==Development and characteristics== Glass Joe is a [[French people|French]] boxer, hailing from [[Paris, France]]. Glass Joe was originally designed by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], and was later designed by Makoto Wada. Most recently, he was designed by Eddie Viser. He is portrayed by Christian Bernard in the Wii ''Punch-Out!!''. He has brown hair, and is [[Caucasian]]. He has characteristics of [[racial stereotype]]s of the [[French people]], due to his cowardice. For example, in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] ''[[Punch-Out!! (NES)|Punch-Out!!]]'', he is seen hoping for the match to be over so that he may retire. He also is seen as weak, due to the ease for players to defeat him. However, in the Wii video game ''[[Punch-Out!! (Wii)|Punch-Out!!]]'', he is given head gear to avoid this, making him more difficult of an opponent. His name was conceived by Genyo Takeda as a play on the fact that he has a "[[glass jaw]]", signifying his inability to take a head blow. [[Next Level Games]] introduced the element of Glass Joe being fashionable, showing him drinking coffee in front of the [[Arc de Triomphe]], as well as him standing in front of the [[Eiffel Tower]] holding a [[baguette]].<ref name="interview">{{cite web|url=http://uk.wii.com/wii/en_GB/software/iwata_asks_-_punch-out_2251.html |title=Wii.com - Iwata Asks - Punch-Out!! |publisher=Uk.wii.com |date=2010-06-10 |accessdate=2010-08-05}}</ref> In discussing the gradation of difficulty in ''Punch-Out!!'', senior product specialist Nate Williams stated that "Glass Joe is very easy and the last character is very difficult."
