There's an unstoppable nostalgia trend.
And I continued it by renting Punch-Out for the Wii this weekend.
Holy crap, they found a way to make Glass Joe and Von Kaiser act kind of like their NES selves but still move mostly like human beings. For example, when you knocked down Glass Joe on the NES, he'd kind of float face-down in two different directions, but you didn't question it because it was on the 8-bit and you were just happy he was more than 16 pixels tall. On the Wii, that's translated into what it was probably supposed to look like: a stagger preceding a fall.
