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.

3 out of 5 stars only one shortcoming   July 27, 2010
Brian Hess (Ohio)
This game is a lot of fun. My whole family enjoys playing it. The biggest drawback is that there isn't a setting for left-handed people. I hold the remote in my left hand for all my Wii games and it isn't usually a problem. As a matter of fact, this is the only game that causes any issues. If I hold the remote and nunchuck as I would naturally, then my left hand swings Mac's right arm. It's difficult to just switch hands since you use the stick on the nunchuck for different things durring the game. Even Wii sports has a setting for lefties so, to me, this is a unacceptable oversight. I've stopped playing the game and the only reason I haven't traded it is because my boys like it. I wish a patch or something could be done to fix this issue. The characters have a lot of personality are fun just to watch. If you get into the boxing it can be a workout, too.

I bought these game for my younger brother. We got it on a Friday night and buy Sunday night he had already passed 95% of the game. He said it was so much fun he couldn't stop. It took him the rest of the week to complete the game, but he said it was worth it.

The game has awesome graphics, cool sound effects, and lots of surprising challenges. I really can't get into all the details but this game was definitely a very good purchase!

Even better than I remembered as a kid. Making the actual punches makes it even more fun than the original.


5 out of 5 stars Best Game for the Wii...   June 17, 2010
Daniel J. Silva (Salt Lake City, UT)
Hours and hours of fun. Very accurate boxing with a large dose of nostolga. The two player mode is to die for.


2 out of 5 stars Why the gay boxer?   May 28, 2010

The third opponent in the game is a very flamboyant "Dico Kid" who sounds feminine. Why did the makers of this game feel the need to add this character. If I were homosexual, I wouldn't like this character's representation. He looks goofy. The creaters of the game probably thought it was funny. I'm glad I didn't buy this game...I borrowed it from our library. Its going right back.
