In an interview with the Official Nintendo Magazine, Producer Ken Yeeloy let it be known that a sequel to Punch-Out!! for Wii is already being given shape by the creative minds at Next Level Games. Yeeloy said, “I would love to make a sequel. I think with this first product, we wanted to make sure there was a definite, undeniable connection to the original. The sequel would be our opportunity to evolve the franchise further and add some cool, new things.”
Gameplay Lead Bryce Holliday shared Yeeloy’s sentiments: “The next Punch-Out!! would be different. Hopefully fans appreciate what we’ve done and that Punch-Out!! gathers strength in the marketplace as well as in pop culture. We’ve seen great online videos and fan content already. When the current title has gathered its new fan base, I would personally love to take the IP and the mechanic and give it a little twist.” As far as what shape the new boxing title would take, Holliday stated that “Cooperative, competitive multiplayer support or create-a-boss mode would be places to start, but we’d need to come up with a new ‘hook’ like the motion controllers gave us in this iteration.” |
