up Mike Tyson? That's some pretty deep lore right there.

I’d like to see the game take place years before Little Mac, and show Doc Louis in his prime.

I despise how a mandate for Nintendo sequels is always “add something new to the formula even if it means not releasing a new entry for 20 years”. This is what got us stuck with that terrible control scheme in Star Fox Zero that Nintendo refused to change despite opinions lambasting it all the way up to its release. You dont have to reinvent the wheel Nintendo. If Activision can get away with release CoDs that essentially the same every year, you can get away with a new Star Fox, F-Zero or Punch Out after 10-20 years of nothing.

Thanks for reminding me I’ve been wanting Punch-Out on Switch again. I miss this series.

I want a sequel for the classic wario land games. They were so unique and fun. i am so sad that wario only gets wario ware these days.

How did you manage to talk about possible guest characters for a Punch-Out game on the Switch and somehow *not even mention* ARMS

Despite what her Smash moveset would suggest, Samus has a lot of close-range moves these days, mostly thanks to Dread, and she’d be an absolute menace to fight.

An idea for the unlockables: Maybe, after beating all of each enemy boxer's challenges, you gain a modification to your star punch that can be swapped out in the customisation screen. Maybe Glass Joe's turns your star punch into a long duration invincibility effect where your character automatically blocks and dodges incoming attacks, whilst Mr Sandman's turns it from a singular powerful punch into a barrage of punches that damage through blocks

Oh I am HERE for this! It's about time we got another Punch Out game!

A couple things: 1. I _adore_ the multiple boxers idea, but I think we can take it a couple steps further. Picture this: instead of choosing either a boy or a girl, you get both as playable characters, each with their own fights. Fully customizable, styles too if those make it in, lots of outfits and many more to unlock. Exhibition matches with challenges and a survival mode after beating the game. The story goes like this: The VBA announced a new league called the WVBA and a duo decide they both want to be champions, so they turn to the best boxer in history to train them: -Little- Mac. The male character rises through the VBA, fighting foes old and new while the female character faces the new WVBA and takes on an entirely new roster. There could be some relation to the old cast. I'm picturing characters from the arcade game Arm Wrestling making an appearance. Also 4 circuits for each. After they both become champions and defend their titles, they make their last stand. When they hang up their gloves, Mac expresses how proud he is of the champs. He directs them to an obscure corner of the gym. He removes the cover of a mysterious machine. It looks like an arcade machine. Interacting with it reveals that it's actually a remake of the Wii game, complete with Doc Louis' Punch-Out! Doc Louis also makes appearances throughout the game, but I'm not sure when. I'm also picturing a fight against Mac. 2. A new code was recently found for Super Punch-Out which, gets this, lets player 2 control any of the opponents. They are not balanced *at all,* so I'm picturing that for the multiplayer mode, the boxers show up at Mac's gym after getting beaten in the story mode. They fight exactly like they do regularly with their own movesets and unique moves exclusive to multiplayer. They can even wear the costumes you unlock from completing challenges. Also anyone can fight anyone. 3. After hearing their mentor relive their glory days _again,_ they get a mysterious letter for something called the "Mushroom Circuit." It's a series of fights against Nintendo characters, with title defense fights as well. I'm picturing these being bonus fights not related to the main story. They could even add more as DLC or free updates. Ideally, they could work as skins or playable characters. You can even use them in multiplayer! Obviously, DK is one of these fights.

F1rst........ I literally had a concept about this. The Switch would work perfectly for a Punch Out game.

