Mike Tyson's Punch Out is easily in my top 10 games of all time. I was a little worried when the reviews started coming in and said that this game was just a mirror of the NES version but thankfully that's not the case. Nintendo totally caters to the fans that grew up on the game and also appeals to a new audience. Some of the techniques are the same but many way different (like Great Tiger). Learning the new patterns is just as fun and rewarding as before. The animation, characters and voice acting are top notch and perfectly match the vision I had in my head of how they should be based on the old drawings in Nintendo Power.

The only downside I can see to the game is replay value. I beat the game on the 2nd day (with something insane like 57 defeats thanks to Great Tiger and Super Macho Man) and other than going through the rematches and a few head to head battles, I'm not sure it's worth $49.95. That being said, it's the perfect nostalgia title. Retro done right!
