Review Karate Phants: Gloves of Glory (WiiWare)
A fighting game based upon a licensed property -- what could possibly go wrong?

I got a good feeling about this one. I wonder if they'd consider Wi-Fi support? Either way, the game looks quite good, graphics-wise. Let's hope the gameplay holds up to be a fun experience. If things continue to shape up well, I can see myself supporting this title.
i think im fine with brawl, dont actually think this will be successful
Oh dear...
They should make a game based on RTL2's Vampy if they're gonna use German shows as basis. Not that I'd buy that either if it looked like this. I am kinda glad this game is based on a cartoon, it would be pretty disturbing if game designers came up with this premise and characters.
How anybody can have hopes in this game goes beyond my imagination.
Wiiware Game of the Year.
