I can't wait for Punch Out, it should be one of the best Wii games if they got the controls right.
I'm thinking it'll just expand on the great Wii Sports Boxing.. they'd be fools not to use them!
I think it won't be as good as the NES version. I still wanna get it though.
I want to get Punch out when it comes out...can't wait.
