I thought it was gonna be online. Im not a Punch Out!! veteran so I dunno. Im not too excited. I though it was gonna be online. =/

Still getting it I mean I love what I see just meh and the new mode.

Wii Motion control not being utilized fully to create a "new" experience.

Nintendo's flagship "core" titles haven't really used the Wiimote in a way that impressed me.  That is to say that Fire Emblem, Brawl, Mario Kart, Galaxy, and Zelda really didn't do anything spectacular with it.  Nothing to make me say "Wow, the Wii's new controls have re-invigorated these series."  In fact, Fire Emblem, Brawl, and Mario Kart are better played with a gamecube controller IMO.

Punch Out Wii will be a great game I think and I'll have tons of fun with it.  However, I don't see it capitalizing on the Wii's biggest selling feature as I would have hoped.

Second it.

very cool, seems alot of effort is being put into this game. :)

My sarcasm meter is broken, so ignore this if you are using sarcasm here.

I would have thought that using the Wii-motes and the Nunchuck for the swings and punches would be innovative enough, let alone being able to use the Wii board for the dodges. I know that by including the Classic mote as an option, they are offering veterans to skip the motion gestures and just use buttons and thus skipping out on the innovations...but offering the option is by no means meant to skip out on the "new" experience, but only meant as an option.

Again, ignore this post if you were just joking around...

However, do we need a gameplay which is really accurate in a Punch Out game ? I agree there isn't enough creative games on Wii but the Wiimote is really inaccurate and it could be a plague for a game ; just imagine for example Super Mario Galaxy with a motion for the jump as the Morph ball in Metroid Prime 3 : it would ruin the game . Or , and it's not an example, the motion smash in Smash Bros.

In Punch Out it just would be useless. I think it's not a good idea to put motion controls just for a new experience; the good developers ( especially nintendo ) do it wisely and it make great games. When motion is not an advantage like in Fire emblem or Smash Bros; they even don't incorporate them and fortunately.

also balance board support is confirmed. does that improve things WoW?

Nice. So its basically two Punch-Out!! games in one

But when were they going to reveal this? It would be a great boon to them.

 it didn't say anything bad?

Awesome!
