Punch-Out!!, bongo style

While we're sure that nobody is going to trash Soda Pop while using the Donkey Konga bongo controller in Punch-Out!!, it's good enough to take down Glass Joe with ease. And, it's a neat way to enjoy one of the best 8-bit games around. Just, uh, skip like the first minute of the video. It's kind of painful to watch.

That's great, but if you pimp-slap a bongo, will it make a sound?

Hmm.. my space is full enough as it is, but maybe now, I'll actually download the Homebrew Channel. Or get another Wii for it!
