Abstract: Iconic in its day (incept 1984, if you can believe it), the new Punch-Out!! for Wii has been revamped visually, wonderfully rendered in cell-shaded 3D, yet retains the core simplicity that made the franchise so universally playable on whatever 25 cent ...

The series formula remains sound after 25 years.
Curious lack of Classic Controller support; multiplayer mode is little more than a novelty.
Abstract: After a whopping fifteen year hiatus, it would appear that the fan-favorite Punch-Out!! series had hung up its gloves for good. Nightly bouts with King Hippo were replaced with imitators such as Black & Bruised to Facebreaker, all trying to re-capture ...
Abstract: It’s criminal that Nintendo let 15 years pass between the Super Nintendo release of Super Punch-Out!! and Punch-Out!! on the Wii. Between then and now, there have been plenty of opportunities to drag Little Mac out of retirement -- the Game Boy Advanc...
Abstract: To come straight to the point, Punch Out!! on Wii isn't as good as the original. It is, in every aspect, far and away a much better game. The best videogame remakes aren't the ones that slavishly recreate every aspect of their originals, nor are they w...
Classic gameplay is still intense and satisfying , Opponents have new strategies the second time you face them , Ridiculous two-player mode , Goofy visuals exude charm

ArcadeGameplay aud hohem Niveau, NESFlair bei deutlich besserer Grafik, witzige Animationen, gegen Ende eine harte Herausforderung, Tolle Remixes der Originalmusik, Original NESSteuerung per gedrehter Wiimote
Ziemlich kurz trotz mehrerer Spielmodi, kaum Langzeitmotivation, schmächtiger 2SpielerModus, kein onlineSupport, nur wenige neue Gegnerdesigns, Wiimote / Nunchuck Steuerung zu träge
Punch Out rockt! Ich als Kenner und Liebhaber des NES-Originals freue mich tierisch über die starken Parallelen zwischen dem 8-Bit-Klassiker und dem aktuellen Remake, zumal die Grafik für Wii-Verhältnisse wirklich toll aussieht. Die Stimmung wurde gena...
Abstract: Punch-Out!! schlug auf NES einst nicht nur wegen Mike Tyson ein wie eine Bombe. Nach einem unbeachteten SNES-Remake kehrt das Kult-Boxspiel auf der Wii zurück. Schafft das Arcade-Gekloppe ein erfolgreiches Comeback oder verdient Nintendo eine Tracht Pr...
