Long-time friend Bryan steps into the ring with Mike and Jaymo in the ring for Punch-Out!! (NES, 1987) and Super Punch-Out! (SNES, 1994), continuing their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog!
In this episode, we match up Punch-Out!! and Super Punch-Out!! in a head-to-head bout sponsored by the Cable Club podcast. We’ll debate whether Punch-Out!! holds up or not with Mr. Dream replacing Mike Tyson, unveil the hidden two-player mode in Super Punch-Out!!, and marvel at the insane levels that Punch-Out!! speed runners have achieved. Will these two games be O.K. or K.O.ed?
