they should have gotten Carl Winslow ( Reginald VelJohnson ) for Doc Louis.

I guess you haven't seen him recently. He is waaay to big to play Doc Louis. I just finished watching Chuck season 2 and he is in one of the episodes, so trust me when I say that the guy they chose was a much much better choice. I think they did a real good job with the casting.

I added the offical site to the original post.

Well we now know the official character lineup. Someone on Neo Gaf has gotten an early copy and has even posted pictures to prove it.

Circuit 1:

- Glass Joe
- Von Kaiser
- Disco Kid
- King Hippo

Circuit 2:

- Piston Hondo
- Bear Hugger
- Great Tiger
- Don Flamenco

Circuit 3:

- Aran Ryan
- Soda Popinski
- Bald Bull
- Super Macho Man

Final Fight:

- Mr. Sandman

And in case anyone is wondering why Mr. Sandman is the final boss, it looks like it's a tribute to the original Punch-Out arcade. In the original arcade, Mr. Sandman was the final opponent you faced. So it actually works quite well.

I was just looking around for info on the balance board situation. There is PAL box art that shows on the back of the case that the balance board is supported.
Any staff members or Europeans want to confirm this.

Edit:Found the boxart

So what is the balance board for?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #282 on:** May 14, 2009, 01:03:00 PM »

dodging by leaning left and right.

Oh man, work those OH-BLEEKS

Peachylala · « **Reply #284 on:** May 15, 2009, 10:43:21 AM »

90% of the people who will buy this game aren't willing to experience twenty-first century gaming, Pro.

They'll just play it NES style and sit on their butts.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #285 on:** May 15, 2009, 01:20:48 PM »

Those guys should sell their Wee systems and trade in their flat TVs. They don't deserve new gaming.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #286 on:** May 15, 2009, 02:14:02 PM »

Tomorrow is that compatition at the Nintendo World Store.
Who plans on going?

Do they deserve another Twilight Mess-up? Nintendo will do it.

IGN's Craig Harris gives the game a GREAT 8.8/10. Can't wait!

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #293 on:** May 15, 2009, 08:36:16 PM »

NP gave it a 8.5

Ian Sane · « **Reply #294 on:** May 16, 2009, 12:46:56 AM »

Well I read IGN's review. Sounds like it's worth buying so I'll get it. But only ONE new character? The game controls best with the NES controller setup? It sounds like this is EXACTLY what I feared it would be - a sequel that stays WAY too close to the original. It honestly sounds like Super Punch-Out is the more advanced game and that was released 15 years ago. After all this time I wanted more.

Now, hey, it's a new Punch-Out game and it sounds great and worth owning. But after all this time we deserve much more than what sounds to me like a cookie cutter sequel with 3D visuals. Nintendo is capable of better.

Hopefully I can actually find a copy on the release date. Monday's a holiday here in BC and it would be cool to have the whole day to play this.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #295 on:** May 16, 2009, 12:51:06 AM »

8.8 is the sucks. I R predictable. Seriously it is sad when a game is getting praised like crazy and Nintendo is lazy now because they stuck closer to the formula that MORE people seem to love, including myself. Maybe Nintendo didn't go the Super Punch-Out!! route because they felt others weren't nearly as impressed with that game? Nah, it has be because they are lazy! I mean all they did was provide the game with some amazing personal, tons of replay value via fun challenges/unlockables, multiplayer mode, and a WHOLE NEW second quest which flips everything on its head that has NEVER been done before in the series.

But I guess since it retains the mechanics of the original game and shows respect towards it, it is Punch-Out!! with pretty graphics right? Let's forget how it leap frogs BOTH console games in regards to features. But I guess since Ian doesn't like the original Punch-Out!! no one should be happy with this game and the re imagining of some of our favorite characters. I know I HATED the Super Punch-Out!! roster besides a couple of fighters (along with the classic ones). These characters are far from carbon copies of their original versions either, they are re imagined and imbued with what appears to be some tremendous personality, animation and interaction. The familiar is made new again.

I was afraid that Punch-Out would have lousy motion controls and I'm GLAD they're offering a traditional method. Let the fools have their waggle.

1up's been pretty Nintendo-friendly recently, and that continues with their Punch-Out review...A+, also known as the highest possible score on their scale.

Ian I have a few questions for you.Do you have a balance board?
Are you going to start out NES style and not try out the other control setups?

It couldn't hurt to ask.

Anyway I'm probably going to try out the balance board first.
