Awesome vid as always. I will go on record saying that the training montage music running near the statue of liberty, is one of the most badass tracks in video game history!!!
Fun fact: When Buster Douglas defeated Mike Tyson, the underdog Douglas was featured on the cover of a magazine called “Boxing 90” beating the NES game; Tyson’s Punch Out. He was holding the NES controller with boxing gloves with the caption “He wasn’t playing games.”
Great Tiger is my favorite! Always feel so bad defeating him. Not all the time though, he was hard to beat for a while to me! Great video! Punch-Out!! is so good!
@@ricky-sanchez he almost turned homer into a cripple until moe flew in on a paramotor and flew him out lol.....awesomeness...... What's your prediction for the fight? PAIN!!!!
Actually, Tyson's legal troubles didn't really start, at least not the really serious offenses, until 1993, and it has been said that it had nothing to do with his removal from the revised edition. The license had simply expired, and the decision not to renew it all came down to two factors - Tyson's price had skyrocketed since the original agreement, and plus he lost to James "Buster" Douglas in early 1990, so he was no longer the undefeated champ. That's why the license with Tyson was not renewed.
I don't think that is true either. What I heard was Nintendo got Tyson for only $50,000 initially because it was just before he won the title and became a megastar. By the time it came to renew his license, the price had gone WAY up and wasn't worth it to Nintendo.
No its because the license to use him expired and since Tyson was alot bigger than he intially was, it would of cost more than twice the amount to renew the license. Nintendo didnt want to pay the over inflated price so they didnt renew and could no longer use Tyson.
Hey PatmanQC, Punch-out was my all-time favorite arcade game as a wee lad in the early 80's. I used to beg my dad to take me to a sleazy bowling alley because it was the only place i knew that had Punch-Out. Get well soon and get back to making videos! Praying for you, brother!
You got one thing wrong. The reason why Tyson was taken off reproductions of PunchOut!! It was because the contract for his likeness was up. It ended a little over a year before Tyson started to get in trouble. So it had nothing to do with his legal troubles. This is extremely verifiable. Other than that, I love your vids the are refreshing and just overall GREAT!
I never had any idea that there was any punch out arcades. You just deliver banger after banger! I'm binge watching the channel bud! Great job with the vid!
I remember to me, as a just a kid, this arcade game was obviously at another level technologically for that time. The amount of speech in the game, dual screens, the huge sprites and (pseudo) 3D type wireframe models, was all cutting edge.
Wow, there was so much I didn't know. I knew that downward elbow was coming from Rick Bruiser though (9:11). Great video though. I think it's definitely one of the best so far, but I may be a little biased because of the game.
I never cared for actual boxing but as a game the NES Tyson punch out was one of the ones i played most. I had it when young and played it many times. It was awsome and i dont think i ever beat Tyson. 👍🏻
Punch-out was the first video game i ever played at Alfanos down the cove in New Haven Ct in 87 88....They had Punch out, Crime Fighters (Konami) and APB.... My dad had Atari and my favorite was Keystone Capers...then...i got the Nintendo... GAAAH leeeee i hope we get a new punch out on switch... or a wii remaster without having to use a sideways wiimote...How many people didnt know about Arcade Super punch out till internet and emulators?!?! When i realized Bear Huggers and Dragon Chans first appearance wasn't on the SNES that blew my mind!!! Punch out is so special to me. So Alfanos moved out Punch out in like 89 and i hadn't seen it anywhere even the arcade in CT (Milford rec) didnt have it anymore....FIRST time i go to Florida right, we go to Disney for the day and when we parked the rental car in the garage, near the vending machine i hear it...the Familiar music playing but could it be?!?!?!? DAAAAAAD they got punch out... needless to say my mother was like look at you 2 asshole were in florida and this kids about to go to Universal tomorrow and youre in a hotel garage playing video games... they also had Yi-Ar kung fu and i fell in love with that music and game too!! Awesome video sorry to make this all about me but i really love Punchout and i wish it would get an Action figure line... i have them king hippo and Mac PVC from like 89 but we need some jointed scale figs!!! Final fight and night breed do as well
Good review. I didn't play Punch-Out much, but I did play a PC game called "4D Boxing" which had polygonal fighters with flat shaded polygons. There hasn't be a good boxing game in a while, which is a bit of a shame
4d boxing Was an excellent polygon boxing game that I originally played for the Amiga. I haven't played it for a long time but I do remember it being very good. Thanks for the kind words
Yet another great vid man. You should do one on Killer Instinct. It's a shame that the ports, as good as some are, never could quite touch the original arcade.
When I saw the trainer I thought it looks exactly like Stanley! Then you named him and put the photo, unbelivable! Someone must have sent him this already
Nintendo didn't drop Tyson due to legal troubles though. His contract for endorsement expired and they chose not to renew at that time....great channel, keep it up!
the punch out series has five games, punch out, super punch out, punch out, super punch out, and punch out. I love it when Nintendo is creative with it's naming
Superb video and research !! I had Frank Bruno on C64 and it was tough back in the day. Looking forwards to your next video you are one of my favourite game gurus. Space Harrier would be a good one to do someday Pat.
