Description

One of the biggest names in boxing returns after a 15-year hiatus. In Punch-Out!! you play as young up-and-coming fighter Little Mac who, with the help of his ringside trainer Doc Lewis, is working his way through the ranks of a wide variety of boxing caricatures, each with their own patterns of attacks. Grab a Wii Remote controller in one hand and a Nunchuk controller in the other and step back into the ring with a modern update of the classic Punch-Out!!

Little Mac Is Back
Everyone’s favorite underdog from the 1980s joins the best of the original Punch-Out!! cast in a modern re-imagining of the series. Players will find familiar names like Glass Joe, King Hippo and trainer Doc Louis. These boxers come to life again in cell-shaded 3-D, complete with hilarious fighting animations and backstories that capture all the fun and flair of the original Punch-Out!! games.

The Wii's Motion Sensitivity
The motion-sensitive controls of the Wii console mean that when players throw punches, Little Mac throws punches as well. Additionally, you can control hooks and jabs by combining motion control with control-stick movement. The motion-sensing Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers turn real-life swings into on-screen punches, so anyone can play. The game can also be played with classic NES-style controls by turning the Wii Remote sideways.

Characters
Punch-Out!! features a total of 13 opponents for Little Mac to step into the ring with. 12 of which are returning from previous games in the Punch-Out!! series. Each have their own backstory and patterns of attacks to learn and learn to counter. Just a few of the characters you can expect to see are:

Little Mac from 'Punch-Out!!' Little Mac
Small but extremely game, Little Mac is a young, up-and-coming fighter, who with the help of his trainer, ex-champion Doc Lewis, has set his sights on working his way through the ranks.
Glass Joe from 'Punch-Out!!' Glass Joe
A fearful French fighter due to his extremely weak chin, Glass Joe will crumple to the mat quickly with just a few well-placed shots, making him an easy mark and a good warm-up for the fighters to follow.
King Hippo from 'Punch-Out!!' King Hippo
King Hippo is both huge and an immensely powerful fighter, but can be weakened with the right combinations to the head and body, giving you time to go for the knockout if you can survive his onslaught.
Von Kaiser from 'Punch-Out!!' Von Kaiser
An old-timey fighter whose rumored childhood difficulties have left him eager to dish out punishment in the ring, Von Kaiser is a dangerous opponent, but one who will turn tail if you can find his weakness.

Special Attacks
Players can obtain special 'Star Punches,' which allow Little Mac to take more health from his rival in a single punch. Players can now use multiple stars in a single punch for an extra-powerful attack.

Controller Options
Punch-Out!! features multiple controller options. For players looking to take advantage of the Wii's motion control capabilities, Punch-Out!! uses the Wii Remote and Nunchuck controllers to simulate throwing punches. Use the Nunchuck to throw a left punch and the Wii Remote to throw a right punch. Fans of the NES version and core gamers will be excited to see Nintendo has also included the option to play Punch-Out!! using the classic layout from the original NES controller. Use the 1 and 2 buttons along with the cross pad to throw hooks and jabs or to dodge.

Not all that I wanted...

I was looking for a fun way to get off my rear and exercise. This wasn't it, but as a game it was pretty cool to play the old game with updated graphics.

fun game

the game is cool, more fun when playing against others of course. I'm not that far, but hopefully I will get to face my long time nemesis from back in the day...Bald Bull. grrr...

Decent

I liked this game, but I am a little disappointed. I bought it hoping for an upgrade from the Wii sports boxing game. It delivered, sort of...if you are like me you might be looking at this game thinking you can get some realistic boxing action in. If that is so, don't buy it. In fact lower your standards. In the 2 monthes or so of owning a Wii I have discovered that some things are just beyond it's capabilities. It's a great system and a lot of fun, but I was expecting more. Punch Out brought me back to my youth and I enjoyed that, but using the nunchuck and the control can be frustrating when facing some of the tougher opponents and I soon found myself relying on the wand/remote option. I'm not all that patient when struggling with a game so keep that in mind. Anyway, if you are looking for a pretty decent, very nostalgic game that you will probably wind up playing while sitting on your backside, then buy punchout. If you wanted to get some exercise and have a more realistic boxing experience, pass on this one. Also like I said you might need to lower your standards.

good indoor workout, can have more move controls

Good calorie burner. Using nunchuk button for duck,dodge,etc. is irritating.
All in all, good calorie burner in Wii games stable.
