THQ’s New Wii Karate Game: Paging Ralph Macchio!

By Gary Eng Walk | February 8, 2010 | +

THQ announced a new Wii game that’s coming out this spring called All Star Karate. The game offers “a true full-body experience by allowing players to experience the life of a karate trainee who is under the guidance of a wise, but humorous sensei, and is on the path toward attaining a black belt, the highest achievement level in karate.”

The late, great Pat Morita has passed on, but if either Ralph Macchio or Jackie Chan (who’s channeling Mr. Miyagi as “Mr. Han” in the Karate Kid remake) doesn’t end up endorsing this game, I’m going to be very disappointed.
