Animal Crossing Wii is done, Punch-Out!! Wii in the works

Category: Wii, Posted: 07/11/2008 at 11:29AM CDT by John Meyer, Staff Writer

The newest issue of NGamer has hit European magazine racks and it brings us some juicy info on two of Nintendo's upcoming games that will be at E3. Namely, Animal Crossing Wii and Punch-Out!! Wii.

First off, NGamer tells us that Animal Crossing Wii is completed. Presumably the game's code is ready to be pressed onto a disc and shipped to retailers. Contrary to previous rumors, the game isn't an MMO but will still offer online features includng Wifi sharing like its DS predecessor. Additional details were not divulged but at least we know for sure that the game exists now!

Additonally, Punch-Out!!, an old classic, is set to be revived on the Wii and is currently in development. Like Animal Crossing, NGamer didn't reveal much other than the title's existence. The magazine tells us that the title will feature use of the Wii Fit Balance Board. The peripheral will be used dodge your enemies' blows in addition to the Wii Remote and Nunchuk being used to punch your opponents.

Presumably the two games will be formally unveiled at E3 and, in the case of Animal Crossing, may even be available for play on the show floor. If that's true then you can count on GamerNode to give you the scoop!

BB will probably be optional.

I hope.

It would be for the best.

Boxing on the balance board is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
