I've got my reservations about Punchout. The first one sold so well, because Mike Tyson was huge then and then he was beaten by Buster Douglas and his invincible aura started to slip a bit. And in later years more than a bit.
Also, I liked Punchout because of the characters and I was the first one of my friends to become really good at it and beat the game.
However, I was a fat kid and found it pretty easy to just sit in an easy chair, pick up the controller, now I'm kind of a stocky, lazy man going on middle-age, and I doubt if I have the energy to get out a balance board and a wii-mote and try to make all the moves that one is probably going to have to make to play this new Punchout well.
In going on thirty years of gaming, I've never wanted to get a workout from this hobby, and the closest I ever put myself to one in a game was Decathalon on the 2600 / VCS that broke your hand and your joystick.
Heavens to Murgatoids.
