YES! Hopefully enhanced with Wii motion plus.
And where the hell is Super Punch Out for the virtual console?

Yeah no damn Mii's. The punch out series is known for those huge hand-drawn sprites...they better don't ditch that. I prefer the first two punch out games over any of the boxing games to this day.

Awesome find! There were so many games that caught my eye in that video. A Trace Memory Wii game? Hope it's more like Hotel Dusk than the original. And was that a brief glimpse of Sin & Punishment 2? And a whole lot of RPG games shown in that video too. Hope to hear more about those unknown games soon.

Have to admire Nintendo for letting E3 '08 happen while saving this gem (and Another Code 2 for Wii!) for two months later. Can't wait to find out more.

Iwata dropped the bomb; frook the new DS and Wii Music, Punch-Out was the first game series I imagined being revived for Wii. It's about time.

The 'hardcore' will still find some way to bitch about how Nintendo doesn't care, even after today's massive epic damage.

You're... you're talking about me, aren't you?

And Massive Damage? Dude... I saw some games to get excited about, but Massive Damage? All Nintendo really showed is that they are still making games. Golf Claps all around. Most of these games look like spruced up "same games." I don't get it. Sony and Microsoft catch no end of shit for doing the same thing but Nintendo gets applauded... oh well.

Punch out is epic damage? Really??? Ok well take the fact that I never cared about the series out, you're still saying a boxing game is hardcore and "epic damage".

You didn't see me laughing at you guys when the new Fight Night was announced. So sit down and relax, you're too desperate to rub it in to the doubters that you're grabbing at games that really aren't that much of a big deal. It'll basically be the boxing game in wii sports but with better graphics and no miis.

Fuck the hardcore, they haven't a clue half the time anyway.

It'll be a happy day when they're driving back into the swamps where they belong..

I'm just thankful it's coming in 2009, I can't afford any more games this fall.

And there are a lot of good looking games in that conference video. A lot.

Cool stuff in the videos. I wonder how many of the Japanese Titles actually will make it Stateside.

Side note did I see a Haruhi clip in that montage?

Hopefully we're allowed to use buttons. Anyone else still having nightmares with Wii Boxing? *shudder*

I agree Mr. Fondu,

Nothing wrong with being innovative but i feel some games should just utilize the classic controls and have "waggle" as an alternate control option.

Either way, IMO Punch Out is just as nostalgic as Street Fighter, if not more so in my age group (28yrs old).

No one, as Tatsunoko is not a japanese word, but more of the name of the company that produced many of those anime that are featuring on the game

Cool.

After playing Boom Blox, I now have two reasons to keep my Wii.

Keep the fun coming, Nintendo.
