Punch Out!

My brothers and I used to play Mike Tyson's Punch Out for Nintendo at our grandma's house, back in the day. "Little Mac" (your character) would have to fight a series of boxers - Glass Joe, Von Kaiser, Don Flamenco, King Hippo, Piston Honda, etc. all the way up to Mike Tyson. (This was obviously before his darker days.)

Well, for my birthday my brother got Punch Out for Wii and we've spent the majority of the rainy weekend reliving Little Mac's odyssey. I've done okay. But I think I have some issues with my eye-left thumb-coordination. My defensive moves are lacking, to say the least.

Anyway, my one brother is currently having problems with King Hippo on the Title Defense Circuit...he's getting angry and it is funny. But he just managed to pull out a big win! See below for the sequence of events.


Not doing so well.


King Hippo taunting him before the start of Round 3.

Getting a few punches in.

He's a big Hippo...

...and he goes down hard!!
