Product description
One of the biggest names in boxing returns after a 15-year hiatus. 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-imagination of the series. Players will find familiar names like Glass Joe, King Hippo and trainer Doc Louis. These boxers come to life again in cel-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 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.

- Reviewed in Canada on May 8, 2020Verified PurchaseI was a little nervous that it would end up being a European version based on some of the reviews I saw, but the one I received was the North American version. Just to be safe I'd recommend contacting the seller before buying so you're certain what you're getting, and you don't have to worry about homebrewing or anything like that. I would have appreciated having the manual for some of that sick art, but it's really not a problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to remake a game the right way
Verified PurchaseAnother fan of the original Punch-Out chiming in here. Having a preference for old-school games has made me a little reluctant to even try any games for the Wii...that is, until I received a Wii for Christmas. So I decided to check out some of the titles and I saw this game while not having particularly high hopes since I know how much modern remakes of old games tend to be butchered. After getting the opportunity to try this game and having to adjust to the Wii-Mote, I have to say despite getting beaten down several times, I found it to be fun and bought my own copy.
I haven't yet conquered the game entirely - I'm about 2/3 of the way through the Title Defense thing in the World Circuit. But the game is just plain fun, even if you do beat it. The upsides:
1. Characters. All the familiar characters have remained pretty true to their original forms, and the new ones seem to fit in pretty well with all the rest. In addition, I love that you can not only have unlimited rematches when you get owned, you can also go back and rematch anyone at any time. In addition to that, you can fight hologram versions of opponents for a while before facing them in Career mode. Believe me, you're gonna need that once you start defending your title. I think I practiced against Great Tiger at least 10 times to get a good grasp of his movements and he still took the belt and KOed me twice before I got past him. As annoying as he can be to fight, the character named Aran Ryan just makes me laugh so hard - he is obviously on cocaine or speed and I've intentionally lost to him just to see him act like a nut when he wins.
2. Controls. If you're new to the Wii-Mote like I was, this game might require a bit more practice. Also, I don't know what people are talking about when they say you can play this via classic controller - look at the back of the box. It utilizes only the Wii-Mote. Anyway, once you kinda practice with the thing, it'll become like second nature. And remember, you CAN use the Nunchuk to throw left punches. You don't need to do what I and many of my friends did and sit there throwing right jabs the whole time like idiots.
3. Difficulty. I'm finding many Wii games I've played are so easy-peasy that they aren't even fun because there's no challenge (looking at you, Sonic Colors). Punch-Out definitely presents a challenge with each opponent; by no means is it impossibly hard, but it's not something you could do with your eyes closed. Basically, I feel accomplished when I finally get past an opponent and I would say that's a good indication that this game strikes a good balance between ease and difficulty.
Lack of online play isn't an issue for me personally because my internet is not wireless, but this might be a problem for those who like to play against others from a distance. There is a two-player option called Head-to-Head that's not too bad. If you're used to memorizing opponents' movements, this might be an annoying feature for you because, obviously, you can't control a second human player's actions. And for some reason I've yet to figure out, Little Mac basically turns into the Hulk in the two-player battles for a few seconds at random and then shrinks back down. I think I'd have liked to see that in the Career mode - why does it only happen against another player? I think it'd be awesome to lay a few punches on one of the larger fighters (like Soda Pop or Mr. Sandman) as this huge creature.
I've also read that if you get all the way through the Title Defense and some other thing after it, you can unlock and fight Donkey Kong. Not sure if that's true or not, but wow, that sounds awesome. I may have liked a couple more characters, but it's such a negligible thing that I wouldn't even consider it a flaw. This is a great game for NES veterans and newbie gamers alike and I would absolutely recommend it. It's a timeless classic of a game that has been restored with modern graphics and it's just something that won't get boring even after you beat it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun
Verified PurchaseGreat game!
