US: Punch Out entering ring on May 18th

Nintendo of America has dated a number of its upcoming big releases for the next quarter, and it’s Punch Out’s arrival on May 18th that leads the way.

The Punch Out brand is one of Nintendo’s most fondly remembered but least exploited, and seems ideally suited to the motion sending Wii console.

Also dated for the home machine is Excitebots: Trick Racing, the latest extension to the Excite franchise, which will be released on April 20th, and GameCube remake Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, which will join the New Control range on May 4th.

On the DS front, the firm has also dated Personal Trainer: Walker, which will be released on May 25th.
