Developer/s: Next Level Games

Publisher/s: Nintendo

This boxing video game is the newest edition of the Punch Out!! series. The game was produced by Shigeru Miyamoto who is also a graphic designer and developed by Next Level Games, a Canadian company. The game is led by the main character Little Mac who is aspires to be a professional boxer. But before he can achieve his goal he must face several odd and fictitious characters in the ring.

The player must be able to act quickly to the moves of his opponent because you are only given a small hint on what their next move is. New opponents are also featured in Punch Out!! Wii together with the original characters. The new characters are A Mii Player, Disco Kid, Giga Mac and Donkey Kong. The classic boxers are composed of 10 which are from NES classic.

There are three several control schemes that are used in Punch Out!! Wii. The Nunchuk and the Wii Remote can be used in combination. The Wii Remote swung while the Nunchuk is used to punch and its analog stick is used to control the character’s movements. On the other hand, the Wii Balance Board can be used together with Nunchuk and Wii Remote to dodge or duck but this is not available for multiplayer mode. Lastly, the Wii Remote can be used alone which is held sideways using a control scheme similar with Punch Out!!’s NES version.