Roughly 20 years ago I had a NES on which I loved playing Punch Out. I got rid of my NES in the early 90s and didn't pay much attention to video games or systems after that- until I recently bought a WII for my son. I had forgotten about Punch Out and randomly came across this game on 鶹- and I'm delighted that I did. It's a great update on the game I played way back when and really fun; both my son and I love playing it. I suspect that it may be a bit on the easy side for die hard gamers but for kids and nostalgic parents it's fantastic. I particularly like the fact that some of the random weirdness of the original has been kept in "Join the Nintendo fan club today..." (etc). I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a fun arcade style boxing game (although it's less about "boxing" and more about knowing the characters' moves) and/or for anyone who liked playing the original.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it
Verified PurchaseO.K. so for a girl this wasn't something I went looking for. I searched for it because I enjoyed the boxing games on wii fit and when I looked into it, this sounded like it would be something similar, It is great fun and I love it. As well as being a game which you can take out all your anger on it's also good for toning and exercising. The characters are the right amount of annoying for you to really want to whack them and it is very additive. I just keep going until I'm onto the next guy! Some of the fighters are harder to knock out so I have to say I have had get 'advice' to help me on a few. Well worth buying!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you have a slight masochistic streak and enjoy old-school pattern recognition, Punch-Out!! is your game
Verified PurchaseFrom Bald Bull's signature charge to Little Mac's pink sweatsuit, everything from Nintendo's original Punch-Out!! is iconic. For many nostalgic gamers, the series - comprised of the NES game (originally endorsed by Mike Tyson) and its under-appreciated Super sequel - is just as revered as Nintendo's more prolific franchises. It remains a mystery, then, why everyone's favorite diminutive pugilist has been kept out of the ring for the past 14 years. But Little Mac and crew are finally back. And while the controls remain unchanged, this update still manages to eclipse its classic predecessors.
Nintendo has had success in the past farming out dormant characters to outside developers, most notably with Retro Studios' Metroid Prime trilogy. However, I was skeptical when it was announced that Next Level Games would be reviving Punch-Out!! for the Wii. The original game was great fun, so how would a modern sequel beef up the feature set without muddling the series' simple charm?
Well, my fears were unfounded, as Mac's timed dodges and counter punches proved surprisingly versatile. Rather than add a bunch of new attacks to the player's repertoire, the developers instead chose to build upon the returning opponents. For example, Soda Popinski was always a bruiser, but now he'll actually take out a soda bottle mid-fight to regain health. Don Flamenco still taunts you, but once you knock off his toupee, he becomes much more aggressive.
At the same time, the three circuits will still seem very familiar to series veterans. Among the game's 13 main boxers, only one of them, the flamboyant Kid Disco, is a new contender. However, once you claim the championship belt, the "Title Defense" mode opens up. It's at this halfway point that the game cements itself as one of the absolute best on the Wii. After Little Mac knocks out all of his rivals, they all head back to the gym and pick up even wilder fighting tactics.
For instance, King Hippo wises up a bit in his second bout. Rather than leave his bandaged navel open to attacks, he tapes a manhole cover to his stomach. This forces you to figure out how to remove the layers of tape before you can do any real damage to him. Almost all of the fighters receive similar gimmicks, such as a squirrel sidekick for Bear Hugger and headgear for Glass Joe. Title Defense mode captures the more outlandish spirit of Super-Punchout!!, making the Wii sequel the perfect synthesis of both games. It's truly remarkable how much mileage Next Level Games is able to squeeze out of such a basic engine.It certainly helps that the game looks as gorgeous as it does. The boxers are all cell shaded and frequently take up most of the screen. For fans of the original games it's a real treat to see that many of the fighters have retained their signature animations. Super Macho Man still has dancing pectorals, Bald Bull still does his chicken dance when he knocks Mac out, and Soda Popinski still cackles menacingly whenever he gets a chance.
Speaking of which, the voiceover cast also deserves praise for bringing each character to life. All of the international fighters speak in their native tongues - without subtitles. Though all of the rival boxers are blatant stereotypes, the introductory and between-round dialogue is so silly and over the top that they never manage to offend. (However, some critics, including Scott Sharkey of Retronauts fame, have justifiably expressed concern that Kid Disco's spandex costume and lisp feel out of place).
With this cartoony veneer and a throwaway two-player mode, more casual Wii owners may be under the impression that this is a Wii Sports boxing revamp. This could not be further from the truth, as Punch-Out!! is also unrelentingly difficult. The motion controls are ill-suited here, as absolute precision is required to stay competitive.
For many fans, this is exactly for what they have been hoping to see. If you simply want to pummel characters into submission, you should probably look toward a Smash Bros. title instead. However, if you have a slight masochistic streak and enjoy old-school pattern recognition, Punch-Out!! is your game.
