I wonder if this means Bear Hugger's palette-swap Mad Clown will show up again. Fucking juggling balls...
If the point is that we haven't learned of any new characters, then Disco Kid should be enough to prove that point wrong. But if you really need two, then Giga Mac is new also.
With the success of Street Fighter 4 and Brawl (and possibly fighters in general) I don't think people really mind having the bulk of the roster being rehashed.
I never really played punchout before so I don't really care! :)

I wouldn't count Giga Mac, personally. That's more of a mechanic than a new character.
Okay, so there's one new character that we know of. Fair point and I should not have said that we haven't seen any at all (I'd completely forgotten about Disco Kid). My question remains, though, as it's still a highly unbalanced roster in terms of new vs. old characters.
Super Punch-Out!!, for example, shared very few boxers with its predecessor. It looks like Nintendo is (smartly) riding hard on the nostalgia angle for marketing this title. Do you guys want that or would you prefer more new boxers?

I'd rather they did about half and half old versus new. But then, I was never too into the old Punch-Out games, so the nostalgia doesn't affect me as much. Nintendo is probably smart in doing almost all old characters. They know their audience.
The lineup for this one doesn't have to be recycled, by any means--I'm not in a hurry to fight Rick Bruiser and then Nick Bruiser (or was it the other way around) again anytime soon. I think tossing some cool and retarded new boxers into the mix would be the perfect opportunity for Nintendo to show they can still be every bit as creative and silly as they were back in a time before they thought air guitar was an acceptable concept off of which to make a retail game.

If only the new Ready 2 Rumble was taking notes.

I stand by my theory that this game is Nintendo's Street Fighter IV. It recycles pretty much the entire cast and most of the mechanics from the most popular entry in the franchise, sprinkles in a few other returning characters, and adds only a tiny handful of brand new faces. I don't expect to see any more than four new characters.
Hey, I've heard of this kid in the game that likes disco... I forget his name, the Dancing Prince or something... I've not seen him before, is he new?
I must say I'm happy by having an updated Punch Out version. "If it ain't broken, don't fix it". Who will buy Punch Out Wii more? Nostalgic gamers of course.
I am glad Bear hugger is in this, having only one fatass in the roster was going to seem dull, and this could also mean awesome Super Punch-Ou!! comebacks.
Waiting for Dragon Chan and Aran Ryan (Aran was such a fucking annoying bastard but fun in challenge)

I don't see why people are complaining so much about the return of 99.9% of the old characters. THEY'RE COOL. Besides, Doc is back and a lot of old Punch-Out fans want to see the old characters again. In addition, a lot of people have yet to play the old games so this is an opportunity to introduce them in an updated remake.
I hear that Piston Honda and Great Tiger will also be returning based on a post Next Level Games released on Craigslist for their voice-acting roles.
