Your welcome is the traditional chimes of any boxing match while the screen is black. A few moments later, the Gilette Cavalcade of Sports song begins to play. Punch Out!! promises the presence of one of the biggest and most controversial stars in sports. The promise is immediately fulfilled and shows us the 8-bit version of Dynamite Boy: Michael Gerard Tyson, who tells you that he expects you to challenge him and serves as a cover letter for this port of the hugely successful arcade title of the same name.
Punch Out !! It came out because Nintendo decided to apply the old advice to make lemonade if you get lemons. They had arcade monitors to spare and made the wise decision to use them in another title. To get the most out of the excess resources the game had 2 screens, in the purest Nintendo DS style: the top one showed statistics and data, while the bottom one we controlled an unknown fighter who didn't even reach a name. It was simply called Challenger, like the space shuttle. Taking advantage of the popularity of sport in the United States, Nintendo did not think twice and launched the first version of this franchise that, without being the most outstanding of the company, occupies an important place. I knew about the arcade version a long time after the NES one and I definitely stick with the second one. I just don't feel comfortable controlling a character made of green wire mesh, plus the referee counts so fast it seems like he wants to go to the bathroom. As if that were not enough, there is a narrator who says what fist you are hitting with and it is most annoying.
Very enjoyable game. Thanks for the well written review.
Este juego era mi favorito en mi juventud, excelente.
The Punch Out series is one of the best boxing series ever made.
