Talkback

Gah! I am going to buy Punch Out again. I just know it.
Can't help myself.

KITT 10KMarch 08, 2012

I may get the golf game because it allows you to use your Mii character in it and those games can be fun. But Zuma's Revenge doesn't interest me at all and I never really liked Punch Out all that much, (I'm sure as hell not saying it's a bad game because it is a cool game, I'm just not into it).

Yet another week without Wario Land. I'm very upset. At least the NES game isn't one I already have, although like KITT 10K I've never been much of a Punch-Out fan. I'll most likely buy Mini Golf, and I'd probably buy Zuma if I didn't have to clean the fridge to do so, so Nintendo's laziness cost them and PopCap some money there.

Yeah, I was sort of disappointed not to see Wario Land yet either... then remembered I've still got the original cart and instantly felt better. Frankly, I'd rather play on my 3DS though.
