This included designing the gameplay to feel very similar to that of the NES (even going so far as to make sure that opponents could be beaten in the same way that they could be in the NES game) as well as making the characters look as faithful to their appearances on the NES as possible. As an additional part of this desire to remain faithful to the NES title, the studio designed the new game to utilize the Wii Remote turned sideways, in an effort to emulate classic NES-style controls for the game.<ref>https://kotaku.com/5320198/punch-out-devs-talk-graphics-difficulty-nixed-princess-peach-idea</ref> | ||

Additionally, while Mario was included as a referee in the NES ''Punch-Out!!'', he was left out of the new title altogether over concerns that his appearance would not work with the game's aesthetic.<ref name=kotaku/> Instead, Donkey Kong was included as a bonus opponent to represent the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. | ||
