"The All New? Punch Out!! - The Sandman" hackpart 1/2hack by RatedJpGPeople seem to enjoy my MTPO videos, so I thought I'd share a bit of a gem I stumbled upon through YouTube. This is a showcase of "The All New? Punch Out!! - The Sandman" hack by RatedJpG. The idea apparently was spawned from Team Awesome's submission for the Nintendo Shortcuts contest in 2007, making an older Little Mac receive training from Von Kaiser and come out of retirement to battle (the son of?) Mr. Sandman, represented by King Hippo. IMO, the most incredible entry and well deserving of first place, but it somehow didn't have the backing for a top 10 cut. But, alas, the past is the past. On a side note, their Contra video is entertaining as well and we can expect more from them in the future.This hack is comprised of elements from the original "Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!," Team Awesome's mock trailer, and many characters from "Super Punch Out!!" for the SNES and Nintendo's "Arm Wrestling" for flavor and filler. The videos don't include any mid-round dialogue, character gloat screens, or the ending. I've spoiled enough for you with the videos - now go get the patch.Why do I like it so much? Because it doesn't incorporate any immature nonsense so common in most ROM hacks to which I've been exposed. If it weren't for the existing videos, I probably wouldn't have given it a chance, but I seriously would have missed out. It's just some simple, yet fine-tuned, graphics/text alterations that almost make you feel like you're playing a whole new game, while simultaneously immersed in the original. A lot of game content is left out of my videos, so do yourself a favor if you take the time to play the hack - explore the corner pep-talks between Little Mac and Von Kaiser, in addition to the abrasive, comedic opponent banter.Currently, the only way of obtaining the hack is by getting the patch and hacking the ROM yourself. A simple message to RatedJpG will get the job done. I know this because this is how I got my hands on it.To display the hack, I have used Andrés Delikat's (Adelikat) tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) for the game. I have put up so many videos for "MTPO!!" that I didn't want just another run of me and my collected strategies. Enjoy the inhuman reflexes of the slow-downs, save-states, re-records, and frame-by-frame-advancements that only an emulator could provide. This is not a debate for TAS vs. SPEEDRUN! It's just what I used to show off the ROM.A few more boring notes:1) I cannot provide you with the ROM- Ever! I like my page and don't want it shut down by Nintendo.2) I cannot provide you with the patch.- As I mentioned, the only way (I am aware of) to acquire the patch is through PM and email directly from RatedJpG. It's too awesome for you not to visit his page and see the work first-hand from the source. He gladly provided me with it, and I'm sure he'd do the same for you.3) I won't support your patching the ROM.- It took me eight seconds to figure it out through Google and I'm not sure what the legalities are.But, here are some links for you to guide you on your quest for "The All New? Punchout!!"
