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 back stories 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 has their own back story and patterns of attacks to learn and learns 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.

A Knockout 29 May 2009
Fun:   
Pros:

+Really fun art style
+Simple to play, yet difficult to master
+Addictive music
+Addictive gameplay
+Different ways to play

Cons:

-Competing in multiplayer can only be done as Little Mac
-There's no online multiplayer, but I really don't think that's a big deal

Those who owned the original NES probably got a chance to play the original Punch-Out. At the time the game was incredibly awesome and incredibly difficult. There was also a Super Punch-Out for the SNES, but after that there was never another game. With the Wii's motion sensor controls, however, it's amazing we didn't get a Punch Out game for the system sooner. Wii Sports has already established that a boxing game is perfect for the Wii. Punch-Out for the Wii makes it possible.

If you were one of those people who played Punch-Out for the original NES, then you'll be right at home when playing it on the Wii. It's instantly familiar. A lot of the competitors are the same, and they look very much the same. So is Little Mac. And the gameplay is just about the same as well. If you were a veteran of the old games you'll find that playing Punch-Out for the Wii is like returning to visit an old friend after a few years. There's a lot that will start coming back to you.

As Little Mac, you'll step into the ring and take on a grand total of 13 fighters. Just like the original Punch-Out, there's a bit of pattern recognition going on. Making the right moves at the right time, and watching your opponent are the keys to winning. While it's not quite Wii Boxing in terms of making punches and whatnot, it is quite a challenging game. Especially your first time through. And it's still pretty addictive. All you really need to do is watch your foe and make sure you make your punches accordingly. You've also got Stars that you obtain by punching your opponents at the right time (when they flash). This allows you to use Star Punches which really pack a wallop.

It's got simple gameplay that you'll find incredibly addictive for a while. You might, however, find the main campaign to be a little short. And indeed, it is. But the game does have a few things that help it along. For example, after going through all the fighters once, you'll have to do it again to defend your title, but the fights won't be the same. They'll be more challenging, having more moves and moving faster and requiring you to take on different tactics than before.

Aside from that there is also the exhibition mode where you go up against the fighters but pertaining to specific conditions. Again, simple gameplay, but it can be very challenging to figure out just how to complete some of the conditions.

There are a few ways one can control Punch-Out for the Wii. The first, and most obvious, is to use the Nunchuck and Wii Remote so that you can swing them to make punches if you wish. You can also use the balance board for ducking and dodging. Lastly, you can use just the Wii Remote by itself and play like the original NES title. Of all the control schemes using the Wii-Remote like a classic NES controller is the best, and that's pretty sad. The game is fun with the other control modes, but it's hard to doubt that it's just a lot easier to pick up and play with the classic controller approach. On the other hand, it's nice that we're not playing a Wii game where the Wii Controls feel tacked on.

Another addition to Punch-Out is that people can now play multi-player. This is a really nice addition. Two people can now go at it. They'll both play as Little Mac, though, and this is probably the biggest complaint concerning multi-player. It would be so much better if players could choose between any of the opponents to play as and go head to head. It would make Punch-Out the perfect party game. There's also no online multi-player but I doubt most gamers will lose sleep over that.

For a Wii Game Punch-Out looks pretty good. It's artistic style has often been fairly popular. Punch-Out is, and pretty much always will be a cartoony like game. And it's definitely true of the Wii version, which makes Punch-Out come alive the way it should. It still sounds very good as well. There are some nostalgic tunes thrown in there, but mostly it just suits Punch-Out.

For old fans of the Punch-Out series, this is like a thank you gift. They're more apt to enjoy than someone who has never played it before. If you're new to the series, this isn't really all that bad to play at all, and you might find yourself becoming addicted.

By R. Wood TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Fun:   
Compile a list of Nintendo's traditional and best series of games for their generations of consoles and you're going to get the obvious titles like Super Mario, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., Metroid, Star Fox, Pokemon, The Legend of Zelda and Kirby. Punch Out is one of those series that may not be that well known compared to the others, but it's nevertheless one of Nintendo's biggest and popular series of games.

In a nutshell, Punch Out is Nintendo's boxing franchise. You punch your way up through the ranks of pro circuits, ploughing through opponent after opponent all in aim to become the champion. Punch Out is a great cartoon of a slugfest with radical toon-like boxers and unforgettable stereotypes with a simple, highly addictive and enormously fun control system. It was a huge hit in the arcades and utterly brilliant on both the NES and SNES.

Perhaps the reason why Punch Out may not be as memorable as Nintendo's other series of games is that it faded into obscurity somewhat. After all, there were NO Punch Out games for the N64 or the GameCube. But in any event, absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder with the Wii incarnation of Punch Out, which is simply another absolute winner that Nintendo have given us for this wonderful console.

