"In This Corner" NES film


I just came across this video today and thought it was awesome. It's a 10 minute short film about a kid who tries to beat Mike Tyson's Punch Out on the NES. It's pretty well made, and they did a great job of recreating the 1988 look and feel.
I never did beat Mike Tyson. But I do remember my brother Kevin beating him on several occasions. He probably still has that code memorized to play against him.
Watch "In This Corner" here.

Wii Experience




Wii.com has released some new videos of people playing the Wii for the first time (at least it looks like their first time to play). These are the most interesting Wii videos I've seen yet from Nintendo. They are realistic gameplay experiences, as opposed to some of their earlier promo videos that showed off wildly exaggerated movements from people playing the Wii. Check out the new Wii Experience videos here.
