    i dunno but for one that sort of already happened, "Thunder Ray" is a spiritual remake of the shitty, unofficial punch out sequel "Power punch 2". More indies should do this, take a shitty game that failed and remake it as a good spiritual successor.

    I finished every opponent in Thunder Ray (excluding DLC) this game is A S S S S S S S S - unreliable damage states - unreadable attacks - inconsistent attacks - seizure inducing - gorey for shock value - AI generated voices (allegedly)

    Offline! Thunder Ray is fun! The art looks great and the game is pretty challenging. It is short, but there is DLC. I hope there is a sequel in the works! Sent the raid to PenniLopi! www.twitch.tv/pennilopi

    Funnily enough, the pitch of Little Mac fighting the galaxy veers quite close to the game Thunder Ray. A game that seems to mostly have had a mixed response. So, ample opportunity for some Ninty spit & polish on the idea.

    And that's Thunder Ray. I really enjoyed it, as I was quite happy to play another game like Punch Out, and this one is pretty good. The hand drawn animations and the enemy designs are pretty great, and the game feels great to control. That being said, the fight design feels a litte inconsistent like

    @criscrosspoints.bsky.social Hear me out. Thunder Ray Vs Homelander. He’s the main character of the punch out style game Thunder Ray, which I also believe is inspired by power punch two.

    Super Punch-Out!! Is a top 5 all time game over here. I love it so much. It’s perfect arcade fun. I’d love to see a modern, expanded take on it. And I grabbed Thunder Ray on sale a while back, but only played a few minutes for reasons I can’t remember.

    To be fair, I don't have a lot of experience with them, maybe someone has captured the magic of punch out, and I just haven't found that game yet But Thunder Ray was fine, not terrible, but not great either The demo for Leftovers KO (or Rise of the Leftovers at the time I played it) wasn't really

    And this is even assuming they bother including the disclaimer in the first place, there's a punch-out style game called Thunder Ray that uses extremely obvious AI narration and it's not disclosed anywhere on the storefront

    ‘Baki Hanma: Blood Arena’ Is a ‘Punch-Out!!’-Styled Game by the Folks That Made ‘Thunder Ray’ and I’m Speechless While Nintendo has been hesitant to make a new Punch-Out!! game, Purple Tree games was happy to step in and deliver a kick-ass successor. Thunder Ray is a gorgeo… #media #news #nintendo

    Whelp, that's Thunder Ray, have to say I appreciate the challenge. I can see how some people could be put off from the difficulty, but the DLC makes up for the crushing difficulty of the main game and makes you feel like the flat top sporting boxing legend you are. Like the thunder.

    Big Boy Boxing on the other hand, has style and charm in droves. Fantastic punch out clone that actually captures what made that game great. Can't wait for the full game to drop. (low-key, i think i liked this demo better than the game Thunder Ray, another punch out clone)

    Just finish Thunder Ray, a game from last year that’s highly stylized and plays like an old school, arcade boxing game. My first in the genre, and maybe not the last. I played it mostly on Rookie but that final boss… woof. I haven’t been forced to git gud like that in a long while.
