I’m surprised the article doesn’t mention George Foreman’s KO Boxing. Especially since it was developed by Beam Software and bears some similarities to Power Punch II.

I bought George Foreman KO Boxing back in the day, to get my Punch-Out fix after I got tired of actual Punch-Out. Not bad, just took itself too serious.

Great, great article. I knew about Power Punch II, which is hilarious. But the other clones are news to me. The GBA ones actually look worth tracking down!

When does the Together Retro article go up? I played Punch-Out!! for hours yesterday!

Hey low blow, thanks, I’d never heard of that(or the manga for that matter). It looks like the two handheld versions(GBA and DS) have appearances similar to Punch-Out!!, though the GBA version looks a lot closer since the DS requires a very different control scheme via the stylus. It’s similar to one of the Wii version’s control scheme, while the other two control schemes for the Wii look like they resemble Punch-Out!! or Wii Sports Boxing.

What about Treasure’s Hajime No Ippo: The Fighting for GBA?

“No mention of James ‘Buster’ Douglas Knockout Boxing? ”

Different style….

Nice article, I need to try the SNES one…
