Never played Punch-Out and it looks like a cool, fun, single player experience but not a boxing sim by any stretch.

For those looking for something that will feel like boxing with balance board support for leaning and ducking and online and vs modes - look no further than Don King Presents

I have my eye on it, but the way the 360 version cratered doesn't inspire confidence that the Wii version will turn out well. I expect it will have very different gameplay from Punch Out!!, and I might even get both of them if Don King can deliver.

You really should drop $5 and try the original Punch Out!! on VC. It holds up just as well as SMB 3, but I still can't beat Mr. Mike Dream Tyson.

Hey yeah, I could get Don King (if it's good) and drop $5 and still be able to say I'm playing Punch Out!  I mean, it's going to be the same as playing the Wii version with NES control style right?

Actually, I'm really interested in Don King because it looks to be a great workout as well as a fun game of boxing.
