Fans of this series should have already purchased this game and newcomers should dive right in and experience one of the best games available on Wii.

If you're a fan of the original Punch-Out!!! you probably already have this game. If you're a causal gamer and want a more fully featured Wii Sports boxing-type game, give this a shot. If you're hardcore and starved for a true challenge, give this a shot.

Gaming Age
All in all, this is easily one of my favorite titles on the Wii, and in my opinion should be put up on a pedestal damn close to Super Mario Galaxy.

Not to harp on this point too much, but save for the inclusion of Mike Tyson, I'm not sure you could expect much better from a Punch-Out!! remake.

The best videogame remakes aren't the ones that slavishly recreate every aspect of their originals, nor are they wholly new creations dressed in the trappings of nostalgia.

Toughen up, cupcake, or Punch-Out!!'s 13 boxers will make you eat canvas. Once again, you'll slip on a pair of gloves and take wannabe contender Little Mac from up and coming fighter to title contender.

If fans were disappointed that Super Punch-Out!! tried to take the series back to its arcade roots, they only need to play the Wii sequel to relive the NES classic.

Worth Playing
Punch-Out!! is a must-have sports game on a system that doesn't really have many decent sports games. The graphics bleed with style, and the sound is a top-notch effort on the console.

If you’re a fan of the original or even if you’ve never picked up a Punch Out!! game before in your life, you owe it to yourself to get this game. Quite simply, one of the best NES games has now been re-made into one of the best Wii games available.

Will and I recently had the pleasure of stepping into the ring with Punch Out!!, and it didn't disappoint.

Every boxer from the original Punch-Out on NES is here except Mike Tyson, and the traditional high punch, low punch, dodge, block, and duck moveset is still in place.

That’s the only glaring problem I can find with Punch-Out!! It doesn’t matter in the slightest if you have no nostalgic memories of finally figuring out how to dodge Mike Tyson’s “Dynamite Punch.

The developers at Next Level Games have taken a cherished franchise and given it new life for a new generation. Moreover, they have somehow managed to do so without alienating gaming grognards and ultra-fans like myself.

I'm calling it right here: Punch-Out!! is destined to become one of this generation's top classics, right up there with Super Mario Galaxy.

Punch-Out!! expertly walks the line between casual punchy-punchy and “serious gamer” depth. As with all the best fighting games, it’s not about seeing the end, it’s about how you get there.

For players new to the series, word of advice: to beat King Hippo, you’re going to have to... nah, I'll let you figure that one out for yourself. That’s half the fun. Just don’t spend too much time face-down on the mat, Mac.

After their great efforts with the Mario Strikers games, Next Level Games have once again proven they know how to handle Nintendo franchises.

What's more, there are loads of cheeky winks that will appeal to fans of the series - the music, the fact you can use the 'extra energy' cheat between rounds as in the original game, and of course that pink jumpsuit - which make it clear that this is as m

Boxing at its best. Many games have tried to capture the arcade essence of the Punch-Out!! series, and all of them have failed. But nearly 20 years later, the king is back and is better than ever.

Besides the Exhibition and Career modes, Punch-Out!! includes a split-screen two-player component that will likely be of little interest to anyone over the age of 12; however, at my house that’s all my kids and because to them it’s similar to Wii Boxi

But I'm not going to let the lack of online kill the experience for me: Punch-Out!! on the Wii is a fantastic recreation of the NES original and retains every element that makes the game one hell of a challenge and insanely addictive.

If you've been waiting most of your life for a visually upgraded Punch-Out!! that plays just as you remember it from the NES and SNES, your dreams have been answered.

Hugely successful update which may lack realism, but is loaded with charm and surprising depth.

More of a remake than a true sequel, Punch-Out!! is really for fans of the original. For anyone on the fence, however, it might not be worth the full price.

If you're not a fan Punch-Out!! is still worth trying, but with caution. It's approachable at first but a hard taskmaster later on, an endurance test for your nerves and temper. You know, like videogames used to be. Well, you asked for it.

Complaints are already being waged that the game is too similar too the old series. This game wasn’t meant for you.

In the last 15 years a lot of games have tried to replicate the Punch-Out!! formula, but all have failed until now.

Then again, I don’t think Punch Out!! is going to be making any apologies for its focus. It’s an ardently old-school video game, big on simple, challenging fun and wonderfully overblown, colourful caricatures.

It’s a gussied-up throwback, but the old dog still has it.
