Punch-Out to return on the Wii?!

[agbulls]

This seems to obvious to NOT actually happen. Nintendo could really help solidify their place in the market with a continual flow of titles that grab the public's attention. This would unquestionably be a mega-hit AAA. Lemme be the first to say Tyson was not that tough. Yah. Right.




RUMOR - Punch-Out!! in the works for Wii?
It seems that Nintendo may have something in mind for the Punch-Out!! series when it comes to the Wii. The Wii’s control system could easily work well with a Punch-Out!! game, and Nintendo knows this. According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Nintendo filed the Punch-Out!! trademark once again in April 2005, and it was recently updated on January 11th. I honestly don’t know all the workings of the patent office, but I don’t think this is at all related to a Virtual Console release of the original title.

There have been rumors of a new Punch-Out!! game since Super Punch-Out!! But if it was true I'd be damn happy. Wii Sports Boxing and the Wario Ware Smooth Moves boxing boss make me want this even more.

Yeah I wonder who they would all have in the game I mean it would be cool to see some nintendo characters as well as some famous boxers. I mean I would love to go head up with Ganadorf followed by Muhammid Ali, but alas this is highly unlikely.

If Nintendo releases anything...you can be sure it won't have Mike Tyson waiting for you at the end. Super Punchout was a better game anyway.

Punch-Out!! would just be another reason why I want a wii.

[jajaja]

I bet this game wont have the good old Punch-Out feeling due to 3d (im 99,99% sure it will be 3d if its comming for Wii)

[udisi]

It would probably be more like the wire frame arcade punchout

[Raccoon Lad]

It should be Jack Johnson's Punchout!! that way, you could relive the exploits of the worlds first african-american heavy weight champ, and watch as he strikes a blow for civil rights!

All i want is the stereotypes. With out that Punch-out! loses it's luster.

[Greg2600]

Would be nice to have a game system do what the U-Force was supposed to do 20 years ago!

[Mattiekrome]

You can bet if Nintendo released any game related to the Punch-Out! series, it would be a mega hit. I would buy a Wii for that game alone

Argh, I can hear the American interest groups crying and whining already.

[Canadian Psycho]

I beg to differ. While a very good game on its own, it has none of the charm of its predecessor. Also, what's up with having only one round?

me too. Wasn't planning on buying a wii (let alone one of the pricier consoles, lol) until a price drop, but the day a wii punchout is released, I'm buying a machine.

[Hep038]

I am waiting to see them repackage urban champion and see how many people buy that turd. They were stealing money when they sold that game the first time.

[AMG]

After two generations of no Punch-Out, I'm going crazy. Please make it happen Nintendo.

[kainemaxwell]

Punch Out is one of those games *made* for the Wii.

It's available for the Virtual Console.

[pookninja]

a punch out game for wii would rock.but one condition,it has to have bald bull.its not a punch out game without bald bull.

Greg, as far as I remember, we only knew one person who actually owned a U-Force. I went to his house across the street and tried playing a few different NES games with it, like Top Gun and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!. I wonder how many people had wasted $70 on that useless, broken contraption.
