Editor note
Punch-Out!! was an Arcade Coin-op by Nintendo
Super Punch-Out!! was a conversion kit by Nintendo for Punch-Out!!
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! was the home version of Punch-Out!! and Super Punch-Out!!, having some characters from both and original characters.
Super Punch-Out!! was also released for Super Nintendo and features the Arcade characters and characters from the NES versions of Punch-Out!!
Beam software had been developing a sequel to Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (expecting Nintendo to keep the Tyson license for many years to come) called Mike Tyson's Intergalactic Power Punch. Due to Nintendo's not renewing the deal to use Tyson's name and likeness, the main character was renamed to Mark Tyler, but Nintendo still didn't like what Beam had created so the passed up the opportunity to publish it. American Softworks wanted to publish it so Beam let them. It was retitled Power Punch II despite the fact that it was the first Power Punch game to be released.
Later Nintendo created a Punch-Out version for Wii that was influenced by all previous versions except the Intergalactic/Power Punch releases.
The original version featuring Tyson was available as a reproduction, RET-MT-GBL, from RetroZone.
