Fine in '09:the Best Wii Games of the Year – Game Number 3

3. Punch-Out!!


This Wii release is essentially a remake of the NES classic. The rhythm-based boxing game play is still as fun as it was two decades ago and the slightly offensive caricatures are still just as appealing.

It is not just a straight up remake either. The new cel-shaded look captures the fighters’ personalities better than ever. There are new moves added to the opposing fighters’ patterns and Title Defense Mode adds a whole new take on the Punch-Out!! series.
