Punch-Out Wii Detailed

19
A Nintendo press release has revealed new details of Punch-Out!!, the upcoming Wii revival of the classic boxing series. According to the information, Punch-Out is set to include a two-player versus mode, though no online multiplayer functionality was mentioned.

Reads the release: "As in the single player mode, you'll want to land punches at the right moment to build up Star Punch points that translate into almighty haymakers! Landing and dodging blows in Head-to-Head mode also builds up a Giga Mac gauge. Once full, your fighter is ready to inflict some serious damage."

Nintendo also notes that characters Von Kaiser, King Hippo, Don Flamenco and trainer Doc Louis all return.

Punch-Out!! arrives May 18 on Wii.

    Do we know what control options will be available? I don't fancy swing the Wiimote and nunchuk around in a futile attempt to box. I'd love multiple control options a la Mario Kart Wii and SSB Brawl that allow for several different methods of control.

      I'm pretty sure it was mentioned a few weeks ago that you can turn the controller sideways and play that way.

      I like the boxing controls of Wii sports. Sure they aren't perfect but once you learn them they certainly work.

      I agree. SSBB had an amazing variety of control options.
      I'm just assuming since it's still Nintendo that they'll be cool and allow us to play as we'd like.
