Classic Franchise Returns to the Ring with Motion Controls, Multiplayer Action and New Surprises
REDMOND, Wash., May 18, 2009 – Today the world of video game boxing returns to its roots with the launch of the new Punch-Out!!™game for Nintendo’s Wii™ console. The game brings immersive motion controls to an iconic franchise that has been around since the days of the NES™. Players are invited to step into the ring as underdog Little Mac as they go toe-to-toe with an array of memorable characters, including familiar faces like Glass Joe, King Hippo and Don Flamenco.
The motion-sensitive Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers turn the swings players make in real life into on-screen punches. Both novice and veteran gamers can pick up Punch-Out!! and punch their way to the top. The optional Wii Balance Board™ accessory (sold separately with Wii Fit™) can be added to provide an extra challenge for advanced players who want to literally bob and weave through their fights. For those who insist on old-school Punch-Out!! purity, the game also can be played with classic NES-style controls by turning the Wii Remote controller sideways.
Even players who have battled through the original games hundreds of times will find new challenges with Punch-Out!! for Wii. For instance, once Little Mac (with the help of trainer Doc Louis) has pummeled his way through all the contenders, they return to offer him new challenges in Title Defense Mode. Only this time, their traditional weaknesses have been eliminated and players must find new ways to achieve victory. In this mode, the once-harmless Glass Joe now wears headgear, and King Hippo’s vulnerable belly is protected behind a manhole cover. The new twists ensure fans enjoy a completely new play experience.

Marble Saga Kororinpa by Hudson Soft is a very imaginative and fun Wii game featuring a number of enhancements over the previous Kororinpa. In Marble Saga, you’ll play as Anthony the Ant as he searches for the Golden Sunflower. You’ll collect a number of essential items along the way to the Sunflower and eventually save his colony. With more than 150 levels and a complete level creator to boot, Marble Saga gets my award for best value so far this year.

Guitar Hero Metallica is the latest in a series of band-specific GH games and gives Metallica fans a really nice collection. I’ll preface this review by saying that I’m not the biggest Metallica fan, but I tried my best to be objective while playing through the game. While similar to other GH games, GH: Metallica does add some cool new features to the already fun franchise.
More scans and information about Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver are pouring in thanks to Japanese magazine Coro Coro. It’s scheduled for a September release in Japan.
