For long-time Mario fans, it may be odd to see a remake of a classic Mario game hit the stores again. Well, while the game itself is similar, the platform as well as controls are completely different. The game is for the Nintendo Wii, and enables you to play against others, both online and locally.

Punch-Out, a classic NES game, has been revamped by Nintendo and made into a brand new Wii game. It was developed by Next Level Games, and released in May of 2009.
