Scenes from the Bellingham Electronic Arts Festival remind us of a little censorship issue with Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! While your console gaming memories might have you believe that the man depicted above is Soda Popinski, he actually went by the name Vodka Drunkenski. Just look at this between-round quote for proof: "I drink to prepare for a fight. Tonight I am very prepared!" Thank ario_j for the trip down memory lane; check out the highlights for today:
