Outside of first-party Nintendo titles, the Wii hasn’t been home to the most graphically superior games. MadWorld, Monster Hunter 3, and The Conduit are a few products that come to mind, but there aren’t a ton of other titles that stand out visually. However, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers’ character designer Toshiyuki Itahana believes that he’s working on one third-party game that is pushing Wii graphics to their “fullest potential.”

“We were extra careful about things like making sure to including exciting and heroic highlight scenes at regular intervals in the scenario, and using the visual capabilities of the Wii [console] to its fullest potential. Even right now, and for as long as time permits, the development team will continue to pour their efforts into the presentation and sound for a final product that looks and feels great.”

This is obviously an incomplete listing, as titles such as FFCC: The Crystal Bearers are absent.

Did you know that the original Punch-Out!! has a 22-year-old secret? Well, apparently it does, and Nintendo is finally ready to share it with gamers. Makato Wada, who was part of the development team that ported the arcade versions of Punch-Out!! to the NES and SNES, took part in the latest Iwata Asks interview and spoke about the secret.

Wada
This is a great opportunity, so I have something I’d like to say. In Punch-Out!!, the game gives you a lot of hints about effective timing of punches. There is a big boxer called Bald Bull in the NES version as well and a light flashes to the right in the audience when he charges. If you punch when it flashes you will land a body blow.

Tanabe
What? Really?

Wada
No one has known about that for about 22 years…

Everyone
(laughter)

Wada
I was wondering when I would have a chance to tell people that.

Iwata
You’ve been holding that information for 22 years since the release. (laughs)

Wada
Now that I had the chance. (laughs) There are a lot of hidden elements in the NES version.
