It's hard to believe, but it's been 15 years since a Punch-Out!! game was released.

News Excitebots Crashes Out At Retail
What is wrong with the North American game-buying public?
Excitebots: Trick Racing is bloody good fun. In fact it's one of the best racers we've seen on the Wii so far, and should really be owned by every self-respecting Wii gamer. So why the heck has it sold such a pathetic number of copies? The game shifted a feeble 13,000 units in North American...
