Man, as a kid in the late 80s, I remember staying up all night in the summertime playing this game, trying to beat it. Now, at 45 years of age, I can't remember if I beat it or not! 😂😂😂!! It's time to finish what I started 35 years ago!
I'm 45 as well. And man, I think I only beat Mike Tyson a couple times, but only by the "referee's decision" after round 3 lol. But I grew up watching other boys older than me playing the game. I think that was the only reason why I became pretty good at the game. lol
I actually beat Tyson as a teenager. Greatest accomplishment in a video game I've ever had. None of my friends could do it. The feeling I got was immeasurable.
@@weirdo24-7🥰🤗 @deletedcomment2478 yeah it was probably my greatest game accomplishment I can remember. Never got the glove but didn't mean I didn't want it. That was the original Wii Sports 😂.
When I was a little girl, playing this on dad's old NES, I got good enough that I was able to beat everyone else, no problem, but could never beat Tyson. No matter how hard I tried, couldn't get the pattern down on him, so seeing this, at least now I see what I wasn't able to do as a kid. Thank you so very much for this.
@@edwardgaines6561😂😂😂👍 They sure did! My sister was better at every game I ever played. And when I got stuck playing Zelda or something, she would bail me out. Show me where to go next
Fun fact: Mike Tyson's stats, as of the game's release date of October 18, 1987, are indeed true to life. He did indeed have 31 wins (27 KO's and 4 UD's) when the game was released. According to Wikipedia, at that time, his most recent match was against Tony Tucker on August 1, 1987 at the Las Vegas Hilton, of which he won by Unanimous Decision.
I found the fight accurate too, no one was going to drop tyson early then. Youd have to drag him into the deeper rounds if you could survive to had thought about fighting him on your terms. Huge tyson fan here, ive read his book and saw his stand up show live. Used to remember how much he got paid for the NES deal. It was a healthy ammount for the 80s! I beleive he would buy kids nintendos back in his hometown too, one of the only "celebrities" I like and can relate with. That money never really made him happy.
Ugh, he is still very iffy for me. With that random stationary bouncing around before that three uppercut combo. I noticed he gets bit more predictable with that uppercut combo in rounds 2 and 3.
@@Joe_334 yup as long as you time it right he's not that hard, I remember as a kid raging because I thought you had to spam moving on his special as fast as you could because his special was so fast and I thought you had to tap as fast as you can and I got KOed every time lol but then I realized you don't even need to do that, just time it and move lol then i beat him. Good times
Me neither. Can't beat him here but on the Super NES he's easy as pie. Weird huh? I can't get pass Super Macho Man on here as well and same thing on Suoer Nintendo i can beat him but not on the nes
he gave me the hardest time also i lost to Tyson the most then SAndman the second most by far but i eventually was able to beat SAndman quite often and id breeze through MAcho Man he never gave me problems but SAndman did even after i beat ihm multiple times..
@@leelunk8235 Paul is trying to back out Tyson already rocked him, pauls a pusy he's has body guards around him in public, he got his @$$ whooped by a nobody in a bar...twice, he's a punk
It doesn’t get much better than Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out. This game was so popular that I could never even buy it as a kid as it was always sold out at Toys R Us. Getting a star and then doing an uppercut is one of the most satisfying dynamics in any video game I’ve ever played. Also, I would say that Mike Tyson is one of the best final bosses of all time.
@@NintendoComplete I think that this and Zelda were the two most impossible NES games to buy or rent. Other games were super hard to find at release, but then availability normalized. However, these two were impossible to find from when they came out until the very end of the NES lifespan (in my experience). The only other game that ranked up there was Mega Man 2. Merry Christmas Alex!
Ah yeah, you're right. Zelda was almost never in stock. I ended up renting Zelda 2 many times because I couldn't get the first one. I remember Mario 3 also being rental unobtainium. Thanks man, Merry Christmas to you, too!
