Everyone else has got it right. This is the best boxing video game out there. Learn the tendencies of the other fighters and develop the skills to beat them. Then put all your skills to the test as you square off against "The Baddest Man on the Planet" (in 1988).

I just always thought the fat guy should be the one running behind the bike

Punch out was a very entertaining game but adding Mike Tyson to the mix gave this game a mass appeal that is lasting longer than Mike is apparently. Check the price on this game and you'll see that while all the other games sell for fairly cheap, this game is still close to its original price due to the fun.

But the game to Fight Iron Mike in the only feasible way

Mike Tyson's punch out is the single best game ever...
and I am saying this with a clear head.
Took me 10 years to beat that game.

Mike, we know you threw the Lewis fight so you could crush his jaw in the rematch. There was probably some backroom understanding that you had to be embarrassed and KO'd in order to get Lewis in the ring. I look forward to the rematch.

Some advice Tyson... get some better trainers. The media and liberal nuts hate you, but you have a huge fanbase that loves your story and talent and wants you to regain the championship.
Some say you disgrace boxing. I disagree, you are boxing. If I had a year to train, I would enjoy sparring with you in Joe Frazier's Gym in Philly. But for now, I will enjoy your Nintendo game.

In your next match play LL's "Mama said knock you out" and knock the guy out quickly and painfully.

Peace out,
Demetrios

One of the best of NES

Mike Tyson's Punch Out was a big stepping stone for some of the earlier Nintendo games for a few reasons. It had better graphics than some other games at the time. It was one of the first Fighting games on the NES (wrestling games not counted) and it was fun.

You are Little Mac and your job is to be the best boxer in the world. How? Well, beat Iron Mike Tyson of course! You go through the game fighting many excellent (yet fictional) characters on your way to the top. You fight opponents such as Glass Joe, King Hippo, Mr. Sandman and Super Macho Man.

There were a few things I really liked about this game. One, I couldn't get tired of it. For me, that's a very strong dimension to a game. Second, no opponent fought exactly the same and each fight was very individual. You had to memorize each fighter's style and moves to win. And last, getting to Mike Tyson was a task. It wasn't easy and there was nothing you could do about it besides get better.

The one thing that I didn't like about this game was that, in my opinion, Mike Tyson wasn't that bad to deal with. Seriously, if you could dodge the 1st Round's 1:30 of Tyson's blistering 1-hit knockdown punch, you could beat him easily by the early 3rd Round.

I seriously thought that Iron Mike was going to be hardcore as hell and for me, he just wasn't what I expected. Granted yes I wouldn'r say the same to his face in fear of getting bitten but still, vast improvements to Tyson as the last character would have added another challenge. I guess for myself and a lot of other gamers was, if you could get past Super Macho Man, you could beat Tyson. That's why I'm glad they made that improvement in Super Punch Out on SNES.

Anyway, you should still get this no matter what level gaming you're at because you'll enjoy it. Have fun!

i hate boxing but love this game

This is the funnest game I've ever played period!!!
Nothing more needs to be said.
I didn't have too many games growing up but my neighbor had them ALL, no exageration.
Out of all the games, this one was definitely the funnest.

There's only a handful of games that are even close (at least in my opinion): Castlevania Symphony of the Night (PS1), Zelda I, Zelda: Link to the Past (SNES), Tecmo Bowl, NBA Live 95 (Sega), Madden 96 (Sega), Resident Evil I & IV... Super Mario 1 & 3... Mega Man II... that's about it.
Even with these, I'm still putting Mike Tyson's Punch Out in front by a long shot.

I miss this game... too bad they can't remake this one.
Has Nintendo ever re-released the NES??? I'd rebuy it for this game!!!

Oh my deary, where do I start with this game? I started playing this when I was 4 years old and every once and a while I'll break out the Nintendo and play it some more. This is the ultimate video game and even though this is the same as the original, except with Mike Tyson instead of Mr. Dream, there is something about this game that has always been a little more special to me. Mike just seems like a better opponent than Dream. Anyway, I think everyone with an NES should have this game because its hours of fun even if you hate boxing. I know I do. I just wish Nintendo would realize what a goldmine they were sitting on and release it on GBA like they did with Zelda, SMB, Ice Climber, Excitebike..., That will be a great day when I get to play it on my Gamecube instead of my dirty ol' half-dead NES.

YOU DON'T GET TO BE MIKE TYSON!

This game is kinda cheesy but for NES it's one of the best. The first thing is you start out as some little guy that doesn't have a special move. The other boxers on the game all have a special move and all you get is a big right hook. This IS a game you can play millions of times and you eventually end up memorizing the other boxers' weaknesses and get to fight "Iron" Mike Tyson himself! This is a Nintendo Classic.
