A fantastic game that brings out the old and the new in a Nintendo franchise. Nintendo should continue to do this in the future! Playing through all 13 characters twice adds to the replayability of Punch-Out!! It's like having 26 fighters because of how new and fresh the second time around is! Highly recommended.

This game brings me back to those carefree days when I had to leave the NES on all night to "save" my progress right before Mr. Sandman. I'm so glad they didn't try to add too many frills to the controls. I'm very impressed that the boxers speak their native language, too!

Its a great game with pretty good motion control, a lot of difficulty, pretty good multiplayer and enough stuff in the game to play for hours and hours. also it brings back good memories.

Instantly nostalgic. Punchout!! is more about strategy and problem solving than it appears to be on the surface. The developers relate the game to a puzzler more than a fighter and I wholeheartedly agree. Punchout!! does little different from the original, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I think older gamers, like myself, forget just how old the original Punchout is. There is an entire generation of gamers who have never seen an NES in person, let alone played one. For them, this game is an exciting new experience. It may not be a new experience for gamers like me, but it's still every bit as exciting. Punchout will frustrate you to no end at points, but that is part of the beauty. Discovering the trick to a one shot knock down or the pattern to avoiding a boxer's attacks provides an overwhelming sense of accomplishment that very few games can emulate these days. All in all, Punchout does enough to make it worth playing over the SNES version, but it sticks close enough to the roots to avoid ruining what made the originals so great.… Expand

This is how you revive a classic franchise. Brilliant visuals, insanely (yet fun) difficulty , and tons of character make this a must-own. Little Mac is back with a vengeance and Wii, my old friend, you have truly arrived tanks to this modern day classic.

This game is amazing. I can't believe how great of a job the developers did in bringing the old game into a new, exciting experience. I really enjoy playing the game - as well as soaking in the nostalgia from my childhood. It's perfect.

This is easily the best Wii game this year so (even exceeding Little King's Story) however there could be a couple of minor improvements. As far as graphics go they are stunning, cell shaded and beautiful. The animations are wacky yet smooth and the characters are full of personality. The soundtrack is awsome and I especially like Disco Kid's and King Hippo's themes. I also liked how each character spoke in their native tongue (though subtitles would've been appreciated). The gameplay is fantastic. It isn't a boxing game as such but more arcade with a hint of strategy. You have to learn each characters techniques and using dodges and blocks find a way to counter and win. It all works flawlessly and as you get better you find newer, faster ways to beat down your opponents. The multiplayer mode, whilst still pretty fun, is no where near as fun and addictive as the single player mode and some Wifi would've been nice. But beggars can't be choosers and it's still a fantastic experience. As far as difficulty and length goes, at first it seems easy. Beating the first 13 opponents all in all won't take too long. However after that you have to face them all AGAIN and they are all much harder. However even here overall the story mode will last around 7 or 8 hours. But there is the hardest part of all. The Exibition mode. This allows you to fight off against the characters you have fought in the Career mode however you have three challenges to complete, each requiring you to learn the moves of the opponent back to front before you can beat them. Overall the game is awesome. It offers a great challenge and will last for ages due to it's massive replay value. Both newcomers and nostalgic Punch Out fans will adore it!!… Expand

The visuals are beautiful, animations are a lot of fun to watch, and the stereotypical voice acting can be hilarious. And on top of all that, the controls are near-perfect, every battle feels significantly different, and the bonus exhibition challenges will give diehards a run for their money. My Nintendo Wii has been collecting dust on my shelf every since I invested in an Xbox 360, but Punch Out was the game that brought me back. Highly recommended.… Expand

Although there could be a few things improved about this game, it overall succeeds very much. Punch-Out is less about fighting and more about timing compared to other boxing games. The system works well, and the game is BY FAR the best played with the Wii Remote held on its side. The number of fighters is underwhelming, and there is only one new boss (plus an awesome secret one). The game looks great and is very funny. There is also a stupid multiplayer mode where both players are Little Mac and can turn into Giga Mac! Yeah, not very awesome. Punch-Out is a superb Wii game and a must-have to anyone who has enjoyed Punch-Out games in the past.… Expand

Excellent graphics. Fun gameplay. One of the best on Wii!!! Little Mac is back and this time he's fighting some new characters. This is a worthy sequel in the punch out series with many nationalities to fight. German. Italian. Spanish. Glass Joe etc. etc. kind of short game but supports the wii remote rather well.

A fantastic remake to one of the greatest video games on the NES and is actually better than the original to me with much more addicting gameplay than the original
