Punch-Out!! was the third cartridge my brother and I got for our NES and it's the game I most frequently remember kids talking about on the playground. That said, I tried to pour my all into this one, spending several hundred hours in research, writing, gathering assets, and editing. I hope you enjoy. The original script contained about 30 additional points of information but i opted to trim it down to keep it under 30 minutes. Maybe i'll make a follow-up to include such points. If you know any that I didn't mention feel free to add them here. Thanks
You really do do (heh) good work, man. It was the second game I'd ever played. I still play it. You brought a fresh look with points I wasn't aware of. Which gives me all the more reason to continue biting like a mosquito.
On the game show Double Dare one of the prizes was an NES and 5 games of your choice. My friends would compare lists if we ever won. Everyone's list included Mike Tysons Punch Out.
Mario, Luigi, and DK in the crowd.
Please do a follow up video with your additional 30 points! That would be awesome! I so love these videos and I so love Mike Tyson's Punch Out.
@@DevonBism following lol
7:32 Mr. Sandman isn't introduced with any music in the NES version. He does his Dreamland Express animation to dead silence before walking into position.
Mike Tyson’s Punch Out is one of the best games for the NES and was one of the most frequently played in my childhood.
I don't like sports or sports games. Punch Out is the exception to that rule, because it's an incredibly fun series and has tons of personality. Never could get past Bald Bull. Still need to play the old arcade versions.
Just one of the best games for the NES? It's one of the best games of all time period. I loved it as a kid, still to this day I haven't beat Tyson.
@@bezoticallyyours83 a lot of non sports game fans still like it because it's actually more of a puzzle game than anything else if you really break it down.
Agreed. And a top 5 video game of all time on all consoles.
I remember the excitement when I finally got to Tyson and getting knocked down with one punch. I loved that game. My dad would take turns playing with me. Great memories.
"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth" - Iron Mike Tyson. Long live the legend, really looking forward to this one Complex.
I don't think anyone planned to get their ear bitten off. Least of all by a juggernaut like Tyson.
Buster Douglas didn't get the memo. 🤪
But you have to admit that buster got a noticeable longer countdown that was around 14 seconds
@@kusiosine9868 Tyson beat buster. Easy. It was rigged against Tyson.
it was everyone has a plan till I punch it out of their head
The Gabby Jay “ Yay “ is by far the best SNES sound sprite ever. I remember laughing my ass off as a kid and repeating it for days.
Yay
How do you laugh an ass off?
@@email6743 You point at the person that’s trying to be clever, you start laughing and laughing until the ass walks away and then go about your business.
I always laughed at the sound Narcus Prince made when you knocked him out
@@wereallchumps3142 owwwwwwww 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
I remember the "evil laugh" sound bit also being in Kung Fu when the bosses defeated you (with it being more high pitched/low pitched depending on the boss)
You are absolutely correct! I cut it from the script... it was getting so long
The Magician's laugh was about the same thing (level 4 boss). Also used very briefly in the game over screen with Ganon in Zelda 2.
Man we need more of these videos. They’re always great.
I'm constantly working at it... it just takes about 3 months to get everything done
@@NESComplex that’s intense and it shows in the quality.
@@NESComplex If you take requests, I'd like to see one about Super Mario Land, or if you only do NES, then Donkey Kong games.
This is the best Mike Tyson's Punch-Out video ever made. You made Mike Tyson's Punch-Out a 1000% better. You are a true master of your art, NESComplex. Thank God, you make NES videos. Without you, many of us would not be able to have that thorough NES game experience again like we had growing up. Thank you, NESComplex.
Incredible video, top notch editing as always chris. Killing it man, killing it.
Dude i love your videos! but that glitch effect between scenes is driving me crazy lol i keep thinking my internet is lagging!!
Thanks Retro!
@NESComplex should do one for the snes and wii version
Facts
Great video! MTPO is one of my all time favorite NES games. The only minor tidbit you didn't mention is that the laugh when you lose was also used several years earlier in Kung Fu. It's basically a generic Nintendo laugh used in multiple games.
I thought so. I just posted that question asking if this was the same laugh as Mr. X.
