From Tomato Cans To Mike Tyson: The Definitive Punch-Out!! Fighter Power Rankings

Glass Joe, Mike Tyson and everybody in between. Who are our favorite boxers in Punch-Out!! history?

TheSanchezDavid3226d ago

Yeah, I was never able to take Mr. Dream seriously as a replacement for Tyson.

GigawattConduit3226d ago

To be fair, it IS Mike Tyson. Could anyone have been a serious, legit replacement?

Pretty cool. But a few decades late. Would have added fun couch multiplayer value and replayability of the game at the time.

Not even sure if I have it in storage anymore. Looks great on a cellphone though... Wink...

Pisj* I played that game so much as a kid, me and my friend used to go through crushing each other scores. Betting gabby in 6-8 seconds, and destroying piston hurricane in 10 seconds was our go to. I miss those days but still great memories.

Popsicle626d ago

Same. Had plenty of body blows waiting for Piston Hurricane.

ApocalypseShadow626d ago

Same. We played this game to death. Among other SNES games. This would have had us playing it even more. Telling us now when most of us have gotten married, had kids and those kids have had kids with everyone graying or lost their hair is too late.

Nostalgia now sits on phone. With my brother holding half our consoles in storage and I hold the others just in case of fire or theft.

I really enjoyed Commando as a kid and it’s not listed . I bet it’s cheap maybe? Beat all 99 levels just to find out you start all over again .

djl3485849d ago

You must be talking about Captain Commando and no it's not cheap...going for about $130.

I'm surprised Illusion of Gaia doesn't cost more

Any retro console is still worth buying in 2022 whether a Genesis, NES, SMS, TG16. Some systems command a higher price then others but a SNES is still reasonably priced and worth grabbing you can mod the NA SNES to play Japanese games throw in an Everdrive and you're set. I feel sorry for some of the consoles I see on Ebay that have holes in them, yellowed to death, modified with shitty mods that barely work. The SNES might need a little work great way to learn if yellowed just use peroxide and UV light and it will turn white again. If you have a hobby of repairing older consoles that are listed as untested broken for parts some of the repairs are basic you can save money that way when buying a retro console. I just bought a $20 NES listed as broken on Ebay disable the lock out chip and new 72pin connector and it works.

I imagine restoration work on retro consoles is going to become much more important as the years wear on. Sure, hundreds of thousands of certain consoles were made, but fewer exist every year.

Knightofelemia849d ago (Edited 849d ago )

Depends on the console a SNES for sure needs retrobrite the plastic grows brittle and literally falls apart same with the NES. A White Dreamcast also needs retrobrite if I remember right the TG16 needs new capacitors it suffers the same issue as the Game Gear. Most of the old handhelds need new screens since they fail with age my Game Gear had new capacitors put in and a McWill mod done to it. The NES needs the lock out chip disabled when the power light turns on and off maybe throw in a new 72pin as well. Sega Master System has an issue blowing out the 7805 voltage regulator. OG Xbox depending on the board revision needs a clock capacitor removed or it leaks and fries the board. N64 controller needs a new thumbstick Sega Genesis model 2 suffers from the solder around the power supply is prone to cracking hence the system will not power up. Sega CD model 1 the laser dies fast model 2 the rubber feet supporting the drive fail and the model is know to throw the pico fuse so it dies fast as well.

It also depends how you treat the system also I baby my shit. I don't throw it around like a football the systems I see that might need the most help going through the years are the ones that use lasers and discs. I know some systems have problems due to how they were built as well like again certain board revisions of an OG Xbox and the Game Gear. I have bought broken systems and picked them for parts. I actually enjoy fixing older systems it's relaxing and a great way to teach yourself new skills.

I own both copies on the NES I own the SNES and Wii port Punch out is a good franchise.

Jeriphro1205d ago

I absolutely love the series! Own all the NES copies and I even have that Club Nintendo exclusive Doc Louis's Punch-Out. ;)

ZeekQuattro1205d ago

I'd like that. Make it happen Nintendo.

Inverno1205d ago

So long as he doesn't go to EA or Ubi for some spiritual successor. It would be a smart move right now since he's come back into the boxing scene right? Capitalize on the hype, Ninty.
