Ubisoft's upcoming Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network games won't be the only way to get yourScott Pilgrim fix on a gaming platform this summer. Blockdot, makers of fine software like the Always maxi pad roller coaster game, just released Pilgrim's Punch-Out for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.

The free download is pretty much exactly what it sounds like in the title: a retro-styled homage to Nintendo's classic boxing game, only with Punch-Out's cast of endearingly racist caricatures replaced by the folks from Universal Picture's Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie.

It's probably not the best Punch-Out clone you'll ever play, but at least this thing won't cost you a cent. Besides, it might even be good for a few laughs -- assuming you're not immediately repulsed by the sound of Michael Cera's voice, that is. Give it a try and let us know what you think in our comments.