Ya I knew about it. Just had waaaay too much for this video. I had to cut back a TON! Thanks for mentioning it here
Once again you did it my friend. This De: Classified series could be boxed up, and sold as a Blu ray box set, or be featured on a streaming service such as Netflix or Hulu.
Bravo!! Looking forward to the next one in the series.
P.S: I’ve played through punch out a million times in my life, and the spectator secrets absolutely blew my mind 30+ years later!!!! How have I not known about those?!?
Hmmmm... a blu ray release. Maybe I should
i agree. this is better than lots of the original programming
on netflix or hulu
I’ve never seen Mr. Sandman walk up to the French national anthem.
While there’s little to no doubt about Superstar Billy Graham’s connection, Super Macho Man was in the arcade Super Punch-Out!! which was developed in 1984, so any connection with “Macho Man” Randy Savage is unlikely since he hadn’t been in a mainstream promotion until 1985.
The speed of jogging was pretty funny extrapolation haha. I like it.
He's back for the new year. Hope you're well man.
I was pretty sick for a while but doing well now
This was a very fun video. Thank you. Can’t believe I’m 40
And still watching Mike Tyson’s Punch out clues, history, and stories about this game. A classic!
Haha. I’m with you. I can’t believe I spend 250 hours making the video. But heck… it was our childhood
Yup. 38 here and I went back and beat it twice today. Never gets old.
I always look forward to these, and the wait is always worth it.
Seriously... I need to just brand as a quarterly show. It just takes that long for each episode
@@NESComplex And it shows in the final product - the amount of good info, the editing...THE EDITING! Quality like this can't be rushed, so thanks for taking your time with these.
These game-by-game NES deep dives are outstanding! I hope you make more!
I definitely will! I just wish I could make them faster. Already working on the next one
What an amazing episode! The information regarding the crowd near the end had me like, "WTF? That's INSANE." The staff at Nintendo really went above and beyond back then with all the little subtleties their games had.
CHRIS we need more videos ..They all don't need to be so complex..miss ya..well glad you dropped this..this man needs millions of subs..he's that good
I can't make them any faster. I have a full time job. I've come to accept: my channel has quarterly releases
@@NESComplex don't take away that I miss you ..I will watch all videos over and over again
It’s been a few years at this point but I just wanted to say that I recently discovered your channel and this is some of the best content that I’ve seen in quite some time!
I just discovered this series yesterday, and it’s hands-down my favorite series in CZcams.
Great vid . I love how link finally lands in the ring. 27 mins of hang time, not bad. 🤣🤣🤣
I wasn’t sure people would get it. He actually flies across the background of the bike scene too. But he’s very small
@@NESComplex oh, didn't know
@@NESComplex I saw him fly across the screen in the training sequence, and land at the end. But when did he get hit?
@@NESComplex hahaaa. I'm gonna have to go back and check it out. That's awesome 👌. Hahaaa🤣🤣🤣💥👍 I saw him
@@istrasci in the beginning.
Man I love your videos! The story telling, the detailed editing...you’re next level
Really appreciate the kind words! I try so hard to push my own limits
Another tip that I don't hear discussed enough is on Bald Bull's full Bull Charge, just count to 3 then punch. Works every time.
This is pretty interesting. I'm 37 years old and after playing this game for years I never noticed the crowd giving out hidden clues.
I tried to find more, but I didn’t see anything
I never knew that either about the crowd
One of my NES favorites!!! My #1 favorite for NES is Double Dragon!!!! I have so many great memories of punchout. I had a cabinet with Mario bros 2, punchout, double dragon, excite bike, zelda, Kung fu, ghosts and goblins, and castlevania on it. I miss being a kid, having a simple life.
Mario 2 is coming soon! I can't wait
Love all the details in this video, didnt know all of them (the guy in the crowd dropping his sunglasses when you should dodge super macho mans spin attack was new for me). Love the game as much as your videos, they are golden for me on CZcams. Thank you! 👍
Thank you Neon Cat! Glad you dig the videos
10:29 Every time I see this commercial, I need to pause on the alternate box art! I wish a copy like this existed. It kind of looks like the Power Punch II model of "Tyson"
I initially drew attention to it but cut it for time. Now I wish I’d left it in
At 23:17 you note that Tyson is labeled as Mchampionn. True. But I'm surprised you didn't catch what was actually going on; it's simply placing the word CHAMPION over the words MIKE TYSON. The M from Mike and the N from Tyson wasn't removed when they placed the word champion up there for some reason. I consider it a 'bug' or just an oversight. If you count out the total amount of spaces for Mike Tyson(10) and the word champion (8), you'll see it. :) Great video as always! Looking forward to more of your work!