Pretty obscure idea but I’d like to see a Ring fit adventure sequel

My idea for a new puch out would take inspiration from persona and Hajime no Ippo. Basically you can explore your main boxers hometown and train or do activities that boost your stats. Each part of the circuit will lead to you interacting with your upcoming oponent and based on whether you befriend or antagonize your oponent the more difficult or easy the fight will be. For instance if you befriend glass Joe he becomes more motivated then ever to put in effort and becomes a little bit more challenging. This way we can give some small character development for some of these boxers and give them just a little bit more depth. The mode doesn't have to be super big and grandiose but it could make the world of punch out a bit more immersive

There was a hidden 2 player versus mode in Super Punch Out that was recently discovered. One player has to be Mac though (or whatever his name in that game is supposed to be), so it's not the same as your idea. MAJOR missed opportunity for your Nintendo Circuit idea to not include an ARMS character. C'mon, they're the other most notable Nintendo franchise featuring boxers! Speaking of, you got a little unfocused there at the end since you kept exclusively referring to the player character as Mac instead of something more neutral. EDIT: OH! I just had the perfect identity to stick to your female champion: A genderflipped Nick Bruiser from Super Punch Out, so call her Nic or Nikki and make her brother Rick the male champion. Also that would make the perfect compliment to your joke about her boyfriend being Glass Joe, since the best records for KOing Nick have Glass Joe in 8th place as an easter egg, and there was a rumor started by Nintendo Power that Joe's single victory was against Nick in a freak accident.

This idea for a new Punch-Out!! game has popped up in my mind every now and again. Now after seeing this video it makes the concept sound even cooler! Out the ideas you presented I like the one with having two different leagues where you control a male boxer in 1 and a female boxer in the other. Plus the female boxer with the name Katie as a reference to an IRL boxer is a nice touch. Also an idea I have that stems from using returning characters but with a twist. How about within the group of returning boxers, we have a few characters from the very obscure Punch-Out!! spinoff, Arm Wrestling? Such as Texas Mac, Alice & Ape III, Frank Jr. They would be reimagined a little to fit inline with the Punch-Out universe. For ex. I can think of a new name for Texas Mac being "Texas Hol-M" a cheeky play on Texas Hold-em. Alice with an upgraded Ape IV, and Frank maybe rechristened to "The Monster". Plus if we go by your unlockable aesthetics idea we could say you can unlock a Mask X mask for Bald Bull! He did appear in Arm Wrestling under that alias so it would be a neat reference!

Punch Out for the Wii is one of my favorite games of all time and the best Wii game of all time. I really wish they got to do more with the stuff they came up with.

The three boxers could be boxers we've seen before. Swarmer - Little Mac from Super Punch-Out on the SNES Slugger - Giga Mac, from Punch-Out on the Wii Out-boxer - The boxer from the _original_ Punch-Out from 1983. He doesn't have an actual name, he's just called "Challenger" Since SNES Little Mac and Arcade Little Mac look _very_ different from the "main" Little Mac, it's entirely possible that these are all different boxers. Maybe the Little Mac from Punch-Out Wii sprained an ankle or something, so he started working out. He started focusing on his arm strength rather than his leg strength, eventually becoming the roided out slugger known as Giga Mac. Then the _previous_ Little Mac, from Super Punch-Out, returned to take his place. Add in the Challenger from Punch-Out 1983, and you have three former champs all competing for the same belt. Oh, and depending on which Little Mac you pick, the other two Little Macs become your opponents in the semifinals and finals! Maybe differentiate them by calling the swarmer Super Mac and the out-boxer Old Mac, and you're good to go!

Honestly this is one of your most interesting videos to date, absolutely loved it.

I would love there to a be a mode called "Glass Joe's comeback" where you play as Glass Joe and fight through the circuits but you can train him up on the side and he gets stronger and stronger throughout the game and he eventually faces mr sandman, dk or even little mac. Maybe doc can teach him the star punch. Don't want it to be too similar to the main game so maybe having him start out very weak and having the training bonus on the side can make things more interesting.

14:03 heck the boxing ring even looks like a music staff, it really is a rhythm game in disguise.

Another fun unlockable idea: after getting some calientes done, the doc louis bien cutscene chances to him riding on a yoshi following little Mac

If they do make another punch out game, they better bring back the legend known as Super Macho Man. I will die on this hill.

What if Katy was Aran Ryan’s little sister?? She’s based off of Katie, an Irish boxer, and he has the line “Me sister hits harder than you boy!” These ideas are amazing!!

