Nintendo brings back "Punch Out" with a Wii flair


The all-time classic video game, Punch Out, has gotten a Wii makeover. Old character favorites like Little Mac and King Hippo will make their long awaited return to the home console. I can only hope that Mike Tyson is a hidden character, with his special move, the super ear chomp. I know, that was lame. I couldn't resist. The look is somewhat revamped, with the popular cell shaded graphics. It looks great, but hey, Punch Out was never about the graphics. That feeling you got when you figured out a fighters weakness. It was just unbelievably fun to play.

I can't wait to put in some time with it, but Nintendo is looking for an early 2009 release.
