Nigoro, a division of Asterizm Co., today announced an all-new remade LA-MULANA, co-developed and published by Nicalis, Inc., to appear on WiiWare in late 2009. The original Windows version was inspired by the action-adventure games of the 1980s a visual style indicative of that era. In contrast, the all-new remake of LA-MULANA features stunning new graphics and gameplay.
Sealed since long ago the ruins of LA-MULANA are yours to explore. Assume the role of famed archeologist, Dr. Lemeza Kosugi and uncover the remains of an ancient civilization, the origin of man and all life as we know it. Developed in conjunction with Nicalis, Inc. the re-imagined LA-MULANA features a robust all-new game engine built specifically for LA-MULANA with vibrant hand-drawn artwork, original audio and special effects not seen in the original—which used a limited 16-color palette.

Just a few weeks ago, Nintendo released an update to the “Nintendo Channel” in Japan. However, since that time, the upgrade hasn’t been made available anywhere else. One would think that the Big N would be considering its release outside of Japan since there are some enjoyable features in the new version. But it looks like we’ll have to wait awhile to receive the update – that is, if it ever comes out anywhere else. We asked Nintendo about the update and a representative noted, “We don’t have anything to announce about its availability in other territories.”
– Princess Peach was considered as a fighter – “The thought of punching women out made me give up my idea.” – Kensue Tanabe
– Decided against including Mario even as a referee because of the “toon-shaded 3D atmosphere of the game”
– Next Level brought up the idea of thinking of the game’s graphical style
– Devs wanted to make Punch-Out!! difficult to master
– Was tough trying to find a proper way to include multiplayer
– Another Punch-Out!! game would have to be “fresh and new”
– “We are not planning a sequel where simply the fighters are replaced. If we get so many requests for Little Mac and other fighters to come back, we will make another game in a totally new, different way. But of course, Doc Louis must also be there!” – Kensue Tanabe