I will never forget going to college in the fall of 1989. We were all moving into an on-campus townhouse, and someone plugged in their NES downstairs and we all took turns playing punch out. That's how all the guys met each other, we kidded my roommate because he got beaten by glass joe, and we all bonded that first night over this dumb game! I dropped out after 1 year, and I have no idea what happened to any of those guys. But for that one night, we were all high on life and all giddy because we had moved away from home to school. I had an Atari when I was a kid, but I was not playing video games and had never played nintendo. We had great times and it's a fantastic dear old memory
Omg 😆 I’m 42 so I had to be 5 or 6 watching my big brother play this & we never even seen Tyson 🤣 I can’t wait to show him this video… took me back to a place when life was good 😂 you are a legend for this video
We all remember Tyson as one of if not THE greatest final bosses in gaming history because he tested your every ability learned up to then to the max. If anything even close to as challenging ended a game today we'd all cry foul and use every term in the critics book to dismiss it.
I was born in the70s, grew up playing video games in the 80s. I still play NES and it eats me up inside that I have never beaten Mike Tyson and I have never landed the plane on the god damned aircraft carrier in Top Gun.
This guy brought up Top Gun?! We don't speak in public about plane landings on aircraft carriers... a lot of us suffer terrible PTSD over this. HAHAH :)
I've only ever played the Mr. Dream version, but this is the one that most people will refer to. Punch-Out!! is a classic. It sets itself apart from most other fighting games because of how it punishes you for carelessly spamming punches and not learning everyone's attack patterns. And you can't forget that soundtrack or Doc Louis riding that bicycle.
@@GaryBeltz I don't know. I've never gotten to him. But, I am willing to bet that it's the same exact match - just without Tyson's likeness, of course.
Man. This takes me back! So many memories of sights and sounds of my childhood. I am 50 now. It took me less than a year to master every fighters patterns and defeat Tyson! I used to play it over and over. I honestly think it was the only NES game I ever won/completed! Thanks for the walk down memory lane.❤
@@jenniferburchill3658I Think Its Because At That Time He Was The World Champion But Then Lost His Title, Thus Losing His Ties With Nintendo And So They Re-Released The Game Where Its Just Called Punch-Out Now And The Dream Fight Was Now Reworked With A New Fighter Called Mr. Dream
As a Japanese born in 1984, I never got to see Mike Tyson in this game lol This game was difficult for me as a child and I couldn't play it well at all. Thank you for your video that showed me Tyson.
What weirdly really strikes me watching this years later is how well I remember all the wonderful sounds. I didn’t appreciate it properly at the time, but the sound effects are so evocative now. Classic game!
Played this game as a kid. Was hard to begin with but after playing it a lot of times, got better with the movements including Tyson’s punches. Good game though.
I keep thinking of the Studio C sketch on Punch Out. "You booked me in a fight with Mike Tyson? I weigh 100 pounds and he's the world heavyweight champion." "Yes you can Mac." "So this is how I die....I hate you forever and always." "Join the Nintendo fan club today."
Loved this game growing up, it’s a true classic. I only ever beat Tyson once at the 2:59 mark in the last round-I won by the skin of my teeth, but still thrilled I (barely) won. 😄

Champion: “Iron” Mike Tyson 🇺🇸 (or Mr. Dream in the 1990 rerelease, 28:15)
What a fun game to play growing up in the 80s. All the boxing characters were so exciting to me as a kid. Seeing them again brings back so nostalgia. And now Mike is back in the ring again. Unbelievable!
I got my name in Nintendo power in 1989 as first person to beat Tyson! I got so good at this game I could sit down now and in 2-3 try’s beat Tyson over 30 years later
I always heard about how awesome this game was, and now I got to see up close and personal. The higher you go in the ranks, the harder it is for stars to get the “power punches.” Sometimes you have to “rope the dope” to get him where you want him for the knockout blow.
