Punch-Out!! is a 2009 boxing video game developed by Next Level Games and published by Nintendo for the Wii. It is the fifth and most recent mainline game in the Punch-Out!! series, following the SNES version of Super Punch-Out!!, and is a reboot of the series. Following an early release at the Nintendo World Store in New York City on May 16, 2009, the game was released on May 18, 2009, in North America, May 22, 2009, in Europe, July 23, 2009, in Japan, and August 27, 2009, in Australia (exclusively at JB Hi-Fi stores). An additional WiiWare title, Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!, was released exclusively for North American Club Nintendo members on October 27, 2009. It was re-released under the Nintendo Selects label in 2011 for North American audiences only, as well as through the Wii U's Nintendo eShop in 2015 in all regions. Upon release, Punch-Out!! received praise from critics for its gameplay, graphics, presentation, controls, and sense of nostalgia, though some criticism was given for its stereotypical character designs. It was also a commercial success for Nintendo, selling 1.27 million copies worldwide.