That is AWESOME! Damn I wish I’d known that
The Bald Bull laugh was also used in Kung Fu.
Your uploads are incredible. Very happy when I get your notifications. I had friends in my neighborhood that would bring over their friends and family to watch me beat Tyson. Made me feel kinda special as a kid and this game brings a flood of memories every time I see it.
That is an awesome memory! Thanks
Always a good day when I see some complex on my CZcams feed! Retro Rejects 4 life!
Might I highly suggest putting chapter markers in your videos? Your format is perfect for it and helps those of us who can't watch all of the video at one time.
That’s a good idea. I’ll need to look into it. Thanks for the feedback
Awesome video to my favorite NES game of all time. At 27:09 that is truly mind blowing a small detail like that rarely anyone knows.
Thanks Chris!
Dude, this is yet another absolutely crushing video!! Man just when one thinks they know it all, you come and school even some of us oldest gamers out there on some the biggest classics. Nice work man!! Thoroughly enjoyed the video, sharing everywhere for sure!
so i had commented on your original post teasing this video that although i was never a big fan of this game i was looking forward to this video because i love this series of yours, and after watching the video i wasn’t disappointed in the least. i enjoyed it very much and appreciate every detail/secret/tip/fact that i’m sure took an extremely long time to research and compile. after watching this video i actually signed up for my first (and only) patreon membership. thanks again, can’t wait for the next vid!
WHAT!? Thank you! That means the world to me!
This video is amazing. You gathered so much info on this game. Mike Tyson's punch out was one of my favorite games.
Awesome job as always sir. Super detailed and very entertaining. We all appreciate your hard work. One of my personal favorite youtube channels.
Thank you! I really appreciate it
Best collection of info I’ve seen on the game and entertaining throughout. Thanks for doing this
Thanks Benny! I had to cut a TON though. Could've been an hour long video if i had wanted
Great video!
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!! has been one of my favorite games since I was 7 years old and struggled to beat the first Piston Honda.
Now, over 30 years later, it's a game I still play every once in awhile like a comfort food. It's just FUN.
It really never gets old. It's so truly unique
dude these videos are so awesome. thanks for all the research ive played this game 1000s of times and i didnt know a lot of this stuff
Man I love these videos. Production is top notch. Please keep them coming. We want more!!!
More on the way!
Amazing video! I love how much detail you put into it, absolutely incredible work!
Thank you so much! I learned from Nintendo. It's the details that matter
Another fantastic video, with careful editing and a sense of humor that always succeeds to make me smile. The amount of secrets, Easter eggs and obscure details in this game really is incredible. I've played the game since early childhood and have read up on it over time, but I can safely say I never knew half of this stuff, especially the manner your health can regenerate depending on the count you get up. There's so much depth in this classic game.
Amazing video!! As always super informative, I learned a few things. Keep up the top notch work, looking forward to the next one.
This channel is so damn good. Thank you for your work!
Thank you so much!
Fantastic work!! A trip down memory lane, that was very enjoyable!
Thank you! As much as I want these to be informative, the nostalgia is more important to me
You just made Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, EVEN BETTER!!!!! You are the greatest NES video maker ever!!!!
Another fantastic video. Always love when you release new videos because they’re so informative and high quality. Can’t wait to watch your next project!
.... only 3 months away. LOL
Man, the editing in this is just flawless. What a killer channel!
Thank you so much! I know you didn’t have to comment but it means a lot
Man I love these videos, todays a good day. ✌🏻🙃
Glad you like them. My favorite part is sharing them
I love this series you're doing. Keep up the great work. Being a huge NES fan my whole life these videos keep blowing my mind with you revealing things I had no clue about event after all these years.