I used to play this all the time! I found this game a year ago, and loaded it up and let my 20yr old daughter play. She lost to Flemonco... And not the 2nd one the 1st one!! , I was so ashamed I just shook my head. 😮😂
Fun fact: during the bald bull fights, when bald bull is about to do his bull charge, a camera from the bottom right of the crowd flashes, indicating the time a player should throw a punch and knock him down. Similarly, in the macho man fight, a person in the bottom right wearing sunglasses drops his shades when macho man is about to throw his single close-line punch. You can see it at 24:24
As a kid, Super Macho Man was my stop. Playing on Wii or Nes Classic I couldnt get past Soda Popinski because of input lag. It took a CRT and the original nes to finally beat Tyson! It felt so great all these years later.
This is what got me into watching real boxing. My dad is a boxing fan and growing up we would play punch out together and as I grew older he introduced me to the fights on ppv (we had the black box😂)...and it's been our bonding activity ever since. As a kid I could always get to tyson but never beat him legit. I could beat tyson with game genie or saved states.
And the good old days of watching boxing on HBO, Showtime, ESPN, ABC, Prime Network (later Fox Sports Net and Bally Sports) and USA, way before the days of Premier Boxing Champions, TrillerTV (formerly FITE) and DAZN!
Such a timeless classic. Mr dream can’t compare in his port to the original. Can’t believe all those carts still work despite the heavy usage over the years.
Fun Fact: Did you know Mike Tyson never heard or played the game til 2013 since Nintendo no longer has the license to Mike Tyson when he was defeated by Buster Douglas for the very first time
How is that? They are in every way the exact same except for Tyson and Dream color. Their trunks are even the same. Every punch and every dance are the same.
Just a week after Summoning Salt did his speedrun history video on this game, we get this as well :) One thing that always confused me though was why Bald Bull was ranked below Don Flamenco in the World Circuit.

Watching this playthrough brought me so much joy!!! 😊 I know it must have took you a good amout of your time to make it. You are an awesome TH-camr! Thanks so much!!! ❤
Watching this brings back so many great memories! I can feel myself getting tensed up again remembering mashing buttons trying to land punches! This was my favorite NES game and an all-time classic. Someone find me a time machine...
Thanks so much for showing me how to get more stars in Round 2 of Mike Tyson. After ten years, I have finally beat all fighters and seen the end screen.
I think what also contributed to making this game so great was you had to learn every fighter, everyone has their own style. I'm a big fan of Champion, but every fighter basically threw the same punches, just with different attributes. Although I haven't played Undisputed, the one thing I've noticed is that every boxers' style is different and somewhat relates to how they move in the ring, physics just seem to be off.
Never played this as a kid though new about it. I was more into non-sports games. Very excellent playthrough. Thank you for letting me watch it from a pro for the first time. Was enjoyable..
Oh you’re finally getting to this little old game? Haha Can’t wait to read your detailed thoughts on this one. This is still what I’d consider the best boxing game ever made. Nothing can touch it’s playability and unique play style. Not to mention the super charming presentation and the fact it’s one of the first celebrity endorsed video games. Soda Popinski and I are having a few drink’s tonight to celebrate this channel featuring the great MTPO.
Glass Joe is the only opponent in the entire game that you can get an OHKO on. There's no other opponent you can get a KO from by just hitting them once!
I absolutely loved this game , there was a set of twin teenagers that lived up from me, they were the only dudes I ever seen even make it to Mike Tyson. I had my grandparents get me the power glove because of this game
Good show! I've been playing this game for 35 years now, and still can't beat it. I make it to Super Macho Man reliably, but I've only beaten him perhaps a half dozen times, and I've never beat Tyson...
I remember going to toys R us to purchase this game back in 1988 in Las Vegas along with spy hunter. The games were stored behind the glass like todays method
I never saw a Toys R Us with a glass case. The ones I went to had tickets that you'd take to checkout. The actual games were a walk-in cage near the exit.
I like how Mike compliments your "finger speed" if you win, just to make it clear that unless we were Buster Douglas, we were never, _ever_ going to knock him out anywhere but on our NES.
