Punch Out (May 18)
What more can we say about this one? After it was uncharacteristically announced early by Nintendo late last year, the hype has built to Title Bout levels. Little Mac is back, as are a host of original fighters. Mike Tyson’s missing, but I still hold out hope Nintendo developers were drunk the day they designed the last level and Iron Mike will somehow slip into the final build without anyone noticing. Sadly, even if this game is a runaway success, in six month’s time the Internet will again begin complaining that Nintendo “doesn’t release first party titles often enough.”
