Ring King

"Ring King" (or "Family Boxing" in Japan) is a mediocre boxing game that was overshadowed soon by Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! which was released later in the same year. There is not much to say about the game. You can allocate stats for punch, speed and stamina. Winning fights gives you more points to distribute in subsequent fights. The fights themselves are not really interesting. To me the controls, the perspective and the character movement in this game felt more like that in a generic pro wrestling game. "Ring King" is actually most famous for a very suggestive scene that happens between rounds.

Ring King, ported from the arcades, is the first true boxing game to hit the NES. In all aspects, it's a great game too. A 60-second round of pure arcade punching, refueling, and going at it all over again in the next round. With random knockdowns and password-saved progress, which can let you take on experienced friends, even in eight-player tournaments, this game's a keeper!