31:51: “So we have a new WVBA Heavyweight Champion of the World in Little Mac, the 17 year old Bronx native who took care of the 27 year old Super Macho Man in two rounds, and it took five knockdowns for Little Mac to achieve his lifelong dream. That’s it from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The Legend of Zelda and this were my first 2 NES games. I was nervous fighting Tyson until I beat him in the game regularly. It took a while on Zelda to get through level 9. They got my boys into this and they play All Zelda, Metroid, and Final Fantasy games now.
Fight Night needs to remake this. A boxer working at an arcade finds an old Punch Out arcade after taking off the dusty cover. Decides to plug it in and give it a play. He gets sucked into the game. And in order to escape, he has to become the world champ and beat Mike Tyson!

What a fun game to play growing up in the 80s. All the boxing characters were so exciting to me as a kid. Seeing them again brings back so nostalgia. And now Mike is back in the ring again. Unbelievable!
OK so I'm 46 years old when I found out you can beat Glass Joe in one punch.
Honeslty it's more fun to just work his ass over though.
This is one of the few NES games that truly hold up. At least if you're playing in a way that eliminates input lag.
I got beat by Glass Joe once when trying to play with an extremely suboptimal emulator setup.
@@D-Fens_1632 lol WOW damn.
@@D-Fens_1632gee whiz! 😅
I got my name in Nintendo power in 1989 as first person to beat Tyson! I got so good at this game I could sit down now and in 2-3 try’s beat Tyson over 30 years later
Who is here before he fight Jake Paul
👇🏾
“Great thightin Jake. I’th netha theen thuch thinger theed in my lithe.”
No
Better than Paul vs. Tyson.
I had to come back here just to cleanse myself from that.
@SolarFarle Same here.
I always heard about how awesome this game was, and now I got to see up close and personal. The higher you go in the ranks, the harder it is for stars to get the “power punches.” Sometimes you have to “rope the dope” to get him where you want him for the knockout blow.
I used to play this all the time!
I found this game a year ago, and loaded it up and let my 20yr old daughter play. She lost to Flemonco...
And not the 2nd one the 1st one!! , I was so ashamed I just shook my head. 😮😂
Fun fact: during the bald bull fights, when bald bull is about to do his bull charge, a camera from the bottom right of the crowd flashes, indicating the time a player should throw a punch and knock him down.
Similarly, in the macho man fight, a person in the bottom right wearing sunglasses drops his shades when macho man is about to throw his single close-line punch. You can see it at 24:24
Saw nothing of the sort
@@nickrockxu2113 that’s on you. The developers said decades later that this was the case, it wasn’t well known until then. Google it.
Saw it, but man, thats tough to track while paying attention to MM.
@@ALT3REDB3AST yeah that’s why no one ever spotted it for thirty years! Developer told everyone about it. People had spotted the Bald Bull one.
As a kid, Super Macho Man was my stop. Playing on Wii or Nes Classic I couldnt get past Soda Popinski because of input lag. It took a CRT and the original nes to finally beat Tyson! It felt so great all these years later.
This is what got me into watching real boxing. My dad is a boxing fan and growing up we would play punch out together and as I grew older he introduced me to the fights on ppv (we had the black box😂)...and it's been our bonding activity ever since.
As a kid I could always get to tyson but never beat him legit. I could beat tyson with game genie or saved states.
Mike Tyson is one of the toughest last bosses I remember ever fighting in an NES game. The slightest mistake can lose you the fight in an instant.
Ah yes, the good ol' days of pirating cable TV. Good times.
And the good old days of watching boxing on HBO, Showtime, ESPN, ABC, Prime Network (later Fox Sports Net and Bally Sports) and USA, way before the days of Premier Boxing Champions, TrillerTV (formerly FITE) and DAZN!
Little Mac: whatever he hits, he destroys!
Mike Tyson is waiting for your challenge
@@Dr-WeirdAnd a good orthodontist, I hope.
