Random: Boxing Legend Mike Tyson Seems To Think Nintendo Is Working On A New Punch-Out!!

I do miss the original edition with Mike Tyson in it, but he's been removed for a reason... still wouldn't mind getting my childhood revenge, though. >.>

In this case, I'm hoping he's right! Punch-Out Wii was /fantastic/ and I'd love to see another Punch-Out game soon!

Also, StarTropics...

A new Punch Out!! will do wonders for me, really loved the Wii game and hope Mike Tyson is up to something, probably

If Nintendo did rev up another Punch-Out!!, they need to include Mike Tyson again, he can still throw punches which can break a wall. Also hard to believe it's almost been a decade since the wii game, a new entry is much needed.

Also, Mike Tyson for SMASH!

Maybe Mike just leaked it??

I’d love a new punch out...

With or without Tyson. And I like Mike.

I just like Little Mac most.

If Punch Out is revealed at E3 we can say Mike Tyson is a credible leaker.

it would be neat to see Punch Out on Switch. i did enjoy the NES game that i owned on Wii U.
i'm hoping they put Ribbon Girl or Spring Man in the next one as guest characters. just like they did for DK on Punch Out Wii

Man what I would do for a new punch out. And with Mike Tyson. Nostalgia at its finest

Sadly, Mike Tyson is not a gamer. There's a video of him playing Punch-Out and he's about as good as Reggie is at Smash

I personally think he has had too many hits to the head...

I like Mike and that Netflix cartoon of his is pretty decent but Mike isn't a gamer. Yeah, this is probably another tweet from a clueless celebrity reaching way far out onto something they don't understand a la Souljaboy

A new Punch-Out game with Iron Mike would be awesome!

I love Mike Tyson. his podcast is awesome. He's a lot smarter than he seems even if he messed this one up.

Of course we want little Mac as the hero. But who doesn't want iron Mike as the main bad guy. Miles done so much work in the last decade in pop culture I can't believe it's his questionable past stopping him from being in the game. Nintendo just doesn't want to pay anyone legal rights. I want Mike. On the other hand when they re-release the game in 20 Years I don't want any licensing issues.

We have the original NES cart with Mike Tyson. I never made it to his fight.

Actually i prefer K-1 World Grand Prix get revived in Chibi style for Nintendo Switch.

Of course, the kickboxers should be at least as cute as my Chibi kickboxers. 🤓

If they do make a new Punch Out game then they should add Springman in it as a guest fighter.

Mike, bite, Tyson was hit in the head too many times, don’t mind him! Someone get the towel!!!

He really might be onto something ear...

@nessisonett
It certainly gives him something to chew on.

Would love a new Punch Out, but definitely without Tyson. Dude is a terrible person.

While he's right that most people think of Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Punch Out existed in the arcades before it did NES and he wasn't in that game either. The fact is, Mike has only been in one Punch Out game. That means in terms of relevance within the franchise, even Glass Joe matters more than he does.

Id just be happy with a "HD" port.

Who knows, maybe Mike can reappear in a future one. He's turned his life around enough that there shouldn't be any shame from Nintendo's direction.

Slightly off-topic, but I'd like a Mike Tyson Mysteries game.

@PBandSmelly horrible human being? what has he done thats so horrible? Nothing. The man went to jail for taking a woman back to his hotel. He still to this day denies he did anything wrong period.
I believe Mike.

I think he was just trying to be funny on the internet. He's not that out of touch.

When I hear Punch-Out!!, I think of Little Mac, King Hippo, Soda Popinski and all the other memorable boxers from that game. The less we remember Mike Tyson, the better.

I have to say tho, Mike tyson was the hardest boss fight ever. Even made me throw my controller 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 never happened again after Punch out. Lol funny days.

Wait, are you telling me he didn't know he got replaced by Mr. Dream in later releases of the game? Or that there have been already two new Punch Out since the Nes game?

I hope his defense stance is still good cause there are some pretty bad jab-news for him ^^;;;

@Bobb I'm certain that's exactly what happened.

Sorry, Tyson, but there are at least 3 other people that come to mind before you when I think of Punch-Out!!
1. Bald Bull, for the fact that I never got past him in the original, or in the Wii game's Title Defense.
2. Little Mac, cos he's the main character.
3. Doc Louis, for very obvious reasons, but mostly for Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!

If you want you can create a Mike Tyson mii fighter in Smash and beat him up as little Mac.

That would be awesome if it ever came to fruition. A new Punch-Out!! game with the story of Little Mac being a full adult, Tyson older, obviously, but can still put up a hell of a fight. Generations clash once more for the title, 32 years later. It would be epic.

@Bobb Yes, probably. He didn't realize it's a port of the old one and thought Nintendo was making a new Punch Out game.

@Godlike_Virus I like this idea.

People who think Mike is terrible don't know how much he 180'd his attitude and outlook on life in an honest and self-analyzing way. People want to fault him for his upbringing and influencers. It doesn't excuse his past, but he's a perfect figure in the present with results to show.

I have a feeling somebody forgot a certain wii game.

I can understand him not keeping up on it but a lot of Twitter replies make my head hurt. They are piling on the train as if this was a new release.

Mike Tyson was a very problematic figure in the 90s, and I completely understand why they were wanting to distance themselves from his likeness for a kids game in an ongoing franchise.

However, the guy was noteworthy for being the youngest heavyweight champion. Tyson was 21 when he was featured in the game, barely old enough to legally drink. Now days he's in his 50's and really turned himself around, clearly getting psychiatric counseling since his retirement. I think we're safe to assume he will no longer be a bad influence on impressionable young kids playing a 30 year old NES game.

If I were a betting man, I'd say we might actually see an "SP" release of the game in a month or two with Tyson put back in that loads up right before the final bout.

Getting a new Punch-out would make ARMS sting a little less.

@MeloMan the problem is that hes just not important to the series. There are 5 punchout games, and he was only in the third one.

I love Mike. He has redeemed himself. He deserves a game, it doesn't need to be from the big N, but there is always the indie route.

He always knows what is going on.

Who do I think of in Punch Out? King Hippo, Little Mac, Piston Honda, Don Flamenco...

I'd be down for a new game though. I love Punch Out.

Well, Mike, we can always fight you as Balrog (or M. Bison as you're known in the Japanese versions) in most "Street Fighter" games.

Almost sure he's just not aware the series continued after his game.

he's not wrong.

they removed him for no reason. mr. dream is such a dumbass japanese thing. it'll always be mike tyson's punch out.

Sucks that Mike Tyson had to be taken out. He really messed things up.

@PBandSmelly boy you pathetic.

Punch out on the Wii was great, but nobody seemed to have bought it. I saw this game discounted so many times!!

That said: Pleeeaaassse a new one on the Switch. Everything sells on Switch. It can be a succes!
