Japan will soon see its first NES Virtual Console game on 3DS that isn’t a former Ambassador Program release: Punch-Out!!. There, eShoppers will be able to punch Don Flamenco in his stupid face starting February 1 for 500 yen.

The only bad thing about this release is that it seems to preclude a 3D Classics remake, which seems like a natural for this game. Don Flamenco’s stupid face emerging from the screen! The dream is over.

Huh. I thought that, of all NES titles, this would be the perfect one to remake in 3D. I guess they’re not doing that..