*_"Let's keep it clean! Now come out boxing!"_*
Now you gotta do the original arcade
Great job versus Iron Mike; very impressive!
The music makes me feel good 🥹💪🏿💯💯
The absolute best sounds... pure simplicity!
Such a timeless classic. Mr dream can’t compare in his port to the original. Can’t believe all those carts still work despite the heavy usage over the years.
Not sure what you mean it can't compare. It's exactly the same game.
Umm because it’s not the same. How about replacing wesker with a bum? Or what about final fantasy 7 without cloud?@@gr8gmr
Este amigo si es un profesional. Derrotó a todos los oponentes de forma excepcional.
This version is way better than the Mr. Dream version
I AGREE 100%
Fun Fact: Did you know Mike Tyson never heard or played the game til 2013 since Nintendo no longer has the license to Mike Tyson when he was defeated by Buster Douglas for the very first time
How is that? They are in every way the exact same except for Tyson and Dream color. Their trunks are even the same. Every punch and every dance are the same.
FR
Still to this day one of the best games of all time hand's down
Congratulations you have just unlocked Iron Mike Tyson
Wasn't a big boxing fan but this game was pretty damn rad growing up
One of my favorite games, ever.
And this time Mike Tyson didn't try to bite Little Mac's ear off 🤣
Just a week after Summoning Salt did his speedrun history video on this game, we get this as well :) One thing that always confused me though was why Bald Bull was ranked below Don Flamenco in the World Circuit.
Maybe because the Don is able to fight bulls.
I had no idea how you beat this game like magic, bro. You got the touch!
Everyone's favorite Punch Out.
Bravo champion! J'ai des souvenirs incroyables des combats de Mike Tyson. J'étais adolescent devant la TV. Et Mister Tyson écrasait tout le monde.
Watching this is certainly a feeling of nostalgia. I’m 43 and I remember playing this game at 6 years old. SMH 🤦♂️
Punch Out was part of a generation
The person playing is the punh out king
I’m at Macho and seen him hit one time
27:33: “IT’S ALL OVER! MILLS LANE STOPS THE FIGHT WITH 1:05 TO GO IN ROUND 2, AND WE HAVE A NEW WVBA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, AND HE’S FROM THE BRONX!!!!!”-Jim Lampley.
(Replays)
“Let’s go down to Michael Buffer for the official decision.”-Jim Lampley.
“Ladies and gentlemen, referee Mills Lane has called a stop to this bout at 1:55 of the second round, declaring the winner by TKO and NEW Undisputed WVBA Heavyweight Champion of the World… LITTLE MAC!!!!!”-Michael Buffer.
Watching this playthrough brought me so much joy!!! 😊 I know it must have took you a good amout of your time to make it. You are an awesome TH-camr! Thanks so much!!! ❤
Thank you! It makes me happy to know you enjoyed it so much 😊
Watching this brings back so many great memories! I can feel myself getting tensed up again remembering mashing buttons trying to land punches! This was my favorite NES game and an all-time classic. Someone find me a time machine...
DADDY COME HOME!!! Why? Why does Mario suddenly have a family that he’s forgotten about!?
Thanks so much for showing me how to get more stars in Round 2 of Mike Tyson.
After ten years, I have finally beat all fighters and seen the end screen.
I could never beat Tyson. I always thought it was impossible.
Dont worry, Mike Tyson couldnt beat Glass Joe.
I think what also contributed to making this game so great was you had to learn every fighter, everyone has their own style.
I'm a big fan of Champion, but every fighter basically threw the same punches, just with different attributes.
Although I haven't played Undisputed, the one thing I've noticed is that every boxers' style is different and somewhat relates to how they move in the ring, physics just seem to be off.
I was 8 when I beat this game and Ninja Gaiden 1 & 2.
Ah my old nemesis Super Macho Man, you gave 8 year old me a consistent beat down, glad to finally witness your defeat
'Iron' Mike Tyson, the baddest man on the planet, at this time was on top of the world, and becoming a household name in sports.