The format of this series is so fun and accessible. Congratulations on your great work. :)
The amount of hard work, effort, and creativity you put into this series is nothing short of amazing. Great editing and writing as well. I truly look forward to the next one.>>>>>> subscribed gg's
I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you for taking the time to write… and for noticing what I put into these episodes!
With this amount of research and production you deserve at least 10x the subs. Awesome video.
He’s still getting loads of views so that’s nice
Well this is legit my new favorite YT series, please keep it up, freaking epic work dudeman!
This video is a real knockout! I can't pick a favorite part because it was all so cool!
Love this channel. :)
Love watching this guy's videos start to finish; What a legend!
Agreed
Thanks Chris! That means a lot! It's really a challenge to make a video constantly interesting, but i try
@@NESComplex you should be making more! Underrated!
Wow! Your coverage of classic games is top-notch! Thanks! I love this stuff!
Awesome video - great production and information. This was so entertaining. Thank you very much!
Dude this is fantastic!
You always put a lot of effort Into your videos. Always fun to watch. Just wish you could get more of them out.
I work on these between 3 to 6 hours a night, nearly every night AFTER work... theres no way to do more
@@NESComplex I'm sure. Maybe one day this can become your full time gig.
@@NESComplex Not surprised. But still, wow! 😲 Thankfully, it shows!
Get this man 100k subs already! Seriously, share this video! Great work!
Happy New Year and thank you for yet another fantastic video.
I already knew this was going to be worth the wait. Great video
Thank you!
@@NESComplex you’re welcome I can’t wait to see what’s next
Awesome job on this! I very much enjoyed it!! I got two (2) tidbits of info you may or may not know about the game:
1:) Most Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out game cartridges are the 3-screw variant but there are a handful of 5-screw variants out there that are highly sought after by collectors.
2:) The Nintendo NES poster that says “Now You’re Playing With Power.” with the ROB head at the bottom, that lists a bunch of NES game titles, all the games are either the Black Box or Silver Box originals, but they also slipped in Punch-Out but not the Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out variant. Regardless of the Punch-Out variant, why is it the only non Black/Silver Box listed on the poster?
Lastly there was a Kickstarter campaign that got funded in May of 2021 called Pixel Perfect: Punch-Out!! (NES Hardcover Book) done by a Jeffrey Writtenhagen. I have a feeling a lot of the information you uncovered here might also be in this book. But maybe he’s got some nuggets of information in his book that you may not have learned of yet.
Thanks again for making this video! 😃👍🏼
So i definitely knew about the 5 screw... i've been looking for years. I have often wondered why MTPO wasn't silver or black. My hunch is that the endorsement deal made using his likeness impossible to ignore. Though that begs the question, why not use his name on the poster? hmmmm I actually know Jeff though we never spoke about that book. Interesting
What a great video, the editing the music just a phenomenal job. That coupled with the fact that Punch-Out!! is one of my favoraite games of all time and man I had a blast watching this. Even learned a few things I never knew before, great work keep it up and I am looking forward to the next one!
In my opinion this is the very best retro games channel on the Internet, and there is no lack of excellent competition in the space, so that’s saying something. Your talent, dedication, attention to detail, raw effort, and most of all your passion truly shines through in your videos, making them a delight to watch. Not that 200000 views is something to sneeze at, and even though I realize you’re not really doing it just for the clicks, I’m still surprised you don’t have an even bigger audience, purely based on the quality of your content. But I’m sure that’s just a matter of time at this point.
Just be sure to take a relaxing breath every now and then to appreciate your own hard work. Don’t burn yourself out.
Thank you for blessing us with such quality work! You are an artist! 🙏
I REALLY appreciate your comment! I try very hard to make these the best I can... it means so much to hear kind words like yours
Perfectly executed as always!
Thanks bud!
Excellent work here, loved the tiny lore bits!
Thanks Dude! I have so much fun digging through the history and everything I can find about these games… but even more I love sharing it with anyone who loves games!!
Fantastic video dude! Very informative and fun to watch.
Thank you for putting this informative Punch-Out!! video together :). I can see that a LOT of love and research went into this project hahaha!
The sprite with the shades always seemed suspicious, so I'm glad that someone actually managed to figure him out :).
By the way, the credits are not given in the NES game after finishing it oddly enough, only the secret code reveals them.
