Well this is potentially awesome news. A new Punch Out game is rumored to be announced at E3 next week for the Wii. Hopefully the NES boxers and the non-steroid induced version of Little Mac make a comeback, but fuck it, I'll buy it either way.

Ding Ding! Some potentially huuuuge news this morning from the pages of Brit magazine NGamer -- apparently, E3 will see Nintendo uppercutting its competition with a new edition of Punch-Out!! for the Wii. Not only that, but the mag reckons Punch Out!! Wii will ship with Balance Board support to let us float like a butterfly dodge and weave, and that we'll be using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to sting like a bee punch.

Is this the hardcore-pleasing title that Reggie has previously referenced? It could well be, because we're the hardcore, and we're pleased by this!

I hope it will work a little better than boxing on Wii Sports. I love Wii Sports, but the boxing is too non-responsive. I'm not even swining like a maniac. I'm timing my punches. I used to box, so I'm not just talking out of my ass. As responsive as it is for the other games, it could have been much better with this.

At any rate, I'm psyched by this news.

Yea I hate wii boxing too. For some reason, my punches never seem to register correctly and I could never figure out why. I've tried going fast, slow and hitting at different elevations, but it always seems to be hit or miss (no pun intended). It's the only game on wii sports where my sister manages to kick my ass every single time.

This is kind of off topic, but it reminds me of a funny story. Where I'm from up until a few years ago, the arcade in the mall was still a semi-popular hangout. I used to go in there when Tekken Tag was huge. There was a guy, I think his name was DJ. He was awesome. I remember playing Tekken 3 just because the line for Tekken Tag was so long. Well, while he was cleaning up on that game, I was cleaning house on 3. He stopped playing, let somebody else take over his game, just to come and play me. He beat my ass then gave his game to some little kid. He went back and resumed to beat ass on Tag.

Well one time this little kid came in there. He didn't know what he was doing. You know, just a button masher. He waited in line. Everyone was busting his balls because he was a little kid. Most of the guys who frequented the arcade for Tekken were grown guys. This little kid got up there and beat everybody he played. Even DJ. I don't think anybody beat him until his dad came and got him to leave. Great stuff. Everyone was pissed. People were cussing the kid and everything.

If King Hippo isn't in this game, Nintendo fails badly.

Whatever happened to the Kid Icarus rumor? I liked that rumor.
