Punch-Out!! getting lag issues on HDTVs
If you’ve just downloaded the Virtual Console version of Punch-Out!! and you’re getting ready to start punching the lights out of Bald Bull (who bears a resemblance to Charles Barkley, by the way) on your HDTV, you better read this first.
Various reports from around the Internet have surfaced recently, and all of them are pointing towards some lag problems when the game is played on an HDTV set. The lag is apparently so bad that it has rendered the game “virtually unplayable,” as Game|Life’s Chris Kohler puts it. There’s still hope for Punch-Out!!, though, so don’t give up just yet.
This is easily remedied if you have a standard-definition television, though. According to GameSpot, only HDTVs have been reported to be messing with the game’s precision timing, so just connect your Wii to a standard TV and the lag should be gone. There have also been reports that some HDTV owners aren’t having any problems with the game, so it could also depend on the model.
