True story: before the new Punch-Out!! for Wii came out, I thought the franchise was actually about boxing. I guess that's like thinking that Mario games are actually about plumbing. Sounds pretty retarded when I put it that way.

Anyway! Nintendo offered this downloadable mini-game as a gift to people who've bought too many Nintendo games, so I decided to (finally) give it a whirl. I have a new appreciation for the Punch-Out gameplay formula, but don't really care much for it - as a test of memory and reflexes, it utterly flummoxes me.

If you're a person who's good at video games, though, it seems like this (meaning, the full game, not this borderline racist preview) would be right up your alley.
