Punch-Out!! Wii Review

[pietasterp]

Nice grave-digging.

You know what game I feel like never got its just due? The original arcade "Punch-Out!", with the green-grid protagonist and (for the time) awesomely large/bold sprite opponents and crap-tastic "voice" feature. I can still hear the game calling out to my 8-year-old self: "Body Blow! Body Blow!"

I think that remains my favorite "boxing" game of all time. No kidding.

I've always wondered that myself. It's the best version of "Punch-Out!!" in my opinion, nowithstanding the NES version branded with Iron Mike (and only because of that).
