Punch-Out!! Description

A first-person perspective boxing game where you fight six boxers in the WVBA. The player character is a green wire frame model who must defeat all the opponents to become the champion. The commentator says "Body blow!", "Stick and move!" and "Great fighting! You're an up and coming boxer!"

Cheats, Tricks and Bugs

To score a quick knockdown on both Bald Bull and Piston Hurricane, pop them in the head when they charge you. Look for them to back off for a second, then when they run in toward you, let them have it with a quick left. Watch for their eyes to flash in the earlier rounds to get the timing down for the later ones.

Game Introduction

The top monitor is used for statistics while the bottom is used to display the game. The game has two speakers, one wired to each monitor. One speaker is used for the commentator, the other for the crowd noise and music.

The World Video Boxing Association boxers are fought in the following order:

  1. Glass Joe
  2. Piston Hurricane
  3. Bald Bull
  4. Kid Quick
  5. Pizza Pasta
  6. Mr. Sandman

Game Play

The object of the game is to beat up your opponents.
  • Glass Joe basically stands around waiting to lose. No real strategy there.
  • For Piston Hurricane, stick with body blows, and wait for that charge. If you miss the knockdown, block up, then down, etc, until he stops.
  • Bald Bull will charge at you as well, but is easier to knock down than Piston Hurricane.
  • For Kid Quick, set him up with a right to the head. He'll counter, then dodge and hit him with three left jabs. Repeat until you knock him out.
  • Pizza Pasta will grab you -- dodge right then pummel his head until he's down -- he won't fight back.
  • Mr. Sandman is fast, but very predictable. Just dodge and counter and you'll be fine.

After winning the belt, the fighters are more difficult, and Kid Quick doesn't appear at all; ditto for Pizza Pasta after his second appearance. The biggest hurdle to overcome is Piston Hurricane; he will run down the clock. For Mr. Sandman, Bald Bull and Glass Joe, don't lead with the left since they will jump around it and nail you every time.

Miscellaneous

SPINOFF: Arm Wrestling (Bald Bull even makes an appearance here as 'Mask X'!)

VAPS Arcade Census

GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Very Common - There are 93 known instances of Punch-Out!! owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 81 of them are original dedicated machines, it is a conversion in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 11 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 57,114 video games (3,420 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 23 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - Very Popular - There are 19 VAPS members currently looking for Punch-Out!!.

For Sale - There are 5 VAPS members with Punch-Out!! machines for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Trivia

Other Nintendo characters appear in the audience. Look for Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Donkey Kong Junior.
