King Hippo's boxers half off with Punch-Out!! purchase
This morning, Amazon sent out an exclusive e-mail offer for the Wii Punch-Out!! and the Amazon-exclusive Heavyweight Contender Kit. From now through July 15, if you purchase the game, you can get the accessory set for 50% off its normal, excessive $29.99 price by entering the code PUNCHKIT at checkout.In case you've forgotten (though how could you), the Heavyweight Contender Kit contains a miniature King Hippo crown, a punching bag, a Doc Louis Remedy Chocolate Bar, and King Hippo boxer shorts. Unfortunately, the Little Mac boxing glove remains at full price. What a punch in the (bandaged) gut.
Little Mac signed boxing glove $90 on Amazon ... without Punch-Out!!
We know, we know: You woke up this morning thinking to yourself, "I really need a great way to waste this crisp $90 bill in my pocket, but I don't know how!" Rest your worried head, friend, because Amazon.com has an answer for you in Punch-Out!! star Little Mac's Boxing Glove. You read that right -- not the game, but a single, signed boxing glove. Ignoring all reality and allowing for the possibility that a video game character physically signed this $90 glove, this "limited edition" punching package arrives mounted on a 15'' x 11'' wood frame and ships with an "engraved plate donning the Punch-Out!! logo." Head right on over to Amazon because supplies are assuredly going to run out ... less than quickly. Oh, and just in case we weren't clear enough initially: Punch-Out!! is not included when this glove becomes available on May 18 alongside the game.Update: Commenter heyo007 pointed out that Amazon also has a "Heavyweight Contender Kit" as well, in case you were trying to round out your $90 Little Mac signed glove purchase with a $35 "inflatable desktop punching bag, King Hippo crown replica, boxer shorts and Doc Louis's Remedy chocolate bar" purchase.
Be the King Hippo of your own home with the Punch-Out!! Heavyweight Contender Kit
The new Punch-Out!! features motion controls, sure, but that may not be enough immersion for you. Luckily, Nintendo and Amazon have just the thing for you if you want to really feel what it's like not only to fight King Hippo, but to be King Hippo. Or even to fight one King Hippo on the screen and another on your desk, while dressed as King Hippo!The Amazon-exclusive Punch-Out!! Heavyweight Contender Kit includes a replica King Hippo crown and boxer shorts (belly-button bandages not included), as well as an inflatable desktop King Hippo punching bag and a "Doc Louis Remedy Chocolate Bar." It's like an extra-cool limited edition version of Punch-Out!!, except that it, uh, doesn't include Punch-Out!! The kit sells separately for $34.99, and will be available concurrently with the game on May 18.%Gallery-33381%[Via GoNintendo]
