Little Mac is back! Punch-Out!! Trailer

Published by Ryan
Tags: Nintendo Wii, Punch-Out!!

Even though the announcement for Punch-Out!! was last week, a trailer hasn’t shown up in all it’s glory until recently. It’s nice to see that this game will keep it’s “old skool” charm, and has given classic characters such as King Hippo their worthy current-gen counterparts.

It’s also reassuring that Nintendo is keeping with the non politically correct characters. I screamed like a little girl with joy when I seen Von Kaiser’s huge German mustache, and giggled when I found out Glass Joe keeps croissants in his boxer shorts while he fights. On another note, when did Little Mac become brown?

Punch-Out, Sin & Punishment 2, among others headed to Wii

This is more like it, and is a step in the right direction for the “hardcore” crowd.

Nintendo has announced a slew of new software for the Wii: Punch Out, Another Code, Dynasty Warriors, and Sin & Punishment 2.

If Punch-Out gets Wii MotionPlus treatment, and S&P2 is anything like the original, Wii owners are in for a treat. I’m starting to salivate over the thought of slugging a few into ol’ King Hippo’s jaw with 1:1 control.

If you aren’t familiar with the original Punch-Out or Sin & Punishment I suggest tracking them down on the VC pronto.

Mike Tyson’s Punch Out: The Movie gets casted

I didn’t sleep very well last night because I was having trouble nailing down who would play Don Flamenco if Punch Out were made into a full length film. Ironically, look what showed up today at Asylum. A brilliant casting job for just that. Who would have thought about Adam Sandler? That’s brilliant. Check out the rest of the list if you don’t hate fun.

Animal Crossing and Punch-Out!! to be announced?

NGamer magazine has its sources, and its sources are telling them that we can expect both Animal Crossing and Punch-Out!! for the Wii this year. Yeah, this year - as in 2008. Keep in mind that NGamer is also a UK publication, so presumably that means 2008 for Europe as well.

We’ve already gotten wind that Animal Crossing will be shown at E3. Sadly, it isn’t going to be an MMO, despite rumors and more in-line with recent statements from Nintendo. Not to worry, though, as it looks like there will be plenty of multiplayer and Wi-Fi sharing, a la Wild World.

As for Punch-Out!!, the game reportedly uses the Balance Board, Wii Remote, and Nunchuk. Yeah, it’s basically like that Rhythm Boxing exercise in Wii Fit, except that you’ll actually get to box with something other than the bag.

I’m not doubting the report, though neither of these games would suggest a big E3 for Nintendo to me. I’m still holding out on Zelda.
