The gameplay is similar to ''Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!'' on the [[NES]]. It has the heart system for stamina and the 3 star system for Power Punches. This game has various controller settings ranging from the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]], [[Wii#Wii Balance Board|Wii Balance Board]] and [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]].

==Development== 
The game started development in 2008, a 15 second trailer was shown. Nintendo wanted to make a new ''Punch-Out!!'' game like the original ''Punch-Out!!'' for the NES, so they asked Next Level Games to design the gameplay to be like the original game, and the characters to look like their original appearances. This led to the studio designing the game with classic NES-style controls by using the Wii Remote turned sideways. Pre-production started when the Wii was released. At the time, Nintendo was discussing the idea with the studio. Soon after that, the studio created a prototype of the game.

==Trivia==
*[[Princess Peach]] was going to make an appearance in this game as a fighter but the idea was dropped because the thought of punching out women made [[Kensuke Tanabe]] give up the idea.<ref>http://kotaku.com/5320198/punch-out-devs-talk-graphics-difficulty-nixed-princess-peach-idea</ref> 
*This is the 2nd out of the only 2 Punch Out games that has something to do with the Mario series. The NES game had [[Mario]] as a referee.
