Knock em out the box!

I loved Super Punch-Out when it first came out and I play this one once in a blue moon. Instead of a boxer named Mac, you have a boxer you have to give a name. The good points of this game are plenty: Your rapid punches and super hooks are devastating to your opponent, you can gain back your energy bar by pressing buttons(after you lay your opponent out of course), you have a good time beating the snot of these guys etc. The bad points are plentiful too. A lot of these opponents cheat. Dragon Chan KICKS you while you're fighting(Disqualify him now!),Hoy Quarlow hits you with his staff, Mad Clown throws balls at you in the middle of the match, Heike Kegaro hits you with his, her or it's hair, one of them spits in your face blinding you temperarily etc. Super Macho Man is one of the most annoying opponents in the game. When he's not flexing his muscles in your face like a fruit cake, he throughs a hook that knocks you out immediately. At one time, he threw that spinning hook at me SEVEN TIMES(and the seventh one caught me)! The most exruciating out of all your opponents is definitely the Bruiser brothers, Rick and Nick. I cant complain too much because I've beat the game a few times and Narcis Prince is a nancy boy. In short, Super Punch-Out is better than its predecessor, Mike Tyson's Punch Out and is recommended to any fan of boxing video games. LONG LIVE SUPER NES!!!

Great

Im an owner of Ps2, but I always find myself going back to Super Nintendo.When i do go back, I mostly play two games.Baseball Simulator 1000, and Super Punch Out. Super Punch Out is a great game for all boxing fans.It is fun, and not too easy. I have trouble beating the third person in the first league.If you are a boxing fan, and still own and play Super Nintendo, i suggest you either get or play Super Punch out.!!!!!

This game was a fun game which you played for hours trying to beat that one last guy, but it only allows you to use one guy who seems to not have the same quality as some of his apponents. overall it was good, but could have used some work

Good game but it might not be for all boxing fans

Super Punch Out is the sequel/follow-up to Mike Tyson's Punch Out or Punch Out (depending on which version you have) and like the original Punch Out, it's a beat em up and knock em down type of boxing game that makes fun of itself.

Now Super Punch Out isn't as comedic as "Ready 2 Rumble" but it does have some funny moments in it like when you slug your opponent so hard that they look like their going bean up their lunch and whenever you knock down the Narcist Prince, that's just funny.

Only 3 characters from the original have returned, Bald Bull, Mr. Sandman and Super Macho Man. With a cast of all new boxers, with all new styles and definitely new challenges, Super Punch Out will keep you entertained.

I will admit that this might not be for all gamers. There is no mobility like Punch Out. Basically you dodge, duck and throw punches. And eventually, you do get a little tired of this one. I'd either look to buy this one cheap or rent it first (if you can). It's still a good game but it is really to each their own.

Fun, frustrating and addicting

Despite the fact the Super Nintendo had big amounts of classic games like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy III (VI to everyone else) and Super Metroid, the system had a great amount of party games that you can play with friends and just have fun. Super Punch-Out! was one of those games since you could take turns playing each fighter, or see who could best the other's time when playing time attack mode. However, the game, like a lot of the older games, was hard and at times unbelievably frustrating at parts.

Story: You're basically a boxer going through the different circuits which range from wimpy, average fighters to championship-caliber players who hit hard and fast. It's a boxing game so there's not really much of a story to begin with and fighters get their own little pre-fight quote/taunt.

Graphics: The graphics, while outdated, work extremely well in the game as your fighter, transparent except for his gloves, faces off against the different fighters who face you. Some of the taunts and moves they do is actually quite funny and unlike some games, the graphics support the game rather than stylize it without the gameplay there.

Sound/Music: The different fighters have different themes to go along with them and have small voice clips sometimes. Gabby Jay, for example, will open the match with a "yay!" and when he's about to get his big punch in, he goes "come on!" It's nothing to impressive but at least it gets the job done (although personally, I like listening to music while playing).

Gameplay: One of my least favorite things in a game is a huge sense of difficulty in that the game almost seems to be better than you and upon beating a level/boss/fighter, rather than feel elated and proud, you get frustrated that it took so long. The first 2 circuits are simple and nothing too difficult but then you hit those last 2 and oh my god, talk about frustration. Punches pack a wallop, they defend more and usually seem to know what you're about to do. If you could beat the special circuit without dying on any of them, hats off.

As for the gameplay itself, you have your body blows which hits their stomach and jabs for the face with a special punch should you fill up a meter after you get successful punches enough without getting hit. Enemies have a unique-but-limited move list so it's just simply a case of figuring out the patterns and know what to duck, what to counter and how to exploit them. But ultimately the game's not challenging because of time restraints (although you do have 3 minutes) or because of enemy strength/speed but because your guy doesn't dodge/duck quick enough and there was times where I'd dodge the first and second attacks only to get hit anyway by the second that I was supposed to be dodging. It's minor but in the heat of battle...(heh), it gets on your nerves.

If you can even track it down, I'd highly recommend it as its quite fun but those with low blood pressure and get easily frustrated might wanna stay clear, or at least prepare yourself.

A Classic

SNES has been "dead" for some time now, but I just discovered this game at my cousins house, and for me it was the perfect reason to bring out the SNES. Everything about this game is right on. The graphics are as good as can be expected from a 2D 16-Bit game. Each of the different boxers has many different animations and poses, and it will take a different strategy to beat each one. The sound is superb, even better then some of the pitiful sound that is on 128-Bit games. The controls are VERY simple, and anyone should be able to pick this one up within five minutes. The difficulty level on this game is great, it is challenging, but not to the point where you don't want to play anymore. The first boxer is fairly straightforward, but from then on out it will take strategy to beat them. Overall this is a fabulous game, anyone who likes to play classic games, or anyone with a SNES needs to own this. Highly, recommended.

Game for everyone in the family

I bought this for my 7 year old son. Soon, my husband began to play... then my daughter began to play. It is fast paced and easy to get started playing. The higher you are ranked, the tougher your competition. They all have different styles and first you must figure out your opponent's style before you can beat him and move up.

wow

right after K.O.'ing the first boxer i knew super punch out was a great game.First of all the first boxer in career mode is very easy but after that every boxer has a different skill that you will have to figure out how to counter for example raging bull,likes to do his bull charge on you and if you dont counter it he will knock you out in one punch.This game is great for a 16 bit system i have had this game for 5 years and i still play it because it is one of the best boxing games to ever hit super nes.When i first got it i assumed it would be a boxing game that would be fun but get old fast but alas i was wrong instead of being fun for five minutes it has been fun for five good years.This game is rare and old so if you whant it you better get yourself a copy before you will never find it anywhere again and than you will be crying because you had a chance a few months ago to buy it but now it is nowhere to be seen.

Not exactly fond of boxing, but this is fantastic

This is a total classic as it brings the original Nintendo game into better light with far more competition, challenge and cartoon violence. You are the boxer, "Little Mack" or "Little Joe" one of the two, and you must work your way up through the boxing circuit by ofcourse fighting in bouts finally getting to one of the titles. I recommend renting it first before playing it, because I am sure its not for everyone.

Alsome Game

Man this game is one of the best games on the snes. I don't have this game but every time I go to a Hotel I order it like 4 or 5 times.This game is really challanging there are 3 or 4 leagues that you play in and each 1 is harder than the 1 before.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER FOR SNES THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 3 REALLY GOOD GAMES THEY ARE SUPER PUNCH OUT, WWF RAW, AND BATTLETOADS AND DOUBLE DRAGON.
