That's right. It's classic Punch-Out with 3D characters. I cannot wait for this to hit.

Hmmm. I'm not sure what to think. This is probably one of my most hyped games of the year, but the video made it largely look like a remake. While I'm all for the purity of the original, I can always play the original if it's what I'm hankering for. I'd like some new content, so we'll see what will come. Disco Kid is hopefully a sign that more new content will be included (a few new punches and specials would be nice too). That reminds me - who is the ultimate opponent going to be this time?

That video reminded me to check to see if there are any Sin & Punishment 2 videos - hurray that I wasn't disappointed.

Mr. Dream is a possible final opponent. Obviously we aren't getting Iron Mike.

I think it's a bit early to decide that it's a remake or a "new" game just yet. We've only got, what, 4 boxers confirmed so far? Three are classics from the original, one is new. We haven't seen much new with this vid, other then the addition of the Disco Kid and some cutscenes of Mac training.

Hopefully at E3 we'll get some more info, and see how much of this is just a remake of the original, and how much completely new stuff we'll be getting.

Personally I'd like to see a mix of characters from Punch-Out, Super Punch-Out, and some new guys, for sake of variety.
I wanted to be a Teminator but they require you have an armored hyperalloy skeleton and mine's mostly recycled truck tires.
