For all of those fans who have dreamed of a new Punch Out for a Nintendo console we may be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Today EA announced that a brand new IP is in development for all major systems including our Nintendo Wii.

The title looks to be very similar to Nintendo’s own Punch Out series and will be welcomed with open arms upon release!

“We’re very excited to announce FaceBreaker, an all-new franchise from EA SPORTS that is fun, fresh and innovative,” said Peter Moore, president, EA SPORTS. “FaceBreaker reinvigorates one of the great genres in sports videogames. Arcade boxing takes me back to my roots in this industry, and this game signals our shift to adding more approachable fun to our product lineup. In no time at all, you’ll be picking up the controllers and knocking your opponent around the ring, smashing faces, and having a riot.”

Good stuff gamers!
