OK, so the final boss in the original was Mike Tyson. Can't be brought back due to licensing issues. All that's left would be a parody of a famous boxer.
Any ideas?
Classic control scheme? Just what I need, a way to get out of motion controls! 8)In all seriousness, more games SHOULD offer that kind of choice, whether the new controls work or not. Just as different people have different tolerances for a game controller, they also have different tolerances for pointers and motion sensors. If you go the other way exclusively, your audience isn't any wider, it's just different.
* Go retro by holding the Wii Remote sideways like a NES controller and pounding home punches with a simple press of the 1 and 2 Buttons.

I thought the Bruiser Bros. were a parody of the Kltischko Bros.? Anyway, I would like to see them return.

Sega will drop some money for a cash-in, so the game will include Knuckles the Echidna.Is it so wrong that I consider that idea completely awesome?

I like how the faces actually take damage the more you hi them.
Anyone else hoping for character customization+online mode?
Man, I love seeing Doc & Pink Sweats Mac running on Park Slope!

finally we get to say "3D [shadow runner] Stole My Bike!"
And once again, I'm still in awe that Nintendo/Next Level Games captured a bit of NYC culture with something as insignificant as sneakers. All. White. Nike. Air. Force. Ones.
Yes, the [shadow runner] in me is in awe. XD
...All the more reason why this game needs decent netcode. This game would be perfect for handling business around here... ^_^
Balance Board support FTW (http://www.balanceboardblog.com/2009/03/punch-out-wii-supports-wii-balance.html)
....Ben, are you talking about online battles or stealing the cracka's bike? 8D
Why not both? 8D
GamePro: In comparison to other current games, the amount of characters is a little poor with 13 fighters. Is there more to unlock or download?http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=15236876&postcount=11
Tanabe: Oh, there's gonna be a lot to unlock! For example characters, new ring surroundings, challenges, vicory animations, etc. We packed the disc to the brim and there were a few things we had to leave out because there wasn't any space left. We're the first internal Nintendo dev team that came across this problem with the Wii DVDs, so you're definitely getting a lot of things!
Comments?
We also asked the team what, of all the characters in the Punch-Out franchise, is their favorite. While Piston Honda and Soda Popinsky were mentioned by the two Japanese producers, both Next Level members mentioned Doc Louis as their overwhelming choice. They made note that they have huge plans for the character, but stopped short of saying that he's a playable fighter.

Doc's a playable fighter.
Does that mean...
.... 0v0
[tornado fang] YEAH! THIS IS THE BEST NEWS EVER!
Doc Louis is incredibly charming as your ringside coach and offers the same level of advice, both useful and useless, all voice acted. He even hilariously asks you to join the Nintendo Fun Club before correcting himself, advertising Club Nintendo instead.
Still, Mac has to fight the world in this one.

It'd be interesting if there was like a "prequel" story mode that you could unlock, that chronicled Doc's own career some years before he trained Mac.
That would mean you get to fight as a younger version of Doc. Such a character might FINALLY have what it takes to dethrone Falcon as the manliest Nintendo character ever.... 0v0 0v0
Im hoping Donny doesn't do that "Hit me first" Bullshit that got me stuck on him on the NES version from being too tired...My issue is when you hit him and he doesn't counter-punch, sucks too much time. To get around that I block his punches instead of dodging, that way at least if you're tired, you know he'll attack, and you can whack him back when your hearts are restored.
I want the entire SNES cast to return.I like how you think. I'd also love to see Narcis Prince, and his bishonen BSoD at getting hit in the face. :P
Especially Hoy Quarlow. Cheating old fart.
GI: The Bruisers?
Yeeloy: Yeah! The Bruiser Brothers! We had them in there for a while. They were part of our roster for a while, but they quickly fell out, because we felt that there were elements of them as we tried to develop them and tried to figure out how they’d fit in with the other characters, we felt they didn’t fit in as well. Some of that’s due to the personality types, but it also gave us an opportunity to create new characters. Like Disco Kid is a new character.

You see, as with all great boxing champions, once Little Mac wins the belt, he has to defend it. In this case, by fighting again against everyone he's already fought. "Fair enough," we thought, "at least we already know how to beat them all". Ah, how foolish of us. This string of title defences comes under the heading of "World B", and every opponent is significantly harder than they were before.
Take Glass Joe, for example. He's long been the butt of many a Punch Out!! joke. Having never won a match, he's by far the easiest opponent in the game thanks to his glass jaw (hence the name). Before defending the belt against him though, a cut-scene shows him going to the doctor. The doctor show him an X-ray and explains that his jaw is weak, giving him a headguard to protect it. As a result, punches to the head no longer faze him. His fighting style is much trickier now too. When he leans back to punch, he'll sometimes fake it, making you dodge at the wrong time and leaving you open.
The result of this? We lost the fight. To Glass Joe. Glass Joe couldn't even fight sleep, and here we are on the receiving end of a walloping from the worst fighter in the game. With this one defeat, all our worries about the game's difficulty and our annoyance at Next Level Games completely disappeared. The extreme difficulty continues throughout World B, and turns the experience from a heart-crushingly easy game, to what is far and away the most difficult and punishing Punch Out!! yet. And we loved every minute of it.
Considering each fighter has a completely new set of moves the second time around, it's effectively 26 opponents instead of 13, making the game much longer and much, much more harder.
And the final surprise will please everyone, but we're sworn to secrecy on that....
Pros:
+ Looks absolutely incredible
+ Boxers ooze character
+ Classic Punch Out!! gameplay
+ Easy for n00bs, hard for pros
Cons:
- Multiplayer mode is weak
Overall:
The best Punch Out!! game yet. Accessible for newcomers, but a real challenge for experts.
Total Score: 91% (Gold Award)
Hype through the roof for this title. This & Donkey Kong Jungle Beat will make my May amazing. 8)

Holy [parasitic bomb], so that rumor is true!
Very. I can't see it being on the same level of hidden boss greatness as KH1 Sephiroth or even Bass.EXE, though.
And that's pushing it too far.
Dear God what? Please guys, spoiler tags. XD
The GAFfers says there could be another 2 secret fighters though.
.........FALCON PUNCH!
Wait does[spoiler] DK kidnap Mac if you lose? I hope Doc starts to train his jumping over barrels skills.[/spoiler]

Warning. Still Major Spoilers.
Looks like they found a worthy replacement for Mike Tyson. 8D
Yeah so I've been to Nintendo World twice in the past two days to marvel before this game.
IT'S. [tornado fang]ing. SEXY.
My Gamespot just called me, and said I can pick up my copy tomorrow! 8D
When is this game gonna get released again?in euroland?
So I take I'm the only person on RPM playing this?Sparky would probably like a word with you~
I would love it, especially if they bring those announcer voices back~ >U<
"In this corner! Dragon Chan!"
"Left, Right, Left, Right, Right Hook, He's down for the count!"
</wii>
I thought the greatest improvement in character was Aran Ryan.
I'm still mad that I don't have this game yet. D:
