This version of Punch-Out!! for the Wii is remarkably similar to the previous two Nintendo versions of the 90s, but still had me playing until the wee hours of the morning. The game is and has always been addictive to me. There are still 13 boxers including your trademark character Little Mac, each having his own trademark characteristics and punching styles.

The boxers also flash red, move their eyebrows or mumble something under their breath before swinging to give you that heads-up notice as was the case in the previous versions as well. I haven't beaten this version yet, but I believe I'm pretty close. It really doesn't seem too difficult. It's also much more 3-dimensional than the versions of the 90s with much better graphics which was to be expected.
