Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!

Wii Feature | Punch-Out!!

We know we’re not alone in our ridiculous affection for the Punch-Out!! series, so it’s likely that many of you are seething with jealously over the tasty morsel Club Nintendo dropped on its Platinum Members this week. ... » Read More

The Top 7... best games of 2009 (so far)

Wii Feature | Punch-Out!!

Much like the Oscars tend to ignore movies released between January and September, end-of-year game awards usually forget the top-notch software released in the first six months. It’s true that the holiday shopping season is stacked with surefire hits, but let’s not forget the games that kept boredom at bay when 2009 was still the New Year. ... » Read More

Nintendo's worst-case scenario for E3 2009

Wii Feature | Punch-Out!!

Don’t get us wrong – we’re big time Nintendo fans. But you have to admit, the past year has been rather trying for longtime followers. Last year’s “surprise” reveal of Wii Music at E3 just about made our heads explode, and the continued domination of Wii Play and Wii Fit have us preemptively bracing for the worst possible outcome at next week’s massive trade show in Los Angeles (which we’ll be updating from every six seconds). ... » Read More

Fun with stereotypes: starring Punch-Out!!

Wii Feature | Punch-Out!!

Any game that features combatants from around the world tends to play up the differences between cultures. The Mexican dude will probably have a luchador mask and love maracas, the Aussie wears a boomerang for a belt, stuff like that. It’s understandable to a certain degree, but we have to admit, Punch-Out!!, as a series, has a lot more (good natured) fun with stereotypes than any other game we can think of. ... » Read More

Punch-Out!! – exclusive boxer reveals!

Wii Feature | Punch-Out!!

The Mario and Zelda series are unmatched in sales and popularity. Metroid, Star Fox and F-Zero all have devoted bases that’ll wave the franchise flag whenever needed. Punch-Out!!, on the other hand, has only two console games to its name, yet potentially carries more fond memories and nostalgia than any other Nintendo franchise. ... » Read More

The 10 greatest mustaches in gaming history

Wii Feature | Punch-Out!!

Video Games and facial hair have long had a close bond, be it the soul patch on the Prince of Persia, Gordon Freeman’s goatee, or the five o'clock shadow on every single character made with the Unreal 3 Engine. But while most games have people (mostly men) with some bit of hair growing beneath the nose but above the mouth, there are too few with just a mustache adding character to their faces. ... » Read More

The 13 unluckiest videogame bastards

Wii Feature | Punch-Out!!

As you’re probably aware, Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. To hell with that. Friday the 13th is today, and aside from developmentally disabled serial killers with machetes, that means one thing: bad luck. Over the years, continually playing as the hero in videogames has taught us to have a generally optimistic outlook when faced with challenges, to believe deep down that, whatever happens, we can overcome any obstacle. ... » Read More

Can Wii gamers be excited for 2009?

Wii Feature | Punch-Out!!

This time last year we only had Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii to fend off the baby sims and Mega Party Game Blasts. Nintendo was tight-lipped about E3 and the third party offerings were slim as usual – in other words, there was no respite from the casual flood in sight. ... » Read More
