PUNCH OUT!

I just got back from Nintendo World, a magical, two-story store in Rockefeller Plaza where anyone can enter and try out the Wii. The time was 12:00PM, Tuesday. I figured all the kiddies would be in school and the grown-up gamers would be eating something...greasy. I was right.

After waltzing in I was immediately weilding a nunchuck controller. Just like everyone had posted, it felt 'just right' in my hands. Light but solid, it felt like I could whip it around for hours and not strain my arms or wrists. A choice had to be made. I picked: Boxing.


I haven't been this excited about a console since the PS1. Playing the game just once was awesome! The way the characters moved, the way you controlled them, it was just like Punch Out! - in fact, it's only a matter of time before Lil' Mac comes back!

If you should walk outside my apartment in the months to come, you may hear sounds that resemble these.




...by the way, 90% of all large fish have disappeared from the planet. Thank you, goodnight!

I may very well walk by your apt in the months to come! I'll be in NY from DEc 20th-30th & I already have one NYC date planned. Whether you'll be there or not is a different story but I'll keep my ears cocked for the big KO!
