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.[1]
- This is the second game in the Punch-Out!! series to include a reference to the Mario series, as the NES game had Mario as a referee.
