When I was a young kid, I rented Super Punch Out!! for my SNES, and it was a lot of fun. A Year ago, I bought Punch Out!! for NES on the Wii virtual console, and it was still fun with simple controls, awesome music, and a couple of tough bosses. So what does the Wii version stack up to...... still awesome!!!!!!! The controls for the gameplay haven't changed much for the classic controls, with the exception that you have to hit minus to activate the star punches. The motion controls work perfectly gameplay although sometimes uppercuts are registered as jabs, and that can sometimes ruin the whole match. And not only that, at one point, the bosses got so hard for me to beat that I said screw it, the NES contol style is what i think the only possible way to beat these guys. BTW, it doesnt matter if ur 7 years old or 27 years old, you will yell, swear, and punch the wall tryin to beat this game. Especially the last boss, The Sandman. Overall, this sequel is amazing on the Wii and stands to the test of time the sometimes a game could be fun with only a d-pad and 2 buttons. The only problems are that there are that there is no online(WTH, this is the year 2009 Nintendo), you cant use other boxers in multiplayer(seriously, WTH NINTENDO!!!!!), and that the Wii Fit board option is freaking useless, actually Wii Fit was useless to begin with...... but even with these flaws, it gets a 9/10.
So........
Buy It
Rent It
or
Screw It
Final Verdict:
Buy It!!!!!
