Two new classic characters confirmed for Punch-Out!!

Deep in the pages of the latest Game Informer lies something that gets Wii owners very excited; Punch-Out!! Info. The most recent issue of the magazine previews two new characters, both of which are from classic Punch-Out!! games: Bear Hugger and Don Flamenco.

Don Flamenco

- First seen in Punch-Out!! (Arcade and NES)
- Taunts you into fighting, then counters with a “maraca uppercut”
- Don will taunt with an “Uno, Dos, Tres”, (One, Two, Three) and then unleash three hooks followed by an uppercut
- Knock off Don’s toupee to really get him mad

Bear Hugger

- First seen in Super Punch Out!! (Arcade and SNES)
- Often shows off his belly moves
- His bear hug makes a return
- Still makes his raspberry face
