ESRB slips details on Punch-Out Wii

Ohh, ESRB, what a fine source of information you've become since you started running summaries for the games you rate.
In this case, it means a nice long summary description of Punch-Out!! is now online, well ahead of any significant Nintendo advertising.
While players can use standard boxing moves (jabs, hooks, uppercuts), most fights are performed in a comical fashion with an assortment of dizzy stars, cartoony sound effects, and slapstick signature moves (e.g., growling, dropping shorts, conking oneself on the head, twirling, etc.). Boxers' faces show lumps and bruises after taking damage, and some knockouts are depicted in slow motion as players are sent flying across the canvass. One character flexes his pectoral and glute muscles prior to a fight, while another boxer belches during a cutscene.
There are cutscenes! With belching! Game of the Year 2009, people!

This might be a decent game,... Hoping it won't rely on motion control if it does I think I will pass. If it can be played with Classic Controller then Its a Must Buy!

I hope the game relies heavily on motion control... that's the whole point of the Wii and would make the game feel more fresh. It'll probably offer up all kinds of control schemes like Mario Kart though so everyone is happy.

why so it can be Wii Boxing with a new Paint job?
If it replies on motion control they better do it right. Wii Boxing was just pure sloppy

Wii's 2009 GOTY.
I don't expect much from MadWorld (hope I'm wrong)... but I do have high hopes for The Counduit as Wii's GOTY... but we'll see. If done right, Punch Out could be amazing.

Loved playing the original on the Nes. If I had a Wii I'd definitely get this.
