Finally! Australian release date: August 27th 2009. No price mentioned yet.

Better late than never, considering:

US release date: May 18, 2009
EU release date: May 22, 2009
JP release date: July 23, 2009

Apparently an exclusive title to JB only since other retailers weren't interested in stocking it (http://www.kotaku.com.au/2009/07/punch-out-to-hit-in-august-only-at-jb-hi-fi/)

Awesome looking forward to getting this after I finish inFamous...

Seeing how they have a monopoly on it, I wonder how JB will price it.

[Starscream]

I'll say $80

They are obviously confusing current gen with last gen

Freeloader owners beware: this game updates the firmware to 3.4E.

[Adios]

Still has one of the greatest video game ads I've ever seen :D

[ireadtabloids]

Remember when we used to be able to pep people for videos like this? I'll just say pep here and now then. (Not to say that the loss of pep was a bad thing, especially the dreaded nep).

I heard on the grapevine about 2 weeks ago that Punch Out Wii would be part of the "trade 2 games deal"...

Make sure you check the exclusion list to see what titles are okay for the JB trade in deal.

[super_deformed]

yay. Just got this after trading in two games.

Im liking it. alot

I'm having fun with this after doing the 2 game trade at JB. The style is great and it definitely feels like Punch-Out!!. Having said that it feels like Punch-Out!! which I already have on VC. I may look to trade/sell this shortly considering that I'm not all that great at the game and will probably not be able to get too far into Title Defence mode before it gets too hard for me. Still until that time comes I'm definitely enjoying this.

Picked it up yesterday but still yet to play it!! Don't work until this afternoon though, so I know how I'll be killing my time today :)

[borgster101]

Wait till you get to Title Defence mode guys, thats where it gets SERIOUS! ;)

[super_deformed]

Im up to Mr Sandman (first time). Any suggestions? I have to hit him right?

So, anyone know why there was so little confidence in this game selling well? Why was there such a massive gap between release and why only at JB?

They wernt willing to push it in AU. I think the overall sales havent been to bad in USA/EU but AU is such a small market that without ads it was doubtful it would sell.

Yes?

Lack of marketing. Or Rose Lappin hates us?

Haven't had much time to play it so far, so I've only just beaten Pistol Hondo on the major circuit, but I'm LOVING this so far!! The characters and their animations are brilliant, and it seems like a good, fun 'pick up and play' kind've game that I can come back to any time.

Hahah ... yeah took me a while to beat him, just keep at it and learn his patterns .. there's very small openings for you to unleash damage .. it's all about the defence :)

[super_deformed]

Knocked out MrSandman. Ended up being fairly easy. Now playing Title Defence mode. Jeeezuz. Now the real game starts.

Just played up to King Hippo quickly, this game is absolutely awesome! The music is rocking! I love it!
