Watch your step, Rock. Little Mac is back.
Confirming rumors reported Tuesday on Infendo, Nintendo has announced a new Punch-Out!! game is in development for Wii.
We’ve embedded a video montage of Wii titles shown at Nintendo’s Japanese press conference. The footage showcases first footage of Punch-Out!! Wii, among several notable games including Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Sin & Punishment 2 and a new Trace Memory for Wii.
Punch-Out!! Wii is scheduled to release in the first half of 2009.
Yes Punch Out! I was hoping for this!
They showed in the video a skiing game that looked a lot like We Ski. Does anybody know what that game was called (my Japanese is about as good as my Greek). Is it a First party game?
Also I wonder how many of these titles shown were first party as compared to third party.
What’s that God of War type game shown at 1:09 in? Do want. Punch out too!
This looks really promising
So pretty huge sequel surprises there. I would never have guessed that there’d be a Trace Memory or the Sin and Punishment sequel on the Wii.

11 Unannounced games, and that is just Wii.
DS has about 10 games from Nintendo as well.
@ Myst
Thanks for the translations.
Looks like some really good games coming out (at least in Japan, hopefully many / most of these will make it to our shores as well).
I thought we would be getting a first glimpse of Pikmin 3 during this event, I was surprised to see that it was left out. Perhaps I was being too optimistic though.
punchout looks sweet
I loved Wii Ski, can’t wait for the sequel. Oh, and Punch out looks Awesome.
Holy sh**. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom?
Wow. I thought this’d never go to Wii.
Well… it isn’t my Icarus but I will gladly take a new Punch-Out!
!!!
Oh sweet Punch Out! come thy way! :8
So is saying that Nintendo has abandoned the hardcore old now?
SWEET
Better late than never i guess…
