On the green corner: Punch-Out!! live-action documentary trailer

Little Mac is getting ready to deliver some stars whirling around his opponent’s craniums once he gets out into the Wii arena. To add another dimension to the previously 2D game, we’ve got a documentary ad for Punch-Out!! It’s live-action (and it’s even got some gameplay bits toward the end). It’s quite inspiring, actually, and slightly bit hilarious to see dummy stand-ins for King Hippo (well, the iconic X-marked bellybutton should be a dead ringer) and Great Tiger (care of the turban).
