Haven't the reviews for Victorious Boxers thus far said that it is rather mediocre?
David Hinkle @ Oct 31st 2007 4:14PM
Yes, but luckily I don't go for that peer pressure stuff. :D
In all seriousness, I found it to be a fun game and a lot better than the online reviews gave it credit for.

I'm more then willing to give Victorious Boxers a shot.
David Hinkle @ Oct 31st 2007 4:31PM
Well, it's not too late to try and win it. ;)
Head on over to the contest post and enter!

I'm holding out for Punch-Out. They have to bring it back eventually.
Ren @ Oct 31st 2007 4:52PM
If Little Mac couldn't make it as a fully playable character in Brawl, then I doubt the franchise would be revived anytime soon.
Sean @ Oct 31st 2007 4:56PM
I don't see how being a playable character in Brawl has anything to do with it. There could be a number of reasons why Mac wasn't made a full-fledged character.
David Hinkle @ Oct 31st 2007 5:18PM
I think it's only a matter of time before they bring a new Punch-Out!!! game onto the market (Captain Obvious to the rescue!). Will it be on Wii? I think so.
Ren @ Oct 31st 2007 5:43PM
Well, the only reason I can think of him not being playable in Brawl is the issue of picking up a beam sword with boxing gloves on.
I'm not saying I wouldn't love a new Punch Out!, don't get wrong. I'm just a bit cynical after waiting for Shenmue 3 and Viewtiful Joe 3.
Rubang B (NDF - Heart) @ Oct 31st 2007 5:55PM
Whatever. I wear boxing gloves when I fight with beam swords every single day of my life. Mac should've been playable.
I still think he'll eventually have a new game though.

"its time to get a face full of Wii Fanboy content"
Bukkake?
I was going to say something about Ren giving boxers a shot, but I just can't get past getting a face full of the content of a Wii Fanboy.
