Super Punch-Out!!
Super Punch-Out!! (1994) is a cartoony boxing video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System designed, developed, and published by Nintendo. The game features a dirty-blonde haired (that the player names) working his way up the WVBA (World Video Boxing Association) circuits, facing a series of colorful, fictional boxers up until a final fight with the undefeated, Nick Bruiser.
Bald Bull, Mr. Sandman and Super Macho Man all return from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! while Piston Hurricane (with a new look) returns from Punch-Out!! and Bear Hugger and Dragon Chan return from Super Punch-Out!!
Gameplay
The game requires good reflexes in reaction to the computer-controlled boxers' moves, as the more advanced boxers give very little indication of their coming moves. Like the three games before it, Super Punch-Out!! incorporated enough variety to be a challenge to even the most experienced of players. However, players can learn the computer-controlled boxers'patterns of attack.
