(Boss 5-Final) Trayvon Tyson's Punch-Out!! Strategy Guide!

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - IT'S THE FINAL BOSS.

It's part of Punch-Out!! culture to sit around on the playground exchanging tips to progress further in the game. Because I'm the kid everyone on the playground wants to be around, I'm taking it upon myself to be the definitive source for all things Trayvon Tyson's Punch-Out!!. So there are five bosses in the game, and I'm going to tell you all how to succeed against them. I'll only detail their moves — I don't want to spoil the entire experience for you!

The Birds of Gaming on the Festival of Lights

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - The holiday of turkey meets a Menorah.

It is a very rare occurrence that the first day of Chanukkah is on the same day as Thanksgiving. To commemorate this rare occasion, KoopaTV is going to honour nine birds (for the nine prongs on the Chanukkah Menorah) that made quite an impression on us. From videogames, of course.

Don't light the candles.

From left to right: Falco Lombardi (Star Fox), King Dedede (Kirby), Rawk Hawk (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door), Squawks (Donkey Kong Country), Captain Vul (Kirby Super Star), Chatot (Pokémon), Polly (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney), Staraptor (Pokémon), and Medli (The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker).

Honourable mentions: Kazooie (Banjo-Kazooie) and Dyna Blade (Kirby).


Have a happy Thanksgiving to all of KoopaTV's American readers. Have a cheery Chanukkah to all of our Jewish readers. If you're not in either of those categories, then feel free to look at any other article on the site.


For Thanksgiving in 2014, KoopaTV expresses their thanks.
For Thanksgiving in 2015, it's not even on Thanksgiving.
For Thanksgiving in 2016, Ludwig expresses his thanks.
For Thanksgiving in 2017, KoopaTV gets rid of a staffer.

KoopaTV's Semi-Live Reactions to Nintendo Direct 11/27/13! (With Pics!)

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Going to rob the Louvre to save the company.

Rawk already had watched the Nintendo Direct by this time, but... I didn't! So... Yeah! Nintendo 3DS Guide: Louvre is coming to the Nintendo eShop. I'm Nintendork 13 13, and RawkHawk2010 is... himself. As usual.

Lessons of the New Nintendo Video

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Loosening standards.

I have been saying since the 2DS was announced that the system redesign represents Nintendo no longer pressuring developers to incorporate 3D into their games, which saves on development costs. My first and only given example was Pokémon X/Y (which I still don't have yet, so stop asking). I'm here to report another Nintendo-driven example: Nintendo's "Nintendo Video" application on the 3DS.

WINNERS ANNOUNCED: Gotta Catch 'Em All!

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Exemplary customer service.

As of November 2nd, the Winner's List in The Pokémon Company International's "Gotta Catch 'Em All" sweepstakes was empty. This is in direct contradiction to the contest's Official Rules PDF, which clearly states that the final winners will be chosen around October 14, and every week for three weeks before that for those previous winners. It also states:

"The winner list will be posted after winner confirmation is complete".

Dual Destinies DLC (Turnabout Reclaimed) Is Out!

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Go get it. And the whole game.

Let's suppose you're a new reader to KoopaTV. Well, welcome to KoopaTV. I'm Ludwig. I write here. One of my favourite series is the Ace Attorney series. There's a cool navigational feature on the blog called the Terms Index. If you look at it, perhaps you'll notice all the times I talk about Ace Attorney, especially compared to maybe YOUR favourite series. ...Unless your favourite series is also Ace Attorney. Then you should already know that the promised DLC featuring Phoenix Wright, a pirate, and a killer whale is now out for $5.99. Don't have Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies yet? That's $29.99 for 5 cases. So yeah, the DLC is fairly priced. See more for Capcom's PR about the case.

(Boss 4) Trayvon Tyson's Punch-Out!! Strategy Guide!

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Now republished and rewritten.

It's part of Punch-Out!! culture to sit around on the playground exchanging tips to progress further in the game. Because I'm the kid everyone on the playground wants to be around, I'm taking it upon myself to be the definitive source for all things Trayvon Tyson's Punch-Out!!. So there are five bosses in the game, and I'm going to tell you all how to succeed against them. I'll only detail their moves — I don't want to spoil the entire experience for you! And note, that this article DOES spoil the game.

Congress and Remedial Algebra

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Let's see the responses.

In an earlier article here on KoopaTV, I swore that I'd give a link to that KoopaTV article and to Jessie Go Jr. Remedial Algebra to every member of Congress and to the White House. So I did, using One Click Politics. Here's what I sent. Over a month ago.

Console Wars and Us Vs. Them

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - How would KoopaTV be back in the SEGA-Nintendo War?

Full disclosure here: This article was inspired by this GameFAQs Top 10 List titled "The Top 10 Things That The Next Generation Of Gamers Won't Get To Experience" by darkknight109. It's a really good read. But to the point: This blog was partially born from the idea of industry events as entertainment and the creation of facetious analysis. However, as that Top 10 list points out,  

“Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft aren't shy about blowing their own horns and touting their successes, as any large corporation is wont to do, but - with only a few notable exceptions - they conspicuously avoid taking more than the occasional pot-shot at one another.”
