How does one go from mere dream to absolute obsession in less than a day? Label your game Punch Out!!, that's how!! The long, long awaited sequel in what can reasonably be called the most popular (and best!) boxing game franchise ever made is headed to Nintendo's waggle machine next year, and if the actual game can inspire 1/10th the nostalgic love this all-too-brief debut trailer can, I'll buy ten copies.
Sure it's cell-shaded, but its chock-full of what makes Punch Out!! so darn special. Little Mac, Von Kaiser, and Glass Joe...did I mention the bread rolls? And when that music chimes in and the super uppercut lands...all is right in the world. I'll say it here, this easily ties Street Fighter IV as my most-anticipated game(s) at the moment. Bring it on!!
