I cannot wait to get this game. Also,


Punch Out Wii Supports Balance Board (http://gonintendo.com/?p=76707)

…And we support Punch Out Wii. Man, there is quite a bit of media lately for this title and I am starting to salivate.
Players will be able to use the Wii Balance Board in conjunction with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck to throw punches and dodge and weave at the same time.

Get your gloves on and return to the ring – Punch-Out!! is making a comeback! Originally a hit on the Nintendo Entertainment System back when boxers still fought for 15 rounds, the newest installment in the series comes out swinging on Wii.

An intuitive control scheme takes you closer to the action in the ring than ever before! Unleash hooks, uppercuts and Star Punches by swinging the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, or flip your controller sideways to enjoy the classic NES control scheme.

As big-hearted Bronx brawler Little Mac, you’ll have to launch a one-man assault on the boxing world as you bid to become undisputed champ of the Minor, Major and World ranking organisations. Along the way you’ll lock horns with the likes of Glass Joe, Don Flamenco and the hard-hitting King Hippo. A total of 13 flamboyant fighters stand in your path, every one with a creative new way of trying to make sure you end up face-down on the canvas.

Thankfully, Little Mac can fight back. Armed with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, punching is a simple case of taking a swing at your opponent whilst holding different combinations of buttons. Soften them up with jabs by pressing up on the Nunchuk Control Stick when you punch, or crash home a super-charged Star Punch by holding the C or A Buttons as you let your hands go.

Of course, if you intend to master the sweet science you’ll have to learn how to hit and not get hit. Punch-Out!! calls on you to keep a close eye on your opponents and learn their attack patterns – hopefully leaving them swiping at fresh air and open to a crashing counter. If it all sounds like a lot to remember when the leather starts flying, you’ll be glad to know the game features a helpful tutorial mode to make sure you get to grips with the basics before you climb through the ropes.

Ultimately, you’ll no doubt want to make sure you’re rightfully recognised as the pound-for-pound king of the ring. Punch-Out!! includes a multiplayer mode that lets you and a friend slug it out to the bitter end. As in the single player mode, you’ll want to land punches at the right moment to build up Star Punch points that translate into almighty haymakers! Landing and dodging blows in Head-to-Head mode also builds up a Giga Mac gauge. Once full, your fighter is ready to inflict some serious damage.

Have you always thought you could have been a contender? Then get ready to rumble in the all-action Punch Out!! for Wii.

* Fight it out in Career and Exhibition modes or challenge a friend in Head-to-Head mode.
* Play using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk for a hard-hitting and immersive experience!
* Go retro by holding the Wii Remote sideways like a NES controller and pounding home punches with a simple press of the 1 and 2 Buttons.

The legendary Punch-Out!! is back with a vengeance on Wii, but this time it packs an even bigger punch! Featuring all of the well-known characters from Glass Joe to Von Kaiser, superb duck and weave action, and the addition of enhanced functionality for Wii, the game returns for another assault on Europe on 22 May 2009.

After a flawless fight record on the NES and Super NES, Punch-Out!! revives the story of Little Mac as you follow his journey from up-and-coming boxer in the Bronx, NY to undisputed World champion. The game reunites the much-loved mean men of the World Video Boxing Association, who Little Mac must challenge and defeat one-by-one. The truly international line-up of characters includes all the wacky favourites from Von Kaiser, to King Hippo and tireless trainer Doc Louis.

The game brings the tactics and skills of boxing to Wii as you spot weaknesses in your opponent’s armoury – such as changes in their body position – and exploit them with your best upper cuts, hooks and jabs. However, this time the game packs even more power with bold new 3D graphics and the introduction of the motion sensing controls of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to give a more instinctive boxing experience as you weave, bob and duck your way to the top!

Punch-Out!! on Wii offers great new control opportunities, utilising both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to let you mimic the movements of the left and right hands as you let the leather fly. Meanwhile, the “classic” control system, invites you to use the Wii Remote in a sideways position to simulate the original NES controller and gives the real retro fight feel that Punch-Out!! fans love.

Punch-Out!! Will certainly bring the thrills of the big ring to Wii and will give you the chance to experience fight night in the comfort of your own living room. It’s seconds out and time for round one!

