Punch Out!! on Wii to support the Wii Balance Board? - News
by VGChartz Staff , posted on 24 March 2009 / 3,025 Views
Wii owners looking to do some actual bobbing and weaving in Nintendo's Punch-Out!! for the Wii, I may have some good news for you. A press release sent out by Nintendo Italy late last week has apparently confirmed that the Wii Balance Board will be used in the game as a third control option (in addition to the standard Wiimote + Nunchuk controls, and the NES-style option with holding the Wiimote on its side).
Keep this marked as a rumor for now, though. Nearly identical press releases sent out at the same time by the Nintendo divisions in the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands make no mention of Wii Balance Board support. Either way, with the game due for release on May 18th in the US and May 22nd in Europe, we won't have to wait much longer to find out.

Nintendo Italia sometimes had some exclusives, like other nintendo regions sites.
I knew it because i am Italian and i am the staff of one of the Nintendo Official Amatorial Forums.
Needs of confirmation but it's sure at 90%.
The interesting thing is that IGN posted this article too, and then did not go on to reject it, even though they have already gone hands (and possibly feet) on with the game. They simply state that the hands on review will appear tomorrow.
i hope it gets confirmed at the end
Cool. Gives me reason to buy Wii Fit. (Wii Fit and Shaun White aren't enuff). Hopefully it's true.
