I think just about every of the editors here at Destructoid is twittering and tweeting with excitement over the new Punch-Out!! title coming this summer. Sure, it may not end up being that amazing of a game, but it's new Punch-Out!! ; something I don't think any of use were sure we'd ever see happen again.
When everybody wants to review a game, it's tough to claim it. We may end up doing a 4-12 person review or something crazy like that, but even then, it's highly likely that I wont get in on it. It's just the law of averages. The chances of me pulling the shortest straw just aren't that high. This is my attempt to apply some shrinkage to my personally straw. These are the reasons why I think I think you should vote for me to be your Punch-Out!! reviewer. #1- I'm pretty good at Super Punch-Out!! I can knock down Nick Bruiser in under 6 seconds. 
...and knock him out in under 15. 
#2- I'll point out the finer details of the game Did you know that the woman with the afro in the audience of Super Punch-Out!! is punching herself in the boob? Well, now you do, and you have me to thank for it. If Punch-Out!! has any secretly, sexually self-abusive characters, you know that I'll be the one to find them. #3- I look exactly like Punch-Out!! Wii's Disco Kid My review of Punch-Out!! Wii will be like a report on the game from someone who is actually from the Punch-Out!! world. Wouldn't that be awesome? It will be like a review of the new Wolverine movie by the Blob, or a review of that other new, boring looking comedy about a bumbling mall cop by an actual boring, bumbling mall cop. Wouldn't that be amazing? Right now, aren't you totally amazed with what I am saying? #4- I own a Punch-Out!! trashcan 
I'm not going to tell you how I got it, but I got it, and I look at it everyday. I know the the other editors think about Punch-Out!! a lot too, but I don't think they think about it everyday vie trashcan like I do. That makes me special. I'm super, duper special. So, do I have your vote, or am I going to have to post more animated gifs of me posing shirtless as a obscure videogame characters, further ruining any chance I have of becoming out next president?

Did you think I was biased in giving House of the Dead: Overkill a 7/10? Or was it my 6/10 review of Samba de Amigo that made you think that I love every Wii game NO MATTER WHAT!!!
Concelmo/Holmes in '09!
i Vote Present!
The new punch out looks to me like a remake of Mike Tyson/Mr Dream punch out on the NES. The "heart" counter determining how many punches you can throw and turning purple when you run out, the 3 stars worth of knock out punches you earn by hitting the opponent at the right time.
How do your skills stack up on original punch out? Hmm Mr Holmes? HMMMMM?
Beat that.
Thanks guys!
To be clear though, there really is no real way to "vote" for me. I just love Super Punch-Out!! (and to a lesser extent, regular Punch-Out!!) a whole lot, and wanted an excuse to blog about it.
Specifically, I wanted an excuse to make a gif of that woman punching herself in the side of her boob and blog about that.
@ Zombie Platypus- I should have the review of WarioWare Snapped done in the next couple of days. It's probably the worst game I've ever had to review.
Enjoys Super Punch-out -1
Cat's game.
No it's not that, I'm still butt hurt about your Dead Rising Wii reviews, I just can't fathom how that game deserves anything more than a 1/10.
I love me some Chad reviews, and I love me some Holmes reviews, but if the two were combined?
I'd have a heart attack because of the amazingness.
Either way, talking about Super Punch Out!! when this game seems to be a remake of NES Punch Out!! seems a bit odd :D.
You have my vote due to the trashcan; it just exemplifies your love of Punch Out!!, and i'd rather have an obviously passionate Punch Out!! fan (that's going to be able to compare it to past iterations) do it than deal with a possible half-hearted review.
However, on a brighter note, why don't you review it on the C-Blogs? I promise I'll read it. :O)
Yep, you're always super special.
If it isn't an actual vote, but if the community demands it then I DEMAND HOLMES TO REVIEW!!!
He is a fanboy now???
I thought he just didn't like SF:IV......
I would love to see a Conclemo/Holmes team for this review.
That's silly!
If anything, my excitement may be setting my expectations too high for the game to ever deliver. I was really excited for Street Figther IV, House of the Dead: Overkill, and Resident Evil 5 as well, and I'm actually worried that I appreciated all three of those games less because of it. They didn't live up to my expectations. If I hadn't been thinking about them day and night for years, I may not have been disappointed.
@ Nilcam- I promise that whoever reviews the game for Dtoid, the NES style controls will be covered. I'm pretty sure that's how we all plan on playing the game.