GDC09: Punch-Out!! Wii hands-on (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/03/29/gdc09-punch-out-wii-hands-on/)

Little Mac is definitely back, and he brought Doc Louis with him. He's also hauling a heck of a lot more pixels this time around, and we're happy to report that Punch-Out!! is indeed still fun to play. The Nintendo booth (the largest and lone major gaming publisher on the show floor) was showing off Punch-Out!! on a few stations, although sadly without the Balance Board functionality that's coming to the game.

It did show off four of the thirteen total fighters, including Glass Joe, Von Kaiser, King Hippo, and the newcomer, Disco Kid. He looks like what you'd get if you crossed Mike Tyson with Ric Flair, and pulled him through a Disney movie animation wringer. He likes to primp, check himself out in a mirror, and pose for the crowd. Little Mac learned the lesson about the dangers of vanity long ago, so there's no such worry. Head after the break and start training, Punch-Out!! comes out on the Wii this May.

You're probably wondering if the game feels a lot like Wii Boxing, and that's going to be an obvious comparison for everyone. There's no way around this, because you're throwing your arms out and simulating punches. It'll be that way for any boxing game on the Wii, for all eternity. After about 10 minutes of gameplay, my arms were throbbing, and I felt like I'd just done 30 minutes of Tae-bo. While it's not a bad idea if you're a gamer looking for a workout, an hour or more of this in a row is going to leave you unable to lift a pencil the next day.

Little Mac has a lot more options to punch, dodge, duck, shoot body blows or uppercuts, and he also has special Star Punches. To get a Star you have to hit an opponent in a certain way, with Disco Kid it's after one of his posed punches. Dodge it, wham him, and you've got a star in your meter. Once you've collected one, you can hit the A button while swinging to unleash a devastating punch. Just like in the NES version, you'll lose a star if you get punched.

You can use the Wiimote in Classic Control mode to emulate the old NES controls, or hook up your Nunchuck and go for the whole Motion Control experience. Flick the thumbstick on the nunchuck to the right or left and you'll dodge, pull it down to duck, and push it up to punch your opponent in the face. While the Motion Control version feels fun briefly (and using the Balance Board to dodge punches should be fun... also for about 30 minutes), the classic mode really feels like the Punch-Out!! we know and love.

Nintendo's added in a lot of damage graphics to the opponents that stack up over time: hit them with a lot of body blows, and their midsection will start to turn red and bruise, punch 'em in the face a lot and you'll see black eyes and welts. I mean, just check out the lump on Von Kaiser's face in that main image. It looks like he's a teenager who just hit puberty. The cel-shaded graphics look shiny-cool, the characters move like they're straight out of an anime and it's weird to see these guys not in 8-bit graphics. It would've been nice to see Nintendo offer up a slew of new boxers, while making the old guys unlockable, but hey, it's Punch-Out!!, and it's back. Ding ding ding!

[LuigiD]

hmm..I guess they changed little Mac's appearance?
The game looks bad ass tho. I had the Super Nintendo one. Never beat it though. I always got to the last circuit. The second guy was some Asian fucker who used a stick. I remember me and my friends use to flip shit and yell "WHAT THE FUCK HE IS USING A WEAPON!!"
good times..

[LuigiD]

I just read..thirteen total fighters?
that kinda sucks..

[Funky Fly]

Wouldn't be a Wii game without at least a little disappointment.

[Fignuts]

hmm..I guess they changed little Mac's appearance?



I am not even like punch out nerd guy or anything, but this still angers me for some reason.

[Funky Fly]

I guess that's why he looks like he does in Smash Bros Brawl. He is the Wii version.

[FourFifty]

I just read..thirteen total fighters?
that kinda sucks..

Not totally. Yea, the lack of fighters is a little annoying, but in the Punch Out for the NES you fought Bald Ball, Piston Honda, and the guy who ate the rose (Don Flamingo?) more than once. They could do that again, or do what Punch Out for the SNES did with the last guy and fight his twin (albeit I'd rather see these two guys a few people apart, or just make it an angry older brother).
I don't own a Wii, but if it's like a 360 then there could be DLC for it that gives you more fighters. Who knows? Maybe you'll be able to box your buddy online?
This game has potential. Hell, put it on the Wii Fit board and make footwork part of the game.

I wouldn't say it sucks just yet.... Then again I'm glued Bionic Comando: Rearmed right now and couldn't give a fuck about the Wii unless they came out with another Smash Bros game with the guy from Bionic Comando in the game.

[Funky Fly]

Wii doesn't do game add-ons or good online play.

