Wii Punch-Out!! Holy cow… somehow I always knew Nintendo would revisit the franchise, but I’m still having a hard time believing it right now. Not only is a new Punch-Out!! game coming, but it actually looks just the Super Nintendo game, only in 3D. Genius.
And that music. Somehow that music has transcended the game so much so that when I heard it, I felt it in my soul. I had to stop and think if that was even really the Punch-Out!! music. It’s just so iconic and so damn awesome. Let’s hope Next Level games, who we are trying to get an interview with, does this game right. The real question though is whether this game is before or after Captain Rainbow. Inquiring minds need to know!
Wait, you punch the French guy… And croissants go flying?

I feel you on the music. It’s just awesome. It’s so midi and low quality - but that’s why it feels like the original track. So nostalgic and good. The animations even have that same delayed timing of the original game, and I love the over the top K.O. animations it had. Flying croissants? Genius!

Makes you wonder what things the other boxers will bleed out; I hope you can punch car parts out of Piston Honda. Also, I should be taking bets on what Nintendo characters are going to be hiding in the audience.

The boxers apparently have almost exactly the same patterns as in the original game, which is cool, but it really makes me hope that there are new boxers too, or else it’ll get old pretty fast.

Looks good. Doesn’t look like a lot of detail was put into the game. It looks suited to be a WiiWare title. I agree with Jam, please include some new characters!

Indeed, maybe some of them from Super Punch-Out!! or even some characters from other Nintendo games. Perhaps Donkey Kong - he’s had experiences with boxing gloves, even if it was for baseball.
