Sure, plenty of people have been waiting for a Wii Punch-Out!! since the moment they picked up boxing in Wii Sports. But that doesn't mean they actually want to use the Wii's motion controls.
For those people, Nintendo has some good news (via Kotaku ). Classic NES controls have been confirmed for Wii Punch-Out!!, so you won't have to worry about wearing out your arms while fighting King Hippo. Or even bothering with motion control boxing at all.
Somehow though, it feels like ditching the motion controls also ditches the point of remaking the game in the first place.
