If you're as worked up about Punch-Out! for the Wii as I am, it may be tough for you to wait it out until we finally get our hands on the game. Nintendo must have considered that Punch-Out! fans are in a major tizzy, and decided to try to calm our nerves (or work them up more, I suppose) by releasing Super Punch-Out! for the Virtual Console. The Tanooki reports we are getting it this coming Monday as part of the Virtual Console releases. Woo!
Since I bought a Super Nintendo kind of late (or rather, my parents did), I didn't get into Super Punch Out! until far after its release, but as many of you know, I'm a hardcore addict of the original Mike Tyson version of the game. Most people say Super Punch Out! is a much better game. Do you agree or do you prefer the NES original?

I love Mike Tyson's Punch-Out more than kittens, puppies and mogwai combined.
Dudes that game owned the original. Almost every boxer had something unique about them (Mad Clown, Narcis Prince, Dragon Chan to just name a few). It was amazing! I liked a few boxers in the original like King Hippo and Great Tiger.
Mike Tyson's had a broken learning curve too. In the original, up until Soda Popinski (Vodka Drunkinski) the game was easy breezy, so it kind of sucked to play for that long, only to get owned hard and have to do it all over again.
Still, it's nice to see that Nintendo is offering more vc titles that relate to upcoming new releases.
I really liked Super Punch-Out despite how it was different in some ways from the original.
Damn you Glass Joe....
It took a while but i am glad it is finally coming

We're a games community. Go figure :D
It's cheaper and you can move it from machine to machine
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!!
Punch Out!! is a classic! Love that damn game! Such a challenge!
Super Punch Out!! is a great sequel... So much fun!
And Punch Out!! Wii looks to follow the trend!
Man, I actually have very distant memories of playing the arcade Punch Out!! years ago! Your boxer(Mac?!) had this weird green wire frame body... Right?! Ha ha! Anyway, what other boxers where in that arcade game?!
Colette, I'll be getting this Virtual Console game for sure! Training for the Wii version!