True to the spirit of the series, Punch Out pits you, Little Mac (the only boxer you can play as), against all manner of stereotype comic characters, each one getting harder and harder as you progress through Career Mode. Each fight consists of three rounds, each lasting three minutes. Knock your opponent out three times in a round, or score a TKO, and you win. If after all three rounds there's no clear winner, it goes down to a ref's decision based on who performed the strongest.

How does it work? Well, there are three control methods for players to choose from. It's either Wii Remote and Nunchuk, or just the Wii Remote on it's own. Both of these options can be supported by the Wii Balance Board, if you choose to use it. And these control options are what help to give the gameplay it's incomparable depth.

Starting with the Wii Remote on it's own, you hold it like you would a joypad, using the D-pad to block, weave from side-to-side and duck, and using the 1 and 2 buttons to jab/uppercut left and right. It's done in the simplicity of the old NES controls which is simply brilliant. Instead of radically tinkering with the winning formula of Punch Out, Nintendo have opted to keep the simplicity of the controls for the Wii version. It's really easy to get into and quick to master, all the while being completely addictive. For die-hard gamers who want to master all the challenges, crush all opponents in record time or simply want to relive the NES/SNES glory days, using the Wii Remote on it's own is ideal and perhaps the easiest control option to use.

However, using the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk is UNDOUBTEDLY the most fun of the control options on offer. In typical Wii Motion control fashion, using the Remote and the Nunchuk means when you punch in your room, Little Mac is throwing punches the instant you do. Swinging the Remote forward throws the right, swinging the Nunchuk forward throws the left. Using the Nunchuk's analogue stick will help Little Mac perform extra moves; Up for block/uppercuts, left/right for weaving and down for ducking.

The Remote/Nunchuk option is what will really makes this game a hit at parties. Even if you're playing on your own, you'll get so much fun and exercise out of this. It's true to what Nintendo have brilliantly done with the Wii, and that's come up with brand new ways to make gaming more innovative and combine it with exercise, ergo, making it more fun.

Combining this with the Balance Board will also make things more deep. You use the board to weave and duck, really adding to the exercise experience and making you feel as though you're in a real boxing match. As I said earlier, using the board IS optional, and although it makes things more difficult, it can make things even more fun when mastered.

The game itself has just as much depth, what with the Career, Exhibition and Head-to-Head Modes. The sheer variety of colourful opponents exemplifies what makes the fun-factor so worthwhile. Fans of the series will be pleased that old favourites like Glass Joe, King Hippo and Piston Hondo are back. And each fight will really test your strategy. Throwing reckless punches will just tire you out and leave you easy-pickings for a KO/TKO. All fighters perform differently, and will make you think fast on your feet, as you try to determine their next moves/study their patterns. Because all fights are unique, you'll really get a challenge out of Career Mode. Going through the Contender path is reasonably straight forward, but once you've beaten that and are on Title Defence, you'll face the same opponents again, having learnt from their losses and picked up some new tricks, making them even more dangerous second-time round. This all speaks so highly of the game's AI.

Exhibition is also wonderful in that it allows you to safely practice against opponents so you have a sporting chance in Career. There're also special challenges to accomplish against the boxers which provides even more replay value. And for two players, Head-to-Head provides another thrill, what with the option to transform Little Mac into Giga Mac to beat your friend/fellow family member into the ground.

Graphically, Punch Out is a beautiful cartoon brought to life. Sound-wise, the reinvention of vintage NES music, the voice-acting and the various music tracks make for fantastic listening. All-in-all, it's a total package. Punch Out is something that all kids and adults will be sucked into. One of the most essential titles to get for the Wii.

Fun:   
a old game updated for the Wii, we all know how much of a recipe for disaster this can be, however thats way off the mark in this case.
What an absolute blast, and in my opinion different and better than Wii Sports Boxing.
From the very offset , graphics (for the Wii!) and sound are impressive and work well together. Menu navigation is quick and 'punchy' between screens, with few if any delays.(usually only after a fight ends)
Ok some can be blocky (480p with cable) but thats to be expected and in no way detracts from the game. In game graphics while fighting are top notch and very slick.Each new release shows just how much better developers are at getting the best from the Wii.

Controls work well (nunchuck and wiimote together) as I preferred to be more involved in the game, havent yet tried pad only. Your arms still hurt lol.
Just throwing your arms around isnt going to win you any fights in this game. Tactical assessment of your opponent them whallop them in the weak spots.

A thoroughly enjoyable game that surprised me. Great for all ages.
One to definitely add to your collection
