Nintendo released the original Punch-Out!! to the delight of arcade gamers everywhere long before Mike Tyson ever stepped into a digital ring. Featuring a familiar lineup of boxers, a wireframe Little Mac, and a unique two-screen design, Punch-Out!! was a smash hit that later inspired the Tyson-led console conversion, as well as a Super NES sequel and a Wii reboot.
But we can talk about the followups later, because earlier today, Hamster Corporation surprised us all by adding the arcade edition of Punch-Out!! to the Nintendo eShop. Priced at $7.99, Punch-Out!! for the Switch includes the option to display the game’s two monitors side-by-side or in their arcade-authentic vertical orientation.