I was listening to the idea for multiplayer and had an idea, Imagine this: You beat the base story mode, credits roll, and at the end you get a bunch of unlocks, But one of them stands out:??? You select it, And it brings you to a menu with a bunch of squares with the shadowed out pictures of the various fighters, and two tabs, One with a padlock, the other having the gender symbol of the character you beat story with. (Male for Mac, Female for Katie.) Only the first fighter isn't shadowed out. (We'll consider you beat story with Mac.) Glass Joe. You pick the option and a cutscene plays. Joe's sitting on a bench in an empty gym, Absolutely miserable. He's walking towards the exit, About to throw his boxing gloves in the bin. Then he looks over to a poster of Little Mac, Remembering how he was Mac's first fight... If Mac could become champion... He fastens his gloves, Walks up to a punching bag and gives it an almighty punch!... That barely moves it... In spite of that, Joe. Is. Determined. The opponent select screen let's you pick the second boxer of the game. You start it up and you see the VS screen. And on the left? *Is Glass Joe.* Yep, This new mode allows you to play a new round of the story with the opponent boxers. You cannot tell me that wouldn't be hype as hell.

Additional ideas: 1. Make Lil Mac and "Katie" know/be related to each other in some way. 2. Have Mario be the default referee for the Nintendo circuit, and throw in luigi as an opponent. Then he could cheat via Mario sometimes automatically siding with him if the fight went the full 3 rounds. (Similar to how Don Flamenco complemented the refs hairstyle in the first game.)

For Nintendo characters, there’s also Ricky the boxing kangaroo from Zelda, Boxin from Kirby, and Broozer from NSMB. Also, while you mentioned Hitmonchan as difficult to get permission for, I think it or Crabrawler/Crabominable would still be worth the effort, and would have some pretty interesting gameplay possibilities.

I have been patiently anticipating for this video.

Howdy! I loved your video and its rally cool too see all your ideas! Right now im working with a team to make our own punch out style game!

0:41 ha, I saw twist joke coming. I love your stuff

Unless Nintendo wants to go that far with these ideas, you can still make a new installment feel engaging and worth it by just having the other boxers fight each other. It's probably one the biggest demands I see for this game. Even the Mario movie referenced it with a picture of Hondo and Bull having a match. I also mentioned somewhere that I feel like another good idea was to extend the lore of its characters. The Wii game dipped its toes in with this idea, and it brought extra personality to the characters, so I think getting an extra slideshow for each of them once you beat all the challenges would serve as a nice reward. It may be a game about boxing, but saying you can have fun with this is an understatement.

1:11 Yeah, great alternative. Definitely have a frame of reference.

It's so true how you said nintendo wants new entries to have new gimmicks. As for f-zero having a new game, it really would be huge to just add an open world or linear action game to f-zero, with the big events still being races. like captain falcon is a bounty hunter, its pretty easy to do stuff with that. same for the other racers, everyone in f-zero has some crazy side thing going on. I also remember there being a fan theory about how f-zero is like wrestling, as in it's all scripted and fake, that could actually be the framework for a whole set of new mechanics like crowd engagement, stunts, objectives within the race, rivalries, stuff like that.

Hey Thorgi! Love your stuff!

Best thing out of this video is Glass Joe’s wife idea. Love it

"The switch is entering the end of its life cycle" Wait it hasn't been that lo- Oh crap

I always assume a good choice for the nintendo Circuit would be DK,Falcon, Karate Man Joe from Rhythm Heaven,if not the Rhythm Boxer from Fever. And Springman from ARMS.

Always been a fan of the old Mike Tyson's Punch Out! It was practicly my childhood, and the revival for the wii was SO GOOD! Anyway, loved your ideas, keep up doing great.

First off, I’m glad you didn’t delay this to after Christmas but hey, no rush when it comes to your videos. Second, I still don’t know if this is a fighting game exclusive series but if it isn’t, then may I suggest an episode for Kirby Air Ride 2 or even Project X Zone 3.

