Finally, Mac is World Champion of the WORLD!!!  The young Mac has dethroned the long time champ, Mr. Sandman, with a shocking Knock Out in the 3rd round.  Mac has a staggering record of 13-39, and even though Mr. Sandman granted him 23 rematches, Mac declined Sandman’s request to step in the ring again.  Instead, a match with the legendary Glass Joe has been scheduled for later this afternoon.

The Mega Man 9 Effect applies to PunchOut!! for me.  I haven’t tried it with Wii motion controls, but why would you want to?  This is pattern recognition and reaction at its best.  Maybe I’ll eventually give the Wii experience a try, but for now I’m happy with nostalgia.
