‘Punch-Out!!’: Now in two fighting styles
For the video game pugilists who prefer the comfortable, old-school feel of Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out should be pleased to hear of the new fighting style added to the sequel for Nintendo Wii.
Nintendo reveals Punch-Out!!, slated for release May 18, will include the NES control scheme from the original game. Using the Wii remote, players would throw their punches with the 1 and 2 buttons and the directional pad for movement. Now all that’s missing is Super Macho Man.
For fans of Wii Sports, Punch-Out!! will incorporate the nunchuk and remote similar to the boxing game.

Farms in Detroit? Why not, Cockrel asks
Detroit farming plan has officials talking, he says
BY ZACHARY GORCHOW • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER • April 15, 2009A plan to convert vacant Detroit land into urban farms intrigues Detroit Mayor Ken Cockrel Jr.
Cockrel told the Free Press Editorial Board on Tuesday that his administration is in “very active discussions” with officials from Hantz Farms, which the Free Press reported has proposed converting thousands of vacant parcels into urban agriculture.
Land assembly would be a critical component of the plan because most of the property that owner John Hantz, a city resident, wants is either owned by private parties or is tax-foreclosed land owned by the city, county and state.
“We need to see more of the business aspect of their proposals, but it’s a concept I’m very much excited about,” Cockrel said.
Cockrel said he also has staff looking at doing more smaller-scale urban gardening run by neighborhoods and nonprofits on isolated parcels.
