Little Mac's south paw can be yours photo

Who needs two relatively dumb boxing gloves when you can have one completely amazing boxing glove? It's deep questions like these that I believe the Buddha contemplated to reach enlightenment, but that we don't have to because the internet puts the answer right in our face.

Amazon is selling a life size replica of Little Joe's left hand boxing glove from the new Punch-Out!!. The green, Amazon exclusive boxing glove comes on a 15" x 11" wooden frame with an engraved Punch-Out!! plaque below it. It does not, however, come with the game. This isn't a pre-order deal or a special edition. It's a completely separate item that will set you back $89.99 when it comes out on May 18, or right now if you pre-order. 

Now this is all well and good, but I think we all know that the real article of clothing we need replicated from Punch-Out!! is Little Mac's pink sweatpants and hoodie combo. Imagine that framed on your wall and the amount of women it would attract. Ladies love obscure videogame memorobialia.

Wait a minute, this is an official product?

All this side crap is really weird. The King Hippo pack sounds funny but this... uhhh...

I really want pre-order bonuses, at least some action figures would be awesome.

That actually looks pretty cool, but for 90 buckaroos no.

I'm almost enough of a Punch-Out!! nerd to get that. Almost.

Eighty-what?! It's almost like they took our crying foul at the price of the King Hippo kit as a dare!

$90 for one boxing gloves? Hmm, but it is my favorite color of green. Decisions, decisions...

What the hell? First of all, can you wear the green glove? Secondly, the logo on the glove looks terrible. Thirdly why the heck is there only one glove? You can punch puppies with only one glove, you need a pair!

This seems like someone trying to cash in on the buzz for a game. Why am I not shocked?

would have bought them if they were a black pair with a green 'giga mac' signature and and no plaque, it would still have been subtle, but i guess my rubbish is besides the point.

Nintendo are in search for meaning, as for me, the low life, am still in search of purpose.

It's signed?

Seriously?

Now, if this were included in some sort of special edition that came with the game, that would be cool. The glove by itself? Meh.

It would be hilarious if people actually buy all this stuff and the game turns out to be crap.

"Now this is all well and good, but I think we all know that the real article of clothing we need replicated from Punch-Out!! is Little Mac's pink sweatpants and hoodie combo."

Since they didn't include both gloves, this is a much better option.

For ninety bucks I'd buy a pair, but not for just one glove.

Who thinks this crap up? $90 for one glove (and left at that, ew) and you don't even get the game. I'll save my money and hope that maybe they'll relsease a special edition of the game with a figure or something that I would actually be willing to purchase. One fucking glove and no game.....really?

"Memorobialia" sounds like a neurological disorder.
