Item Description
Punch-Out!! on the NES is one of the best-loved action games in Nintendo's library, a home adaptation of the 1984 arcade Punch-Out!! and Super Punch-Out!! that generations of players have worked through. This is the 1990 version: when Nintendo's license to use Mike Tyson's likeness expired, the game was renamed Punch-Out!! and the fictional Mr. Dream took his place as the final opponent, with the same moves. Little Mac, a 17-year-old from the Bronx trained by Doc Louis, climbs the ranks of the World Video Boxing Association through the Minor, Major and World Circuits against a colorful roster of larger-than-life opponents, each with their own timing patterns, tells and personality. Learning each fighter's rhythm is one of the most satisfying puzzles the NES ever offered.
The gameplay is deceptively simple on the surface: dodge, block, counter and punch your way to the top. Underneath, it rewards patience and sharp reflexes in equal measure. Every opponent is a puzzle wrapped in personality, and landing a perfectly timed counter on Glass Joe to earn a star, then cashing it in for an uppercut, feels as good the hundredth time as the first. The character design and animation are remarkable for the hardware, giving fighters such as King Hippo and Bald Bull genuine presence, with Mario as the referee and many opponents walking out to music tied to their home countries.
The climb to the title is where the game earns its reputation. Familiar faces such as Piston Honda and Bald Bull return in the World Circuit with new tricks, so what you learned in an earlier bout is only half the answer. Little Mac's heart meter drains whenever he takes a hit or has a punch blocked, and when it runs out he turns pink and can only dodge until he catches his breath, which keeps button-mashing honest. Between bouts Doc Louis offers his advice, the training montage of Mac jogging behind Doc's bicycle has become a piece of NES shorthand, and a password system lets you pick up the circuit where you left off.
This 1990 release is also the version Nintendo has kept in circulation ever since, the one used for its Virtual Console releases, the NES Classic Edition and Nintendo Switch Online, so the showdown with Mr. Dream is the ending most players since 1990 have fought for. Playing it on an original cartridge with a real NES controller in hand is the best way to feel just how tight that timing is.

About the game
You are Little Mac, a 17 year-old rookie fighter straight out of the Bronx. What you lack in size you more than make up for in determination. Spurred on by your trainer, Doc Louis, it's time to take on the world's boxing best! Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! was re-branded simply as Punch-Out!!, and re-released in the US and Europe in 1990. When Nintendo's license had expired with Mike Tyson, his likeness was replaced by a fictional character named Mr. Dream, whose visual likeness and undefeated record are based on Rocky Marciano. This version of the game is used in all Virtual Console releases, Animal Crossing, the NES Classic Edition, and on Nintendo Switch Online (which Mike Tyson contested).
