Little Mac is back! The classic Nintendo boxing game returns in this Wii exclusive. New motion controls and a mix of old and new characters make it a surefire ring king.

Why It's Hot:

If you didn't love Punch Out!, we're pretty sure there's something wrong with you. People have been clamoring for a "Wii"make since it first came out, and for good reason: boxing makes perfect sense with the system's motion-controls. And did we mention that legendary designer Shigeru Miyamoto is signed on as producer?

Why It's Not:

You never really know what you're going to get from Nintendo these days. Too often the company chooses the path of least resistance in order to appease its massive new fan base simply by tweaking old formulas rather than crafting truly new experiences. Will Punch Out! Wii just be the same old game wearing sparkly new gloves?
