Super Punch-Out!!

The boxing series returns on the Super Nintendo, now featuring you as a new boxer. Facing off against opponents from throughout the series, as well as new boxers, your aim is to become holder of the World Video Boxing Association belt.

Each boxer attacks with specific techniques, and it is your job to recognise and break through their techniques to defeat them.

While the game borrows heavily from the ten year old arcade versions, the game is highly polished, with updated graphics and sound, and with huge cartoon boxers.
