People at Next Level Games are at it again


I know a lot of you got excited when you heard the announcement of the new Punch Out for Wii.
Well, may be I'm the kind of old-school gamer who wasn't moved by any of the recent Nintendo's franchises. Don't get me wrong, I'm still in love with the old ones (Mind you, I still can sit and play Mario Brothers for hours), but there were something about the new ones that just didn't 'click' for me.


Putting my personal preferences aside, the recent Nintendo games were built with fun gameplay and high production qualities (as far as the Wii's tech can handle, of course). Think about Twilight Princess, Corruption or one of the best Wii games such as 'U R MR GAY', but apart from those BIG titles we still have something like this Football Game (Yes, I grew up not calling it Soccer) which was developed by Next Level, and honestly this Vancouver-based studio which not many people have heard of (well, I mean if you'd never played the Older Football Game or any of the other games made by them) did a really decent job and the game got pretty good reviews.

Now these people come back to offer something more decent for us. From this new trailer for the new Punch Out, the quality (at least for what we are able to see in this flashy trailer) are awesome. The colors are vibrant, the models are really well made and presented with smooth animations, hopefully the new control would be able to give us the same feeling as we got from the previous Punch Outs (but my fairy godmother told me in my dream that it will).

With the release date around May, I really can't wait to see and try this game for myself and may be this baby will rescue my lovely Wii from collecting dust!
