In a recent chat with Official Nintendo Magazine, Ken Yeeloy, producer of Punch-Out!! for the Nintendo Wii, mentioned his desire to make a sequel to the title. Would it be Super Punch-Out!! Wii? From the interview:
"I would love to make a sequel. I think with this first product, we wanted to make sure there was a definite, undeniable connection to the original. The sequel would be our opportunity to evolve the franchise further and add some cool, new things."
Gameplay lead Bryce Holliday also commented on the idea of a sequel, saying that the next version of Punch-Out!! would be "different". How so, you ask? Well, according to Holliday, it would contain the following:
"Cooperative, competitive multiplayer support or create-a-boss mode would be places to start but we'd need to come up with a new 'hook' like the motion controllers gave us in this iteration."
I don't know about you, but I'd buy another Punch-Out!! title in an instant. The Wii version was easily one of my favorite games so far this year, and the best game I've played on the Wii in some time. Would you be interested in a follow up?

I'd be interested to see how deep in the game you got by waggling. The motion controls work quite well, and the sideways Wiimote is even more precise.
Put in some more Super Punch-Out!! characters & some new ones, online, & I'll buy it. & that Doc-Louis fight.
You can play Punchout! with your Wii remote turned on its side like a NES controller. Using the punching motion controls isn't necessary, it's just an option. So go ahead and shit on Nintendo for giving you the option to choose between two things.
That said Punch-Out Wii is my fave game on the Wii, I bought a Wii just for Punch-Out actually and beat it to the point where my record sits at 185-0 so I hope we see it soon with new boxers and more to master.
Who cares if its a gimmick, or not? If people like using motion controls, than its there for them to use it, but if you don't like it, than just don't use it. How is having the option a bad thing? Its just stupid to say it shouldn't be there, just because you don't like it.
As for the roster, I loved the way some of the old characters were updated to practically be new characters (Don Flamenco, Aran Ryan). If they use Super Punch-Out!! characters I hope they do as good a job because I feel the Super Punch-Out characters are weak compared to the Punch-Out!! characters (Aran Ryan and Bear Hugger aren't that interesting in that game, but they're awesome in Punch-Out Wii!!).
On the other hand I'd prefer a ton of new characters over old ones. The only returning characters should be Disco Kid (He's so good that it made me sad (but not much) that Next-Level didn't make more original characters), Pizza Pasta (although with a more believeable name and a Gangster persona), Narcis Prince (by far the best character from Super Punch-Out!!), and Little Mac as the Dream Match. Otherwise, lets trust Next-Levels abilities to make fantastic, new characters to beat up.
Dont Bash Nintendo for Being Successful at what the other companies envy
Also a VS mode with roster!!
Anyways, I like their priorities for the sequel. They did such a great sequel already that there's little room for improvement, except for multiplayer of course. Just having a create-a-boss mode would make me buy a sequel.
I would love to see more characters come back, and retools of recolors. I mean, look at how awesome they made Aran Ryan.

really need to suffer some major setbacks, such as the crumbling of Infinity Ward that we
are now witnessing, to understand that they can't continually ass-rape the consumer and
developer alike and get away with it. Kudos to those two.
