One of the games that my friends and I sat around playing as kids on those long summer days when we were out of school was Punch Out. I remember that someone always knew a guy who found a trick to beating one of the players.

I remember the first time I beat that fat dude in the game with a duck, punch in the stomach then left, right, left, right. The new version of Punch Out for the Wii launched yesterday and will bring gamers who have been around long enough to recall the original game back to the good 'ol days of gaming.

The new title uses the Wii remote and nunchuk controllers to let players punch it out for real. The game also supports the Wii Balance board to allow players to duck and weave during the fights. It sounds like Punch Out will be a workout. The game can also be played in Title Defense Mode where players have to find new ways to beat old foes.
