I'll be playing it with the Wiiremote, but yeah, I guess a setup with the Balance Board is kinda cool. Anyway, the lack of Wii Motion Plus still hurts me.

ok, everyone who says this really needs to go and play the originals and come back and try saying that again without bursting out laughing.

2 things.

1) WM+ would only make the Remote better, and the Nun-chuck would still only be ok for boxing. So if they couldn't make the game work without it, then the left hand would be "broken"

2) WM+ wouldn't really add anything to the gameplay as you only have 2 punches per hand plus 1 uppercut

The first one is probably in my top 3, so you know, I did play it, and I think that a different mode with the Wii Motion Plus may be very fun to play. Of course you cannot think to add Wii Motion plus to the core gameplay, because it's not about different kinds of punch, it's all about rhythm, but I still think that a different mode with Balance Board AND Wii Motion Plus could have been good. It would have been different, but good. Or some kind of minigames, masked under matches, who knows...I just want to see Wii Motion Plus used in a boxe game. And I think Punch-Out may have been a good choice to begin with. It would have shown a lot of ways to add the peripheral to the whole genre. But yeah, too many Woulds in my post.

Now imagine the flexibility to do more than just two kinds of punches, backed up by a wiimote in each hand equipped with WM+.

Sure, there's all kinds of reasons why nintendo shouldn't do this, but throw in a balance board and you get pretty much the sexiest boxing controls ever devised. That's the dream.

Amazon has Punch out for 40 bucks.

^^

yes, a new gameplay mode may have benefited from WM+, but the big problem is what I listed in #1.

Now, I would love it, if they made a boxing game that played with WM+ and you used 2 Wii Remotes instead of 1+nunchuck. I you would have complete control over your fists and if done right would be the best boxing game ever.

lol, I typed too slow

I'd love this, but Nintendo would never do it. A 3rd party might. I can dream. That along with my tank game that plays like the old tank games with dual joysticks, only you hold the Wii Remote and Nunchuck vertical for the joysticks.
