So I remember hearing a while back that Next Level, the makers of the first Punch Out Wii game were interested in making a sequel. Naturally, the first things that I always wonder is how they will treat it? I have to wonder if they're going to reuse the roster they had in the previous game? Honestly, I felt they've done all the can with those particular characters at this time, I mean Little Mac has beaten them so many times before. So naturally, I started wondering if they decided on a new roster, who would they use? Who would they create?

So I decided to come up with what I think would be cool. Like the previous games, they could always exploit the zany stereotypes from different countries. Doesn't have to be blatantly racist or anything, but just that sort of stuff like Soda Popinski. Also, to change it up, I would try to use people who are from countries other than what we got in the previous game. So no Gabby Jay, since he's also from France. Of course, we could see the return of several other characters.

Pizza Pasta- obvious Mafia-esque or Napoleonic...he'd obviously be one of the first three opponents you would face.

Dragon Chan-eliminate his kicks and base more counters on him.

Texas Mac-the character from Arm Wrestling, stereotypical modern cowboy

Bob Charlie-if they could make Aran Ryan cool, they could certainly do the same for Bob.

Narcis Prince-same as above. It's obvious he's a lot like Flamenco, but maybe change up his vanity after you knock him around a bit.

Mask X-another character from Arm Wrestling. The story here is that this is actually Bald Bull, but since he isn't a "contender", then he wears a mask to conceal his identity in order to get another shot at the belt. You could always play something up like, if you punch him in the right manner it'll cause his mask to twist or you could remove the mask for an instant TKO.

Scottish boxer-I was thinking of someone to base this off of, like Roddy Piper. He'd appear in a kilt and get disqualified in the middle of the third round after he body slams you if you are "points wise" beating him.

Cuban boxer- I thought about using Piston Hurricane, but honestly...he's way too similar to Honda in my opinion. If they changed up the moveset and first name, I might be more inclined to keep him around.

Egyptian boxer-obvious Pharaoh stereotype who would look like Yul Brenner and be similar in fashion to Great Tiger.

Argentina boxer- I was thinking of maybe a guy based on Manu Ginnobli, who would be a combo of Glass Joe and Don Flamenco. Vain but easy to KO...so he would be the starter.

New Jersey boxer-This is pretty self explanatory, especially with the craze going on right now. Maybe give him a bit of an MMA look too.

Austrailan boxer-obvious Crocodile Dundee look to the guy, he can even deliver a boomerang style of punches.

Either the return of Mr. Dream or Tyson. Preferably Tyson, since I really felt he was always the quintessential guy to build up to. When you give me something like Donkey Kong, I just don't get as excited.

Anyways, that was my list. Post your own or rip on mine.

Bear Hugger was in the last game. I don't know about Mad Clown, he was a little too zany for my taste. I also don't like the fact that a lot of characters in Super Punch Out blatantly used foreign objects. It's one thing to trick someone like Great Tiger would and catch you off guard, but to throw juggling balls or hit you with their hair...that's a little too much. They might be okay, if you decided to take that stuff away. Who's Dudley?

The thing I worry about with bringing characters back is that there was already a lot that was done with them as far as facing them twice in the last game. You'd have to go back and redesign the way they box, and I'm sure that might upset some people. It almost kind of sucks how they used so many of the original characters in the Wii game.

Maybe something they could do is release a Deluxe Edition with double the amount of boxers?

I know, but there was the classic style, then the change up to make it more difficult. This game would have to reinvent the wheel again by making them even more aggressive, or by changing up their routine. It's a shame there's not much of a classic roster en entirely new Wii version with.

I'd like to see a Vietnamese boxer who forces you to play Russian Roulette inbetween rounds as Christopher Walken looks on.

You should be able to box Zed from Pulp Fiction, only to have Maynard blindside you with the butt of his rifle. You wake up facing the gimp, and Doc Louis is in the back room getting raped. You better get ready to land like 8 star punches.

How's this for a roster of stereotypes and other idiocies?
