Punch-Out!! has been one of the most wanted and requested Virtual Console titles since Day 1 of the Wii's launch last November. Now, with its arrival, it'll likely become a top seller for the NES VC line-up. And deservedly so. Punch-Out!! is more than worth its 500 Point asking price, and a high volume of digital sales for the title may make Nintendo take notice again of the forgotten franchise. The Wii seems perfectly suited for a revival of the series – or, at least, Little Mac could be added to the roster of playable fighters in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He's Nintendo's original fighting mascot, after all – the company's own celebrity sports star.

Punch-Out!! is one of the greatest games of the NES generation, and while it certainly shows a bit of its age with this Virtual Console release, none of what made the game fun or unique has been lost with time. If you remember the game from your younger days, you probably ran off to go download this the moment King Hippo got name-dropped. If you never had the chance to experience Punch-Out!! back in the day, there's no time like the present.
