You think that new "Punch-Out" will be worth it?

[Tron 2.0]

The control of the Wii is ideal for this game ... must-buy

That i like it,since nintendo gives you a option for what controller you can use.I still want to get it for the wii but i doubt i will this month.

Has a complete character list been released? It's only like a little over a week away.

This is the game that made me finally want a Wii. I've waited so long for a new Punch-Out!! and I'm not missing it.

They are keeping it pretty quiet. Here is what they know so far:

P.S. I pre-ordered mine on Amazon since it was $3 cheaper than everywhere else, and it shipped free.

I'm hoping for Mr. Sandman and Super Macho Man. I so can't wait for this.

Punch-Out!! is such a classic. Bring back Soda Popinski!

I would get a Wii just for this game.

There is a Best Buy coupon for $10 off this game if you have a rewardzone membership. What are you waiting for? This is a day 1 purchase.

I admit I was skeptical at first, but the live action trailers they have released convinced me. It doesn't look like a boring abomination like Super Punch Out was.

You must have played it wrong. Super Punch-Out!! was excellent.

I have told this story many times, but here it is again.

I bought Super Punch Out on day one. Brought it home. Loaded it up. Got all the way to the second to last guy (rick or nick, whoever it was) on my very first try with zero continues. I didn't even try that hard, and I just blazed through it. The game had absolutely no challenge. After losing the rick/nick one time, I turned it off. Packed it up, and headed back to the store for a refund (this is back when stores like Software Etc would actually take open games back).

That's just amazing. It's not supposed to be like that, you are either really great at gaming or just happened to do everything right in this game. I beat it in a week or so, but never did I get far on one try.

Not correct. They will give you a $10 gift card good for a future purchase if you purchase the game at full price. That's not the same as $10 off or a coupon for $10 off.

Yes it is, since any video gamer will undoubtedly buy something at Best Buy in the future.

No, selling the game for $10 off or $40 is not the same as giving someone a gift card if they spend full price ($50) which they will then need to return and use to buy something else, probably spending more money in the process. If you want a deal on this game, Amazon has it for a few dollars off and if you have ECA you can get an additional 10% off. Costco will likely have it at about $43 as well.

If you are going to be shopping at Best Buy anytime in the near future, there is little difference between giving you $10 now or giving you $10 later. Unless you are so freaking poor that you literally cannot afford to wait for the $10 later. In that case, you probably shouldn't be buying a 20 year old rehashed game in the first place.

Sure there's a difference. It's the difference between spending $40 and spending $50 plus having to spend some additional amount when you actually cash in the gift card. If you're going to try to encourage people to buy a game because of a deal on the price, at least be honest and clear about what the deal is. If you use the ECA discount and the discount Amazon automatically gives and use free shipping and live in the states where Amazon doesn't charge tax, the game really is close to $40. Similarly, Costco will be selling it for $43. Best Buy is selling it for $50 and they are giving you a $10 gift card. It's better than paying full price and getting nothing, but it's not $10 off.

By the way, there's nothing wrong with being frugal, especially in these times. $10 can buy you a game or two given all the sales like Gamestop's Game Days and Best Buy's own sale a few weeks back.
