Next Level has taken one of my favorite NES titles and turned it up a notch, making it feel right at home on the current-gen hardware but still managing to capture everything that worked so well in the original. Wii owners owe it to themselves to pick this one up; it's not one to be missed.

PunchOut!! is great fun for fans of the NES classic as well as for fresh contenders.

This Game is a master piece, I personally own the original and it translates so well to the Wii and works so well... Also King Hippo is Hot

Just for you, Metacritic! Punch-Out!! expertly walks the line between casual punchy-punchy and “serious gamer” depth. As with all the best fighting games, it’s not about seeing the end, it’s about how you get there.

All in all, Punch-Out!! is good fun for both fans of the classic Punch-Out games and those new to the franchise.

The charming cel-shading look goes along with a nice mixture between action and strategy. Unfortunately the Nunchuk control is a little exhausting and there could also be more content. But in the end it's a well-made remake.

The most comprehensive remake Nintendo has ever undertaken. [July 2009, p.94]

A near-perfect reimagining of the NES classic with gameplay that still rings true, the only caveat being that the original game is available on Virtual Console for far less.

Punch Out is the best boxing game I've ever played on all consoles and they are not going to deny it to me, it is CINEMA made by Wii

This game was fun but sometime the wiimote disconnects in the middle of battles and I lose the fight. It is also glitchy because sometimes tall boxer’s shoes clip through the ground.

The single player experience of Punch-Out is amazing. However, the multiplayer mode lacks in the fun department. Give Punch-Out a shot if you liked any of the previous installments.

At their best, the fights in Punch-Out!!! are about finding the perfect counter to every attack and executing them to perfection. But too often the fights are either so easy you beat them on the first try or so hard that you have to memorize the exact sequence of their moves for the entire fight.

Controls are terrible. probably one of the worst punch out games I have ever played and I will never be going back to it.
