Punch-Out!! was a much beloved game on the original Nintendo Entertainment System, and now the highly anticipated reintroduction on the Wii is now available for pre-order on Amazon for the low price of $39.99 with free shipping. The game is set to hit store shelves in a few days on May 18th.

What’s cool about this game is the controls. You can opt for the Wii Sports boxing inspired control where in one hand you hold the remote, and in the other you hold the nunchuk while you punch away into the air like a maniac. For those who want that old nostalgic feeling of the original game, there’s a special control for them too. You can simply turn the remote sideways and use the NES controller style of punching with the 1 and 2 buttons along with the direction pad.

Another great thing is the return of the original hero: Little Mac along with 12 familiar old enemies. This game looks to be a blast to play, and the cel-shaded 3-D graphics aren’t shabby either.
