Glass Joe, King Hippo, Little Mac are back!
Those of you out there like me, who maybe back in the 80s had the original Nintendo system, will remember those tense moments of finally reaching the pinnacle of sports gaming accomplishment: Beating Mike Tyson in Mike Tyson’s Punch Out. Yes, sir, those were heady days. I still remember being so nervous and jumpy on the controller those first few times matching up against Iron Mike. Tyson would give a twitch, you’d react and slide over to the left to avoid the punch, but it was a fake, and when Little Mac arrived back in the middle of the screen, he was met with a vicious knockdown punch. Damn those nerves. But eventually, you settle down, know when to dodge and when not to, and you beat Tyson. It’s one of those times you walk around your house with your arms raised, celebrating the victory. Well, those days are making a comeback. Feast your eyes on THIS! That’s right, Punch Out is back! It’s not entirely clear to me who the featured heavyweight is; we can all be pretty sure it’s not Tyson. Either way, TTB is looking forward to this one!
