Punch-Out!! (パンチアウト!!, Panchi-Auto!!) is the title to the next game in the Punch-Out!! series, and it will be a re-imagining of the NES Punch-Out!!, with new and old characters, new moves and a little bit deeper storyline. It will be developed by Canadian developer Next Level Games and released on the Wii. It was first revealed at Nintendo's conference on October 2, 2008.[4] It is slated for a May 18, 2009 release [5].

Glass Joe, Von Kaiser, and King Hippo are all shown as opponents of the Minor Circuit (King Hippo was in the Major circuit in the original NES game), and the boxart shows a new opponent without a name. In an interview on October 9th, Charlie Scibetta, Senior Director of Corporate Communications for Nintendo of America, confirmed motion control will be used in this game.[6] Nintendo of America announced that NES controls using the Wii Remote on its side will be available. [7]

Shigeru Miyamoto, best known for his work in the Mario and Zelda series, will serve as the game's producer. [8]
