Wouldn't taking the nunchuk out of the wii remote default it to classic controls?

This ^
 
I've got this and I spent the entire quick look just hoping that they'd try taking out the nunchuk and then actually be able to get to the totally awesome part of the 'game'.

I love how Doc's mustache gets all mussed up from being punched.
 
Other than that, this looks like crapola.

If you dont have the nunchuck plugged in you cant play it, thats the only control scheme.  
 
Also if you beat the second fight theres a 3rd one where he uses the Star Punch on you.

That's not the case with the Wii game I have. Are you sure?. 
 
edit; 
 
If it does only allow motion control, that's kinda cool them forcing it on you to mix things up. I'm sure most  like me have played through the Wii game without the motion controls.

You can't play with a sideways Wiimote? Weak, that's the only way to play this game...

He's right, just unplug it and it switches to classic.

I know what Jeff's talking about with the Punch-Out weakness.  On the NES Punch-Out, dodging left was all you had to do most of the time and it just becomes instinctive to use the dodge left for everything.  I got wrecked a couple times on Punch-Out Wii because of that.

I don't know who came up with the "Quick Looks" idea, but it's a pure stroke of genius.  I don't know of any other site that does this.  I am loving 'em!  Keep 'em comin'!

@MysteriousBob: Pro-tip: Go to GameStop, grab a few used DS/Wii boxes, whip out your cell phone and take pictures of the Club Nintendo point codes. They work about 75% of the time.

Pretty messed-up they force you to use the dumb way to play.  Sideways Wiimote is the only reason I bought the game in the first place, if it didn't have that method I'd have skipped it.  I'm now laughing at the suckers who went out of their way to get this bonus.

Hush! If everyone starts doing that then you and me won't rack up on points =X 
 
But rental places work great to. Just see if the cases on the shelves have booklets in them and then snag the code!

If you remove the Nunchuk, the game goes to classic holding-the-Wiimote-sideways controls. I know this because I have the game.

I played it with the remote on it's side with nothing plugged in, worked great, I promise.
 
And you do unlock a 3rd mode after you beat him.

@elfbot: It's not the only control. If the nunchuk isn't plugged in you can play with just the remote. Maybe you just need to start the game from the menu with it unplugged. That's how I did it and I didn't need to use the nunchuk.

Nintendo knows that you still use 's (apostrophe essss) for a possessive when the person's name ends in s.
