Punch-Out!! for Wii - Official Thread...

[heybtbm]

I'm pretty confident I'll be removing "rumor" from the title in a few days. In other news...it's about damn time!

Score! But will we have Little Mac? And its time Mario became a ref again!

Give me GameCube controller support, or motion controls that don't completely suck (Unlikely), and I might actually buy a Wii game for the first time in six months (No More Heroes).

I would prefer the standard 2 button control setup (aka. old-school NES button control via the Wiimote). Who needs more than left punch, right punch, and a button for the super punch. Unfortunately, Nintendo is going to try to use the motion controls and miss an outstanding opportunity to make an EXTREMELY approachable Punchout game via old-school controls. It would sell Nintendo.......YOU HEAR ME NINTENDO.......IT WOULD SELLLLLL!

I'm hoping for some new IPs. Enough of this rehashed stuff already

Punch-Out is one of the few Nintendo IPs that hasn't been rehashed into oblivion already. I'd welcome this one, although it still wouldn't get me to buy a Wii.

new punch-out would be awesome.next should be pro wrestling and wild gunman

[scooterb23]

I want the original arcade game as an unlockable.

I'd be very happy to get a Punch-Out!! game for the Wii, but I hope the part about the Wii Fit balancing board isn't true. I don't want to have to (nor will I) waste money and space on yet more useless peripherals just to be able to play Punch-Out.

Here, here. I'll be fine if the balance board support is there but optional, however if it's required, I think it's outright dumb. I will however buy it because my wife wants Wii-fit anyway. If she wasn't already getting the board though, I would NOT buy it jsut to play this game. I'm sick of special controllers.

If people just wanted the old school controls, wouldn't they just simply download the NES game for five bucks?

EA is also releasing a Punch-Out-style boxing game for the Wii called FaceBreaker K.O. Party:

IGN - FaceBreaker K.O. Party

I'm looking forward to it.

Same here. I've been waiting for a new Punch-Out!! for two generations, but I will not get the balance board just to play this. If it's required I will pass, which pains me to say.

Any chance this might still come out? It wasn't announced today.

If the game had a new set of boxers on top of old classics with new moves then the market would buy it. Deep down, Punch Out is a fast action puzzle game through and through. You have to figure out how to defend against a uniform set of moves while exploiting a uniform set of weakness' on the other fighter's body. Too many buttons or movement controls would make this puzzle too cumbersome.

Aren't there 2 more days left of E3? People keep complaining that NOTHING good has been shown today or yesterday (not saying you are one of those people). Why would they reveal everything on their first day?

Bump.

Common sense has ruled this day. Classic "NES-style" controls for Punch-Out Wii! THANK YOU NINTENDO!

Wow, it says it's coming out in May. Nintendo needs to hype this up more, this should easily be their biggest release of the year, but it's very quiet. It belongs on the cover Nintendo Power.

[chicnstu]

I'm glad they gave us the option, I haven't managed to get into larger motion controls yet (so far I enjoy simple things like Monkey Ball).

If Motion Plus had already been out, there probably would have been less of a chance of NES controls. But without Motion Plus, even though I probably wouldn't use it, hopefully the motion boxing works well.

This is awesome. I can't wait!

Is it possible to hook an NES controller to the wii? It'd be worth it for this game.

Yes....

[demen999]

I am sooo getting this!

[Zap!]

Yes....

That's cool, but since it plugs into the Gamecube port, won't it only work with games compatable with GC controllers?

Wow, if Punch-Out for the Wii also has the same control schem as the NES and SNES Punch-Out games have, then this is great news i must say! Thanks for posting this!
