I don't think it's quite the same thing...I don't disbelieve him, but I also have no compelling reason to take his word, either.madara said:
Besides, the guy in the GameFAQs thread went to great lengths to prove that he was telling the truth. This guy could've at least mentioned he was a game journalist or something in the first place.
That said, I'll gladly give him plenty of future credibility if this turns out to be true.

FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
I love Super Punch Out, I still play it occasionally, but it doesn't seem especially "hardcore". It's just a cool little bonus. I think GC fans should be more excited about the boxing title coming to the console, because some EA presentation ugliness aside, it's an excellent boxing game. If they made a few adjustments to the sequel it should be one of the best made. I think it's great that they decided to support the platform with it too.

We'll yeah, that's the important thing. Though in my case, if I actually bought this game (I refuse to support EA's brand of industry "consolidation") I probably wouldn't even touch the main game. Super Punch Out is one of my all time favorite games. It's almost criminal that we have not seen a sequel or remake in two generations.

I have decided to blindly trust this news. It makes sense to me, and I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Makes sense to me if it is true. Putting Nintendo exclusives for Multi-platform games might make people get the GC version instead or even buy a GC.

What they need to do is release a port of Super Punch-Out!! for the Gameboy Advance. Actually, I could see a DS version. The original arcade game used two screens, as I recall. That would be kind of neat, instead of seeing Little Mac, it'd be entirely first-person. If you want to hit a guy in a certain area, simply touch on the touch screen where you want to punch. Just an idea.

KOK 2003 was simply a slightly adjusted version of the 2002 edition which saw release on the other consoles to compensate for the lack of said game on GC.

I believes you. Though you should get spanked for breaking an NDA / posting news about your work irresponsibly on a public forum.

Not quite the same level of fervent opposition but I thought the same thing.
Your man (the poster) hardly went out to cover himself in glory, had nothing to gain, gave us some new (and cool) information, but because he doesn't have proof apparently he's a typical junior member and should be banned. Normally, posters with false information act differently to this guy - i.e. he's just put some stuff out there and doesn't appear preoccupied with who believes him or not.
Hardly encourages people to share information in the future.
He should've mentioned all of his qualifications in his first post, or at the very least been a bit more specific (i.e., "I'm a game journo" or something of that sort). Just leaving the topic title as the news and adding some sentence about EA crap is practically begging not to be taken seriously. I would've given the same reaction for any member, junior or otherwise, unless they had a reputation for posting true information.lochnesssnowman said:
As I said, he is owed an apology as it appears he's right (and has credentials as well), but he really should've gone about posting the news in a way more conducive to belief.

Nice. So as soon as Eurogamer picks up the news FROM HERE and posts it, that's when people start believing it? This "link?" thing has gone too far.
Well, to be fair, we can't prove Eurogamer got the news from here any more than we can prove they actually did get it from sources close to Nintendo (unless you've got information I don't).Kobun Heat said:
Nonetheless, I don't think the majority of us are treating the news as gospel yet (I'm certainly not). The fact that a (reasonably) large (non-Spong) website would feel confident enough to report it does raise my confidence a bit, though.
That is the whole point: some people where harsh too soon. I mean, this is a good example to show just how judgemental some posters are. News+junior memeber+no link and some people just bashed this guy who was contributing to the forum.
What about waiting a bit? If its untrue, then the posters credibility will be harmed, if its true, then the opposite happens.
Anyway, I for once thank the poster for the news. And apologize on behalf of the ones that just attacked him needlessly.

Look I'm sorry that deandotscott is miffed by the bashing he got and I hope he sticks around, but dammit, that is a horrible combination of events that has to be bashed to keep the forum from sinking into a pit of groundless rumours. If this turns out to be true then we everbody who based him gets to eat crow and his stature on the boards grow. If he had explained his situation to start the thread instead of posting a one-liner then the bashing wouldn't have been nearly as bad.CrisKre said:
