There's a bit of a problem there. We all know that the game will be fun because, well, it's PunchOut!! That said, this small amount of PunchOut!! might not keep my interest for very long. I'm hoping there's some special features that we don't know about that might prolong the game's replay value.

Substance has never been a big problem when it comes to people buying Wii games.

And, remember, there were only 11 or so in the original!

It looks pretty sharp, and I'm definitely interested.

They haven't really given out that many details about the game. The original games could be beaten in a day if you learned the opponents moves. If there are about 13 opponents in the game, I don't see much of a lasting experience there. I hope the end product is worthy of its ancestors.

Everything Zelda pushes me away, but everything Mario draws me in. Sunshine was fun but a step in the wrong direction. Super Mario Galaxy is the only Wii game that has made me really think about how powerful the system is in terms of graphics. I love me some Italian plumbers! It's weird.

I did not like LttP and was disappointed with Phantom Hourglass, but I adore Wind Waker and enjoyed Twilight Princess. For as much as the Zelda games maintain core concepts and gameplay, they vary quite a bit. I think they're like Final Fantasy games in that there's so much that changes between iterations that it is perfectly OK to love some and hate others.<br><br>But as long as Galaxy becomes the new Mario standard, I'll be off that train.<br><br>I want Zelda games like Wind Waker/Twilight Princess, and Mario games like Sunshine (or Paper).

But as long as Galaxy becomes the new Mario standard, I'll be off that train.

I want Zelda games like Wind Waker/Twilight Princess, and Mario games like Sunshine (or Paper).