[OssMan]

What do you mean they changed little mac's appearance what? Yeah he looks different because the last game he was in is 20 years old

[Fignuts]

Guys, stop fueling my silent rage.

[LuigiD]

What do you mean they changed little mac's appearance what? Yeah he looks different because the last game he was in is 20 years old

It's not a big deal but now he looks more like a Hispanic? unless my eyes were fucked up before and I could not tell. Not a big deal really..just wondering why they pulled it off. I remember someone bitching a while back that Nintendo is not multicultural enough.

[OssMan]

He was 8 bit the last time he was in a game. Black people and Asian people looked hispanic in 8 bit

[OssMan]

I guess his eyebrows are less rounded and his eyes are more than black dots? Does this really matter?

Super Punch Out is now on the Virtual Console. I never got into it, just seemed too different than the first.

Bald Bull, fell to him many times in battle

[Dave Youell]

Just for clarification, it's not just 13 fighters

Once you win the title, you have to defend it against all the roster again, only this time they are much harder, the review I read said they lost the title to Glass Joe!

Plus there's loads of mini challenges. Like knock a guy out without blocking etc

That says nothing about more than 13 fighters, just more than 13 fights.

[Dave Youell]

Granted, but you need different ways to beat them the second time round that you did before, just gives it some longevity

Joystiq Review: Punch-Out!! (Wii) (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/18/joystiq-review-punch-out-wii/)

by David Hinkle (http://www.joystiq.com/bloggers/david-hinkle/) { May 18th 2009 at 11:32AM } http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/001featured001.png (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/@featured/) http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/001nintendo001.png (http://nintendo.joystiq.com/)
<!-- sphereit start -->http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/05/punch-out-review-0518.jpg

It's been over 10 years since the last game in the Punch-Out!! (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/punch-out) series -- Super Punch-Out!! (http://nintendo.joystiq.com/2009/03/30/vc-in-brief-super-punch-out-snes/) on the SNES -- was released with a new visual style, a host of new boxers, and some new moves in Little Mac's repertoire. Nintendo has finally provided us with another installment in the series, now with motion-based controls, Balance Board support, and multiplayer. While it ultimately feels like the same game we've played before, it's hard to peg that as a bad thing.

[Note: If you don't feel like battling a whole bunch of text, feel free to enjoy our video synopsis of Punch-Out!! by using your mouse bicep to punch-click this handy link (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/18/joystiq-review-punch-out-wii/#video).]

The big draws for Punch-Out!! on the Wii are motion-based controls and Balance Board support -- and they're a lot more responsive and fun to use than you would find in Wii Sports' boxing mode. With the analog stick controlling your character's movement, it's fairly easy to dodge and take out your opponents. It works, but the game really shines when you're playing with the classic controls.

Punch-Out!! fans will feel right at home once they switch to classic mode. Controls are the same they've been for more than a decade, so you'll be able to get right into the action and enjoy the game. Another reason to choose classic over the Wiimote-and-Nunchuk method is speed, as you'll be a lot faster both dodging and delivering punches. It's a drawback of the motion-based controls, because you can easily push a button faster than it takes you to fake-throw a punch. Also, the motion-based controls may be surprisingly responsive, but that doesn't mean there won't be instances where you accidentally throw a punch or deliver a strike too late, which can be a big problem in the latter parts of the game.

Another issue I had with the game was a sharp increase in difficulty almost out of nowhere. The game is divided into 3 different circuits, and veterans of Punch-Out!! will likely experience what I did: eight boxers who are pushovers and then the last circuit of five, which really jacks up the difficulty. It can be frustrating and tough transition, but it's a lot better than the alternative of the entire game being incredibly easy to conquer.

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/05/punch-out-review-0518vs.jpg


But even after you plow through the circuits there's more to do, as Nintendo has finally figured out how to add replay value to a Punch-Out!! game. There's a Head-to-Head mode, as well as Exhibition matches with scenarios to complete (such as defeat Super Macho Man in Round 1, and TKO or KO Great Tiger using only right jabs). The Head-to-Head mode is fairly fun, and should replace Wii Sports boxing for most folks, but it would have been nice to be able to select different boxers aside from Little Mac.

Nintendo has done a good job of throwing a new coat of paint on Punch-Out!!, but has also taken special care to make sure the core of the experience has not been changed for Wii. This means that fans of the franchise won't feel alienated, and newcomers can easily pick up the Wiimote (and Nunchuk, if that's how they want to roll) and get into the action.

