It's got Piston Honda (but they changed his last name to Hondo) and Great Tiger.

The Wiimote + nunchuk controls are really smart. It's not trying to read how you move them like Wii Sports Boxing, just when you move. So no worrying about it misreading your motions and it's still all about the timing like the old-school games.

I still find it very sad that to get accurate control, we've had to boil it down to when you move instead of how you move and where you move...the Wii's original vision. All of the games I've worked on are "shake the wiimote" instead of directions because of these inconsistancies...I dunno, maybe we just have bad programmers, but you can't fault them when Nintendo is doing the same.

I can't wait to beat up on drunk Russians, fat islanders, effeminate men, and other stereotypes.

Picked it up! From what I hear, Disco Kid has our dancing queen stereotype covered. :-D

...and what's up w/ Aran Ryan? Is he just angry trailer trash?

A. Ryan?

Seems likely.

Either that or a hardcore Libertarian.



Oooooooooooh...I get it. God I'm dumb. Where's the nazi chest tattoo?

I beat all the competitors once and now I'm defending the title against everyone now. It's pretty cool how they're pretty much new characters w/ the new moves and costumes they throw at you.

BTW, I went to Mac's sounds menu, turned on world circuit, and Doc said "hey Mac, I think I'm gonna take your bike, haha!" I nearly died laughing. Did they really go there?

$10 off coupon when you use a Reward Zone membership card @ Best Buy

I also think the game is $40 at Wal-Mart. I'm gonna probably pick it up tomorrow.

Re: Punch Out

So is Little Mac Italian? Or Mexican? Or what.

Re: Punch Out

Hey, my family is dark skinned and we're still European...Polish mostly. My grandma says "smoked polock" but I think there's a bit of ancestry missing there...

I think Mac is a bit of everything, the man of the future!

I just realized, this game has no Mexicans, so maybe he IS Mexican...not Mexican't.

Oh, and 2nd time through, Disco Kid is a gay Billy Blanks.

Re: Punch Out

The characterization of Don Flamenco is amazing (just fought him 2nd time through last night).

btw, if you start wagglin' the instant you hit the ropes on your last knockdown, Mac won't go down and will make a comeback. I'm not sure of the exact timing of this one though (i can't do it every time).
