You have my vote, Jon.
No offense Holmes but it were up to me I wouldn't let you review any Wii games period. You tend to give pretty biased reviews. That's my opinion though let me make that clear before people start having a coronary and shouting insults in my direction, not safe anymore on dtoid to let your opinion be known.
@Chronoswing: It's not safe to give your opinion about anything on the internet.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're not just super special, you've got that extra duper in there as well? Damn it, then you've got my vote, but only if you also have to review something extraordinarilly shitty in the future as well. Something that Dtoid normally wouldn't even bother reviewing. Something that looks painfully bad. Y'know, to even things out...
I'd like to see a combo Chad Concelmo/Jon Holmes review.
@ Chronoswing- Thanks for sharing your opinion, but tell me this; what are you really basing this opinion on?
Did you think I was biased in giving House of the Dead: Overkill a 7/10? Or was it my 6/10 review of Samba de Amigo that made you think that I love every Wii game NO MATTER WHAT!!!
Objectivity
I second manasteel's suggestion.
Concelmo/Holmes in '09!
@Manasteel88-Agreed. I came here to say that but you beat me to it.
Since there seems to be a love/hate relationship with Punch-Out, I think Reverend Anthony (Loves Super Punch Out), Chad Concelmo, and Jonathon Holmes should review it.
Holmes for PunchOut Wii Review!
i Vote Present!
I dunno, you seem to be basing a lot of this on super punch out which really is just a remake of the arcade punch out games as far as characters and mechanics.
The new punch out looks to me like a remake of Mike Tyson/Mr Dream punch out on the NES. The "heart" counter determining how many punches you can throw and turning purple when you run out, the 3 stars worth of knock out punches you earn by hitting the opponent at the right time.
How do your skills stack up on original punch out? Hmm Mr Holmes? HMMMMM?
I would like to see you and another editor do a duel review! But not solo :)
No! Holmes is a biased Wii fanboy! Shun him! Shun!
I took out Bruiser in one second, using Splash Attack.
Beat that.
I believe this is the first time I've ever experienced trash can envy.
ASSHEAD!
Gee, I'm really touched at how seriously some of you are taking this!
Thanks guys!
To be clear though, there really is no real way to "vote" for me. I just love Super Punch-Out!! (and to a lesser extent, regular Punch-Out!!) a whole lot, and wanted an excuse to blog about it.
Specifically, I wanted an excuse to make a gif of that woman punching herself in the side of her boob and blog about that.
@ Zombie Platypus- I should have the review of WarioWare Snapped done in the next couple of days. It's probably the worst game I've ever had to review.
Associated with Freezepop +1
Enjoys Super Punch-out -1
Cat's game.
Its a Wii game, thats totally your territory. Thanks for the Blu-Blockers!
Yeah you got my vote, your passionate about the Wii like my one friend. And Im not trying to make a sexual innuendo here, Im being serious. Im sure he would agree with me that you should review punch out. Enjoy.
The Trash Can Make The Trick, You have won the Internets. Also, my Vote
@Holmes
No it's not that, I'm still butt hurt about your Dead Rising Wii reviews, I just can't fathom how that game deserves anything more than a 1/10.
You know how much I slobber over your reviews. Our tastes in games are so similar and you have a way of getting right to the root of what makes a game fun or unique. But I dare you to grade this game less than an 8 if it deserves it.
@ brainderailment: There's no such thing as an objective reivew. That's a PR key word.
I third Gatorsax2010 and Manastell88's comments.
I love me some Chad reviews, and I love me some Holmes reviews, but if the two were combined?
I'd have a heart attack because of the amazingness.
I vote for Niero.
Johnny is my man for this.
AssHead 2009!
But can you take Nick-Chester in a fistfight?
You already do most of the Wii reviews that I see, so I hope people don't hold that against you.
Either way, talking about Super Punch Out!! when this game seems to be a remake of NES Punch Out!! seems a bit odd :D.
You have my vote due to the trashcan; it just exemplifies your love of Punch Out!!, and i'd rather have an obviously passionate Punch Out!! fan (that's going to be able to compare it to past iterations) do it than deal with a possible half-hearted review.
You can have my vote if you do a video review and call Reggie Fils-Aime a "meaty cunt."
Why don't you go play Ready 2 Rumble Revolution and Don King Boxing first? ;)
I'd fear that you'd be biased. :O(
However, on a brighter note, why don't you review it on the C-Blogs? I promise I'll read it. :O)
Snapped is that bad, huh? That's great news for me, since that's the only DSi game I was bummed about missing out on...
I think you should review all the Wii games on Destructoid. You have my vote.
"I'm super, duper special."
Yep, you're always super special.
You got my Vote brother.
I would vote, but where???
If it isn't an actual vote, but if the community demands it then I DEMAND HOLMES TO REVIEW!!!
Every editor should write one sentence about it. Revolution in reviews!!!
There is only one reason why we shouldn't : Your a fanboy and you're obviously going to ignore its flaws because it's on thw Wii , but I can THINK of voting if you post a pic of yourself in these recent years and when you were black ... (for comparsion means)
Naim
He is a fanboy now???
I thought he just didn't like SF:IV......
@Vexed, your statement is true. 100% objectivity is impossible, but if you read the blog, I'd say he has a tiny bias somewhere in there.
I'd rather have Holmes review a Wii game than someone else. At least I know where he's coming from, and can take his criticisms seriously. If HE says something is bad, then it must be shit-ass awful.
ass head...i know god has already spoken these fine words, but, Ass head!
If you cover the NES style controls, you can have my vote. I'm more interested in that control scheme.
I would love to see a Conclemo/Holmes team for this review.
@ Brainderailment- Are you saying that because I'm excited about Punch-Out!!, that I'm biased towards it?
That's silly!
If anything, my excitement may be setting my expectations too high for the game to ever deliver. I was really excited for Street Figther IV, House of the Dead: Overkill, and Resident Evil 5 as well, and I'm actually worried that I appreciated all three of those games less because of it. They didn't live up to my expectations. If I hadn't been thinking about them day and night for years, I may not have been disappointed.
@ Nilcam- I promise that whoever reviews the game for Dtoid, the NES style controls will be covered. I'm pretty sure that's how we all plan on playing the game.