Yep, youngest man to get the title in boxing history during the 80s....
Never played this as a kid though new about it. I was more into non-sports games. Very excellent playthrough. Thank you for letting me watch it from a pro for the first time. Was enjoyable..
damn now this brings back memories one of my favorite games along with Contra....the game genie was life saver.
Never knew about the Glass Joe trick. I always just clobbered him (but that takes longer!).
Oh you’re finally getting to this little old game? Haha Can’t wait to read your detailed thoughts on this one. This is still what I’d consider the best boxing game ever made. Nothing can touch it’s playability and unique play style. Not to mention the super charming presentation and the fact it’s one of the first celebrity endorsed video games. Soda Popinski and I are having a few drink’s tonight to celebrate this channel featuring the great MTPO.
i love this game as a kid it took a few months to beat the game but i finally beat tyson
32:00 Jake Paul!
I totally forgot about the Sandman secret, after he does those lightning uppercuts to do the L-R-L-R body shots because you get a whole lot more in.
brings back all kinds of memories from the 80's
So many memories. That was a game that was even fun for everyone not playing to watch and cheer on whoever was playing. Loved that game!
Glass Joe is the only opponent in the entire game that you can get an OHKO on. There's no other opponent you can get a KO from by just hitting them once!
Glass jaw for Glass Joe😂
Piston Honda II too
I absolutely loved this game , there was a set of twin teenagers that lived up from me, they were the only dudes I ever seen even make it to Mike Tyson. I had my grandparents get me the power glove because of this game
Good show! I've been playing this game for 35 years now, and still can't beat it. I make it to Super Macho Man reliably, but I've only beaten him perhaps a half dozen times, and I've never beat Tyson...
Same!
My favorite boxing game all the ages.
I remember going to toys R us to purchase this game back in 1988 in Las Vegas along with spy hunter. The games were stored behind the glass like todays method
I never saw a Toys R Us with a glass case. The ones I went to had tickets that you'd take to checkout. The actual games were a walk-in cage near the exit.
I like how Mike compliments your "finger speed" if you win, just to make it clear that unless we were Buster Douglas, we were never, _ever_ going to knock him out anywhere but on our NES.
I'll never forget how hard it was for me to beat Tyson, but when I Finally could, it was like the Greatest Feeling in my little kid world lol.
Sandman and Machoman are powerhouses i really struggle with, even if i manage to beat them through sheer chance and luck, Mike is just where i stop.
31:51: “So we have a new WVBA Heavyweight Champion of the World in Little Mac, the 17 year old Bronx native who took care of the 27 year old Super Macho Man in two rounds, and it took five knockdowns for Little Mac to achieve his lifelong dream. That’s it from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. For Larry Merchant, George Foreman, Harold Lederman, Michael Buffer and our entire HBO Sports crew, I’m Jim Lampley, and from all of us at HBO Sports, have a Merry Christmas.”-Jim Lampley.

I beat Mike Tyson in 1989 after a BUNCH of tries!
Which remote did you use? I've never known anyone to beat him with the standard remote
Who's here after Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson?
The Legend of Zelda and this were my first 2 NES games. I was nervous fighting Tyson until I beat him in the game regularly. It took a while on Zelda to get through level 9. They got my boys into this and they play All Zelda, Metroid, and Final Fantasy games now.
Thank you for the nostalgia. Awesome.
Fight Night needs to remake this.
A boxer working at an arcade finds an old Punch Out arcade after taking off the dusty cover.
Decides to plug it in and give it a play.
He gets sucked into the game.
And in order to escape, he has to become the world champ and beat Mike Tyson!
That mugshot is an underrated jumpscare
It was for me as a kid. I used to catch my father playing this at like the worst times before bed.
At least they got the teeth right, hey?!
One of the greatest NES games ever made
My greatest achievement in all of gaming was TKOing Mike Tyson in the 2nd round of this great game.
After so many hours and tears I finally beat this when I was 10, I thought Mr. Sandman was harder than Mike.
