If it's Wii-mote controls only I won't be buying it. This game requires too much precise action to let the Wii-mote guess at what I want happening.

Really? That's the only way I'd play it. If I wanted to play a boxing game with traditional controls, I'd get Fight Night 4 instead.

Actually, I probably will end up getting that as well.

I would hate to lose because I didn't shake the Wii-mote correctly. I just picture myself playing the NES punchout and realizing how insanely difficult it already is when it has perfectly accurate controls.

That's so true. I hated Wii Sports Boxing because of the inaccuracy on higher opponent levels...

If you've used the Wii mote long enough you'll realize that it's not the most accurate device in the world. And never as accurate as a button press.

Kinda random. Where are these Nintendo announcements coming from?

Definitely pick this one up, though.

I like Brawl, Fenix, but I think it's rotten that people are downrating you for expressing your opinion (and you weren't a jerk about it so there's really no excuse for people to wail on you just because you're not a blind Nintendo slave.)

Punch Out!! will be awesome with or without waggle. But if only it had wii-motion plus... Maybe it's a bonus feature for later?

Not once did I see anyone mention downgrading him cuz he didn't like Brawl.
I do see, however, that people are downgrading him for liking MK vs DC. :P

LOL! Nintendo fanboys are the worst!

Again, I said that *I* don't like Brawl. I never said anything was wrong with it. I didn't say it sucked. GOD, do I hate Nintendo fanboys, save Nando and Samfish and a couple others.

IMO SFIV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Brawl

Haha, hey I'm absolutely loving SFIV on my 360 just as much as the next guy, but I just called you out on using "internetz fighter excuse #1: Brawl isnt a real fightin' game!", nothing to do with not liking it. No idea on why you seemingly took it so seriously unless you're a "big ol' xbox fanboi!!1". Come on Fenix take it easy, no malicious intent here. =P

Do we know if this uses the Wii Fit board? I'd like to use it for something other than a $90 doorstop.

Wii Sports Resort is conspicuously absent from this list, though Nintendo might think that game big enough to save an announcement for a later date, so Motion Plus is probably off the table at this point. Also absent is Sin & Punishment 2

But Stafy is on there!

Christ, I want to punch out anyone who says 'waggle'. It was cute the first couple of years. Now it's just juvenile.

All that I ask is NO nunchuk controls. Please. EVERYONE has 2 or 4 wiimotes, just make the first and second "player" wiimotes the right and left hand. Nunchuck is worthless for punching. Motion plus? Even better. All I want out of the wii is 1:1 punching.

Using two wiimotes (even without motion plus) would be great.

It could still have motion plus, even without the Wii Resort coming out. Whatever team develops Punchout probably has access to the technology, so it could still be implemented even if the hardware isn't available at launch.

Not looking forward to this. I've learned my lesson from Nintendo. This will be Wii Boxing with new skin.

i guess i'll be the first to say it: damn I love that art style. Looks like Ed McGuiness. Is that official Nintendo art or 3rd party fan art?

Probibly official Nintendo, and yeah it dose have a Ed McGuiness vibe.. More games should go with this kinda look, instead of the Rob liefeld look that developers like Epic go for.

The only thing that coould make me even more happy about this game is if it has some kind of WiFi playability so I can play against a friend.

I doubt it will, but I still wish it would.

wow all these comments and no one mentioned the curse of nintendo release dates yet???

usually release dates from nintendo = the date plus another 3 months delay



I can't believe people on here would want the new punch out with regular controls,

motion controls is the appeal of the wii, not analog sticks.

I'll stick to my 360 for non-motion games, thanks.....

Don't get too upset people. NES controls AND wiimote + nunchuck.
