Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! is a sports game that was re-released in 1990 as Punch-Out!! (NES).
+ Boxers ooze personality and their unique attacks give the game a puzzle-like element where button mashing is punished.+ Despite the small amount of button inputs, there's lots of strategy to each bout, as well as various secrets to uncover.
+ Learning how to earn a Star Punch from each opponent is fun, and using them wisely can lead to devastating KOs.
+ Difficulty curve is spot-on and the Circuits slowly help to improve your skills before throwing the kitchen sink at you.
+ Includes a handy password system that allows you to skip ahead to different Circuits, or battle against later opponents.
+ Iconic cut-scenes with some amazing parallax scrolling effects, and the chunky character sprites have terrific animation.
- Some boxers are repeated in later Circuits, and while they do have new attacks, a fully unique roster would have been nice.
