Punch-Out!! for Wii will definitely feature motion controls

At Nintendo’s fall conference last week, the long-awaited Punch-Out!! title for Wii was revealed. There was some confusion over whether or not the game would support motion controls fully because Nintendo had not truly confirmed the information. However, any doubts that the newest Punch-Out title will not support full motion-controls can finally be put to rest with the newest details coming from Charlie Scibetta, Nintendo of America’s Senior Director of Corporate Communications.

“Well, I’m excited about Punch-Out!!, too. I grew up on that game and it’s been a lot of fun playing against Glass Joe and King Hippo and those two characters are going to be in the new version. It will be interesting to see too how gamers react; I think they’re going to react great to the motion control capabilities of the Wii with that game because you’re used to hitting buttons and doing your blocks and your throws and kind of dodging out of the way, but now you can do all that with your own body. So it’s going to feel you’re right there as a boxer.”
