Someone JUST NOW Found A Two-Player Mode In Super Punch-Out

[Peter Paltridge]

Punch-Out has gone by many names (Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out, Punch-Out Featuring Mr. Dream, or just Punch-Out!!) but it’s remained a perennial favorite since its debut in the arcades as an impressive two-screen machine. It hasn’t gotten many sequels since its NES port, but it did get a turn on the Super NES in the form of Super Punch-Out.

By a wide margin, this was my favorite game, and I genuinely can't believe anything like this ever exists. I beg you to consider making Super Punch Out a side mode in another game.

When I was a kid, I spent years playing this game, and I remember one time when I accidentally used the Japanese letter hack. That is the amount of times I've played this. You have no clue how much time I'm going to spend playing in the two-player mode.
