Punch-Out!

New details are coming out everyday about one of the few Wii games I'm looking forward to in this first half of 2009.  That game is Punch-Out!!

Harkening back to the day of Little Mac taking on Glass Joe and friends, Punch-Out promises to expand on the frantic and sometimes exhausting gameplay of the Wii Sports Boxing minigames.  Combine that with the modern-day update of the classic franchise, and it could be a fun arcade-style boxing game with old-school appeal.

For those not accustomed to moving their arms, a recent announcement from Nintendo pledges that NES-style controls will be available in the new Punch-Out!!  Promises to bring even more nostalgia to the game.

Punch-Out!! drops in May.  !!.
