It wasn't long ago that the first gameplay trailer for Nintendo's upcoming Punch-Out!! hit the internet, and the internet went crazy. I suspect a similar reaction from the latest trailer, which is largely the same yet now featuring the first multiplayer action in the franchise's history, the introduction of the incredibly fierce looking Giga Mac, and the hypothetical ringing of cash registers as the game is destined to fly off shelves. Frankly, the only thing missing at this point is Mario the ref, but he's a small sacrifice for a pink sweatsuit and cartoon boxing bliss.
Word on the street that Punch-Out!! is solid gold, so let's hope the multiplayer can live up to 20+ years of pent-up hopes and dreams, otherwise I can see a few well-earned baguette-spewing uppercuts to the jaw. The game enters the retail ring next month, so watch for it!!