Me and my brother have thought about a seguel for punch out. Our idea was little max as your trainer. Maybe the charter u play as cound look like super puntch out. Have that victory animation where doc Louis picks u up on his shoulders but with little max than have doc Lewis pick up max on his shoulders. Introduce new and old characters but give them coaches. For example give king hippo a protégé And how king hippo be in his corner. You could also Gabby J with glass joe in his corner. Kid quick be in disco kid’s corner. Also have one of von kiser students with von in his corner. Also have a relationship between coach’s and student evolve with the boxer. For example disco kid could get some new moves after he finishes his boxer sizing course. His relationship with a quick could deteriorate they could fight a lot and instead of him posing and leaving himself open He has a quick scuffle with kid quick.

Top 10 Nintendo Franchises That Need To Return: 10. Elite Beat Agents 9. 1080 Snowboarding 8. Wario Land 7. Sin & Punishment 6. Wave Race 5. Star Fox 4. Advance Wars 3. Punchout 2. Golden Sun 1. F-Zero

This video just made me smile so much

Great video man. Love all the ideas.

Nice to see a recent version of this idea.

So, my immediate idea for how to add a new twist to F-Zero is since Mario kart 8 took inspiration from F-zero with the anti gravity mode, maybe F-zero should take inspiration from Mario kart, and have the main new mechanic be customizing your car, I imagine the single player mode has you do races to win prize money to buy new parts to win higher level races.

17:24 I already like this video, this moment made it a masterpiece

Love this series, mostly stuck with Mike Tyson's PO but loved the Wii and even the snes one just as much. If it came back I would like to see more influence from Super Punch Out characters alongside more new uncoventional boxers in general.

Making Glass Joe a malewife is the best idea you’ve ever had

Dude this hyped me up 1000%

a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

lol the idea for Glass Joe's wife is amazing.

Super Macho Man vs. Bald Bull? I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE.

This is one of the best ideas ever

The 2-player mode you have in mind would be crazy (In a good way of course)!

14:50 Oh this is me!

No wait, even better. Don’t have ganondorf, have KING K ROOL, the crocodile is literally a boxer.

Super Punch-Out comes to mind when planning a Wii Punch-Out sequel for a few reasons. For one, it had some other boxers I'd love to see realized with full voices and models: Bob Charlie, Dragon Chan, Masked Muscle, Mad Clown, Narcis Prince and Hoy Quarlow. SPO's initial review in Nintendo Power had the negative part as follows: 'Needs more boxers. Can't choose to be a different boxer.' So that's the biggest change to make- give EVERYONE a full story mode with more background details about them (one of the Wii game's strengths is giving all of its boxers just as much international personality and humor as the Mercenaries in Team Fortress 2). Just imagine the triumph you'd feel when taking Glass Joe (or Gabby Jay) along the uphill path to the championship! SPO also had a 4th hidden Circuit as you mentioned, though if we're going to fit everyone plus the new guys in here we might need 5 or even 6 Circuits. The more, the merrier.

I had a very similar idea to your Nintendo Circuit a while back. Mine was just the Mario Circuit, and it consisted of Mario, Donkey Kong, Wario, and Bowser.

Thank you... Only addition to the game play could be a new punch hold up and b=left hook hold up and a=right hook B=left jab A=Right jab Hold down and b=left uppercut Hold down and a=right uppercut

Here's my pitch for a Nintendo Circuit if we go the Male/Female protag route. For Little Mac/Whoever the male is: -Donkey Kong because of course we need him -Wart from SMB2. I wanted an obscure Mario character and he seemed like a good pick -Captain Falcon. We can't leave him out he's too good to ignore -Urban Champion. An old forgotten character that I feel deserves a comeback in some form For the female character: -Princess Peach. She was considered in Wii after all -Min Min. Nintendo would probably try to promote Arms when given the chance, and Min Min has the popular vote -Samus. Because of course she would try to get revenge on Mac -Bea from Pokemon. It seemed like a fairly realistic pick on the female side if I'm being honest.
