Right before E3 2015 I was convinced Nintendo would reveal a "Punch U Out!" for Wii U. I actually suspected this as early as the summer of 2014, when Nintendo showed Project Giant Robot.
I never saw Project Giant Robot as an actual game, but rather as a tech demo with certain play mechanics suitable for a future game. Looking at the play mechanics in Project Giant Robot, it actually mimmicks the basic body movement of a boxer (but in slow motion and without the punching abilities), making it suitable as game engine for an highly advanced sequal to "Punch Out!".
I got even more convinced when Nintendo showed us footage of Reggies boxing pose right before E3 this year.
I still believe Nintendo had plans to show an early version of "Punch U Out!" for Wii U at this years E3, but for some reason they pulled the plug days before the show. I suspect the game was still too early in development to do it justice. If such a game is in development, the question is if Nintendo still see it as a Wii U release or a NX release?
