Nintendo unveils new Punch-Out!! for Wii [update]

Update: Screen grab, courtesy of video from Nintendo's Japanese site here. It looks awesome!

Yes, you read that correctly: Nintendo is reviving the old franchise in an all-new title for Wii. We have no more details than that at this point, other than oh my god it's a new Punch-Out!! But, as soon as more is revealed, we'll let you know.

Maybe it'll be like our re-imagining of the game for Wii?

Looks pretty cool and in the style of the old Punch-Out game. Bravo Nintendo!

Meh with Punch Out; it's just going to be like the last two which REALLY aren't real boxing games. Though Sin and Punishment 2 is yummy. :)

If you want a boxing game, get that Facebreaker game, I WANT a "puzzle game" Punchout that is just like the previous two.

Facebreaker is not even a boxing game either; it's just a fighter that composes of boxers. :)

haha that's hilarious, if you look at the video, when Glass Joe gets knocked out, croissants go flying all over the place! I had to look at it like 2 or 3 times just to believe it!

But will Mike Tyson be in it? Because that would be MAGICAL.

I'm so happy...::Cry::

I could see them packaging the new motion plus add-on with this game, seeing as how the boxing controls on Wii Sports and WiiFit aren't all that super responsive.
