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.
