What a cute little side game, like I love Punch Out on the Wii so much, but for a small WiiWare title there's clearly some effort put into this, very charming. NIntendo for the love of god revive this series i'm starving.


its a fun little novelty club nintendo bonus, but nothing really more than that. you fight doc louis in a round of punch out and he does some funny chocolate nonsense near the end which is always fun. I guess it would work well as a like a demo for the main wii game, but considering its bizarre exclusivity im sure everyone who played this already has the wii original, myself included. It's pretty much a punch-out fanservice fight, and I'm always down for that kinda thing.

Doesn't save progress so make sure you do this in one sweep (not that it should take that long)

Duck this one

I could have gotten a rare Mario hat but no, I chose the glorified tutorial for the game I already own and love.

This should have been in Punch-Out itself, or should have been a super hard bonus boss for those who already mastered the game and would have been likely to choose this over the hat.

The fight's fun enough by itself but it wasn't enough on offer.

On its own, it's incredibly weak and not worth it. It's incredibly short, you can beat the game less than 30 minutes. However, as an extension of Punch-Out Wii, the game is incredible. It uses the same super polished engine and gameplay, Doc Louis is an incredibly charming and humorous opponent, and the ending itself is rather heartwarming. If you haven't played Punch-Out Wii yet, this game may not mean much (btw, you should definitely go play it because it's one of the best games nintendo has ever made) but if you liked Punch-Out wii, you'll like Doc Louis's Punch Out.