Space Harrier is a good one that I've just added to my list. Thanks for watching and also thanks for the kind words. Glad you're enjoying my documentary
Cool vid, Patman. This is one of the very few games I actually beat on NES. It all came down to learning patterns. I missed the reason for the double screen cabinet, what was that again? Thanks!
They had a surplus of extra monitors In their warehouse So they created a game that would use to monitors instead of one. I beat him once on the NES but that was it. Tyson was too hard
RW:Patman the way your hard work for this vid and history of PUNCHOUT! is a real TKO! Thank you this game reminds me of those Rocky and Real Steel movies and even rock em sock em robots!😁 ✌️(Oh yeah btw) *DING DING!* 🤜🤛🥊👍
Everyone loved it when Mike Tyson became one of the boxers in Punch-Out!! But when they added Bruce Lee to UFC about two decades later, there came controversy.
I always wondered how they got the scaling sprites into early arcade hardware like with Punch Out!!. I was obsessed with the arcade version as a kid so in response when the "cut down" NES port arrived I was a little disappointed at first. That didn't last long though. To be completely honest I didn't know about arcade Super Punch Out nor the SNES version until I was an adult!
I can recall seeing the original punch out in the arcades for the first time. I too was a bit disappointed in the NES version but I learned to love it and have played every iteration ever since. I was really good at super punch out on the super Nintendo but my nephew Christopher was absolutely awesome at the game.
I've heard for decades how tough Mike Tyson is to beat in that game but I only ever played the game once and I was too young to be good enough to get that far Put it like this I was young enough for King hippo to freighten me lol and that's about how far I got I think o may have been about 5 years old when I played it I think it might have been relatively new as I was 5 years old in 1991 some I'm not sure how Long the game was out by then
I had the NES at the time and my two favorite games for the console was Punch Out and Legend of Zelda. Still today I don't think there is any boxing games that is more fun than Punch Out for NES and Super Punch out for SNES.
I'm sure someone said this already, but above the top rope when you focus on Donkey Kong and Mario, you can also see Donkey Kong Jr (above to the right of Mario) and Luigi (above and to the left of Donkey Kong)
This game was one of my favorites and unlike my other favorites from way back when, this game is still hours of fun lol. When are you going to do a video on streets of rage ?
That was such an overwhelming simplification of Mr. Miyamoto's career. He said a joystick would work better with Punch Out, then went on to produce for the Wii. (Let's just ignore Mario, Zelda, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc)
@The Lavian You make a good point, but perhaps it would have been better to say something like 'He said a joystick would work better, then went on to become arguably the most prolific designer in history.' There's no need to spend more than a sentence or two on him, but one can still do that while acknowledging his overall importance. The video was great. Looking back at my comment, my intention was to simply make a lighthearted comment on the reduction of such an iconic career. Clearly I failed in that intention and it came off much more harsh than it should have. My bad...........yo.
I don't care what anybody says about his troubles... it will always be "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!!" If they had tried to make the game without him to begin with, it would NEVER have become the Legendary game it still is today!
Hate to sound like a broken record, but Nintendo ending the use of Mike Tyson`s image was a licensing issue and had nothing to do with his incarceration. Great video though.
Thank you, all the research I did (And as I'm sure you could tell I do a heck of a lot of research) I didn't run across anything about the license running out.
Yep, the contract had expired - but as Tyson had lost his title to Buster Douglas by this point, Nintendo didn't feel like renewing it. Tyson wasn't convicted until the following year.
@@lister_of_smeg6545 Nintendo was to cheap to renew it. Mike Tyson was huge, even after his loss to buster douglas. Nintendo couldn't afford Mike Tyson, or just didn't wanna pay.
I was really good at Punch Out but I couldn't be beat at Super Punch Out. I turned the score over by racking up a million points plus. Eventually, I had to lose on purpose because I was getting too tired.
If there is a switch version, it should hav mor guest opponents. My 3 suggestions are Balrog from street fighter, Alex from tekken,& Hitmonchan from pokemon
A Lot Of People Don't Know about Pressing Down-Down with The D-Pad on The NES Game: MikeTyson's Punch-Out, You Do a Faster Form of Dodge. *I Think it's Called Glinting...I Think.
PatmanQC- History of arcade game documentaries Speaking of Mike Tyson Did You know that in the Game ''Street Fighter 2'' The Character Balrog the Boxer's Original Name was Suppose to be M. Bison?
@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries hope in this 2020 they give us a clue. Great videos by the way. I just started watching them since last week. Keep the great job.
i could have absolutely sworn they changed it from Mike Tysons punch out to buster Douglas punch out which would have been a bad decision. i can remember in my head seeing the boxes for Buster Douglas punch out, but now that im googling it can find absolutely no evidence WTF.
