Wii Punch Out, Anyone?

Posted May 17th, 2009 @ 01:12pm by Erik J. Barzeski

Anyone else getting it? Looks good, but the review at IGN makes it sound like a remake - even telling you to ignore using the motion control stuff and just to use the Wiimote as a two-button controller like the original NES. $55 or so for a remake? I don't know… and I was really excited about this when I first heard about it.

    I dunno. Reviews seem pretty high all around, and I don't know how a new Punch-Out could not be a remake. If you punch according to telegraphed patterns, well, that's Punch-Out. On the other hand, $50 is a lot, when you can download NES Punch-Out for $5.

    I am leaning towards Carl's recommendation. I was excited too for the update, but that's a steep price to pay for updated graphics/nostalgia. Virtual Console, here I come!
