Nintendo sure does know how to make an offer you can’t refuse. According to the UK Nintendo website, Punch-Out!! will include a Head-to-Head multiplayer mode. Its also good to know that you can hold the Wii remote sideways like a NES controller to play the game.
Punch-Out!! includes a multiplayer mode that lets you and a friend slug it out to the bitter end. As in the single player mode, you’ll want to land punches at the right moment to build up Star Punch points that translate into almighty haymakers! Landing and dodging blows in Head-to-Head mode also builds up a Giga Mac gauge. Once full, your fighter is ready to inflict some serious damage.
Have you always thought you could have been a contender? Then get ready to rumble in the all-action Punch Out!! for Wii.
* Fight it out in Career and Exhibition modes or challenge a friend in Head-to-Head mode.
* Play using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk for a hard-hitting and immersive experience!
* Go retro by holding the Wii Remote sideways like a NES controller and pounding home punches with a simple press of the 1 and 2 Buttons.
