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 1990 Punch-Out!! is also the version Nintendo has kept in circulation, used for the game's Virtual Console releases, the NES Classic Edition and Nintendo Switch Online, so this cartridge is the original home of the version most players know today. A password system lets you pick a career back up at the start of a circuit, Doc Louis offers his advice between rounds, and the formula carried straight into Super Punch-Out!! on the Super Nintendo and the 2009 Wii revival, which brought Glass Joe, King Hippo and much of the NES roster back into the ring. Played on an NES with the original controller, it is the boxing game that taught a generation to read an opponent instead of mashing a button.

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).