Anyway, be sure to keep it up and NEVER give up!
Best NES channel out there! Really appreciate your attention to detail and hard work. Well worth the wait.
I appreciate you noticing the effort and commenting!
Wow! Man you really know how to create videos! This was really an entertaining and professionally put together 27 minute ride!
I cant imagine the amount of work you must have put into this. I can really sense your passion.
Please keep it up 👍 😁
Thanks! Honestly it was hundreds of hours. I appreciate you noticing
It's amazing, I've played it endlessly for decades (was born in '80) and have seen so many videos like this before... and yet I learned multiple new tidbits about the game from your video. Huge kudos there.
That’s awesome to hear! I try to really dig in every area. I never feel satisfied unless I learn many new things myself.
Job well done in consistently delivering a plethora of information throughout the entire video that I had never heard or seen before.
What up complex. Great vid bro
Thank for watching and the kind words
This is the first game that brought a real sense of excitement and anticipation... Once you knocked the computer player down the crowd would go wild and the anticipation of the count was amazing!! I cant remember anything like it at the time. Does anyone feel the same?
It really was a unique experience! We were lucky to have lived it
As a kid you only wished the tougher opponents would stay down for the count it was really nerve racking at the time knowing that if you did win you would only get your ass kicked in the next fight.
@@unanimousreporting8250 Lol true!!
I love your channel! Im glad the algorithm finally showed me this a month late (im subbed but sometimes the algorithm jacks me on my favorite channels since I dont use the youtube app) Also, your intro music is cool. Its also used in a mobile zombie survival game called overlive thats pretty fun if you like interactive story games (no mtxs or ads).
Thanks, you are one of my fav retro creators and your content is top notch.
Been looking forward to this one! Fantastic work! :D
Love the declassified series.
Thanks a lot Mr. Panda!
Phenomenal work! I always learn something new no matter how much I think I know. Do you think the next sequel we get will break the 15 year record gap between the release of Super Punch Out on SNES & Punch Out on Wii? I hope not!
I don't know if they'll ever do a sequel tbh They have too many fire franchises as it is
@@NESComplex I’ll always hold out hope. Nintendo purchased the developer of the Wii game, Next Level Games last year. Fingers crossed!
Amazing work as always my man. Legitimately some of the best gaming content out there.
I saw mister Addons mention this video on Twitter and it’s extremely well done. Thanks for putting so much time into the research. Very informative and top production quality!
Your channel is underrated. Thumbs up and please keep the good work going on.
Thank you!
Excellent retrospective! And, as usual, I learned stuff I never knew. I’ve made it to Tyson/Mr. Dream plenty of times…just never beat them! I need to work on fixing that or it’s going to bug me the respt of my life…haha. Thank you for all of your hard work on these.
You can do it... just not on an emulator
No idea how I havent found your channel before this. Awesome video.
I am preparing for a binge.
Awesome video! I hoping to see a documentary like this one so have a good one!
Upvoted before watching lol
same! lol
Haha! I hope it was warranted
This was a fantastic watch! You are truly unmatched with quality retro gaming videos.
Thank you!!!
Phenomenal video man. Thanks for the great vids - keep ‘em coming!
That was GREAT! As a child of the 1980's, very entertaining. Thumbs UP from The Card Shop in Bastrop, Louisiana
Thank you!!!
Yeeesss. Let's get started.
🙌🏼
Fantastic job! I love everything you put in to your declassified episodes. I was waiting for you to mention about the Nintendo power cassette tape. Sadly it wasn’t in there. Thank you for your time.
Tell me more... what cassette tape?
Your videos are ALWAYS too notch!! Great work
Best video ever made concerning Punch Out
Amazing episode, love this series! Hope you bring back the Nintendo Power one!
If only those would get watched. They take a long time, but viewers don't seem to choose them
I've been playing this live on Tik Tok and getting lots of love, I have Soda pop tattoo and it's top 5 game for me of all time, thanks for this documentary 💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏
Hell yea! A new NES Complex video! Keep ‘em coming! I love your content!
Absolute joy to watch & one I will watch many times over. Alot I knew & so much I didn't 😄 Awesome video! Thank you
That’s awesome! Thank you! I love finding new bits of information but I love sharing it even more.
