Basically a modern retelling of Rocky 1 but with Little Mac and the diverse cast of opponents from the games.

They're cartoon caricatures that only work via the exaggerated nature of animation.

Otherwise they're just stereotypes.

I'm actually surprised one of the bigger CGI companies hasn't tried to tackle this one.

Pixar or Illumination should really look into it.

Josh Hutcherson would be the perfect Little Mac.

at least after the mario movie they might be more inclined to be faithful to the adaptation. i can easily see it being ruined by them changing and/or removing most of the well-known boxers and replacing them with someone less charismatic or even just bland.

I'd like to see them do it while it's still possible to give Mike Tyson a cameo. Mr. Dream or Mr. Sandman would obviously be the final opponent. But I think it would be fun to have Tyson help to train Little Mac in a cameo scene.

Mac dodges an uppercut, Tyson blocks two body punches, Tyson knocks Mac down with an uppercut. (Which is what happened in the Punch-Out!! commercial.)

They'd have to avoid some stereotypes engrained within the characters, such as Piston Honda's trashtalk being "Sushi, kamikaze, fujiyama, nipponichi..."

Sadly, it's Piston Hondo now. (I guess he was a big fan of John Wayne.)

As for the random nonsense that Piston was muttering under his breath, I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that the programmers probably didn't have any ill-will toward Japanese people. Just a hunch.

Considering they're Japanese probably not

Er...no. Punch-Out!! Wii was developed by Next Level Games, a Canadian studio.

That said, they stereotyped everyone equally, including their own representative, Bear Hugger. They also went out of their way to get native speakers for all the characters. It was all in good fun.

Did the car company threaten to sue?

Not really the same thing but Scott Pilgrim vs The World is kinda what you're looking for

Bear Hugger is from Super Punch Out. They didn't make him up.

He didn't talk (at least not a significant amount) or have a backstory in that game. 95% of his personality is from Wii.

It was probably preemptive.

The Wii version was very respectful to all the cultures used in the game and crafted every character with love.
