With a 15 year long absence from Nintendo’s consoles, many gamers completely wrote Punch Out!! off as an oldschool game. The series was a hit during the NES era remembered by virtually any owner, spawned a well received sequel during the SNES era --- then it just disappeared. It missed out on the N64’s time in homes, and also called in sick for Gamecube duty.

Thankfully, with Nitnendo’s desire to revive old franchises, Punch Out!! was finally set to rise from the ashes. While nothing much has changed in the core gameplay since the 1987 original, the game does its job blending the nostalgia from over a decade ago with mainstream gaming to entertain you. It’s a good game and does the name justice-even if it’s for a short while.