[OssMan]

Pretty good. Old fighters have different strategies so that's interesting. I like how all the foreign guys speak their own language so you kinda have no idea what they're saying. Also there is a ridiculously unnecessary advertisement for Club Nintendo in this game.

[road doggy dogg]

Wait so this is out already? Crap I have to spend money on this instead of buying textbooks now.
crossrine

[FourFifty]

Sorry if this thread was already started, but I couldn't find it.


OH MY FUCKING GOD!! THIS IS THE SINGLE REASON TO OWN A WII!!!! THIS GAME IS MEGA TITS!!!
It's my childhood memories put in a new shiny package. It's a puppy that doesn't shit all over the place. It's calling your grandma who you kinda don't want to talk to on her b-day because you're kinda high and getting her voice mail!!!! Seriously, I love this game!








Hate the Great Tiger, and Bear Hugger was a pain in the ass.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

By couldn't find, do you mean too lazy to scroll two-thirds the way down the first page?

And yes, this game is pretty damn fun.

[FourFifty]

Oh.... Figured with how recent this game is that it would be higher.... and I'd be more sober....

[FourFifty]

This game is badass. All the places over here are sold out, so I rented it. Seriously, oh my god, this is THE reason to own a Wii.

[Funky Fly]

*sigh*

Merger time...

[OssMan]

It is good. The motion controls are fun, but you will probably have to switch to NES style once you reach Soda Popinski, cause it reacts a lot better. The last couple of dudes are really hard and kinda made me stop playing for a little cause it was just frustrating, kinda like Mega Man 9.

Multiplayer is weird, I guess it's just better if you have two people flailing their arms all over the place than actually trying to play.

[Gone Mad]

Great game so far. I'm by Great Tiger. Multi-player is fun, but wish you could use more than just Mac for that.

Also, if you're gonna play it, use the Wii remote, NES-style.

[Savio]

I think i might just rent this

[The Pope]

I steal it when my cousin buys it

[Kane Knight]

*sigh*

Merger time...

Funky Fly...Tard insurance.

Got this today and played it with the balance board and wiimote/nunchuck combo. Freaking awesome, though there's a small learning curve. I figured dodging wouldn't just last a split second. Getting the timing down aside, it's fairly fun.

[G]

This game is really fun. I'm up to Great Tiger. My only complaint is that the music isn't all that loud. Maybe there's an option to turn it up, or maybe it's because it's a burnt game. I DUNNO. Pretty mad I can barely hear the "updated tunes".

[Dorkchop]

This game is awesome. For some reason I got my ass handed to me by Glass Joe while defending the title. I just really sucked today.

I kicked Bald Bull's ass the first time I fought him.

I haven't tried the motion controls yet. Once I finish defending my title I'm going to start a new file for motion controls only.

I can't wait to make it to the secret boxer.

So you don't need the balance board, right?

[Emperor Smeat]

No its not required or needed to play.
I believe the control sets are wiimote on its side , wiimote + nunchuck , classic controller , or wiimote + nunchuck + balance board. The only one I can't remember is if it allows Gamecube controller as an option

I still can't beat Mr Sandman.....

[Soda Popinski]

What?

It is good. The motion controls are fun, but you will probably have to switch to NES style once you reach Soda Popinski, cause it reacts a lot better. The last couple of dudes are really hard and kinda made me stop playing for a little cause it was just frustrating, kinda like Mega Man 9.

Multiplayer is weird, I guess it's just better if you have two people flailing their arms all over the place than actually trying to play.

Funny you said, my friend and I were playing this religiously for a week or two and when we reached Soda we did have to switch to the NES style. The game is awesome tho. The characters are fun, the graphics entertaining and the gimmicks amusing. I like the re-match system you get once you become champion.

My wife just got to Don Flamenco. I don't know if I'm more impressed by the game for keeping her interested, or by her for spending a bunch of time in practice mode to figure it out.

I'm stuck on defending my title against King Hippo. I can beat him by decision at this point, but that's not fun. I want to knock that asshole out. I didn't need any help on the first two Punch Outs and I'll be doing the same for this one. I love figuring out how to beat everyone on my own.

I'm loving Punch Out Wii. I knew I'd like it, but I didn't expect it to be this good. I really like how you fight everyone over again, but they're a lot more difficult. It's almost like there are 26 fighters instead of 13

There's a hidden fighter.
Spoiler that spoils the previous spoiler
It's Donkey Kong
