I just had to review Wii Punch Out. The legendary Punch-Out! returns as the classic is reinvented for the Wii. Underdog fighter Little Mac is back and ready to rumble against a cast of classic Punch-Out characters and new contenders. Send Glass Joe to the canvas, dodge hay makers from King Hippo, and get advice from trainer Doc Louis as you battle your way to the World Video Boxing Association Championship. Go punch for punch with the Wii’s motion controls or go old school with classic NES-style play by turning the Wiimote sideways. Watch the hilarious trailer!

Wii Punch Out! isn’t much different than it’s NES predecessor, but who cares when it’s this much fun?
* Classic game play is still intense and satisfying
* Opponents have new strategies the second time you face them
* Ridiculous two-player mode
* Goofy visuals exude charm
Anyone who is familiar with the Punch Out series will be able to blow through the 13 challengers with little effort. It’s after you hoist the championship belt that things really pick up. Once you’re crowned champion, you have to defend your title, and facing off against boxers that you already defeated is a lot more difficult than you would initially imagine. The scorned fighters are angry that they were so thoroughly embarrassed by your tiny hands and have spent their free moments devising plans to counter your cruel wrath.
There isn’t much else to say other than that you need to get this game. Wii Punch Out is an instant classic that will surely be one of the top rated games for 2009 and definitely one of the op game releases for the Wii.
