    I never did beat Mike in Punch-Out. He was a bigger pain in the ass than Ghosts 'n' Goblins (or was it Ghouls 'n' Ghosts? God, I don't know anymore). #video

    @TVs_Frank: Me either, got to him countless times but he always managed to hand me my ass. I think that's what made the game so special. #video

    @Outkastprince: I should try him again now that the creator revealed there's more visual cues hidden in camera flashes etc. But I fear the last 12 years or so of ridiculously easy games that my skills aren't up to snuff. The challenge in gaming feels like it died when the 3D generation was born. #video

    @TVs_Frank: That's why I didn't bother, since the majority of those claiming they beat Tyson are the same ones youtubing the heck out of game for secrets. #video

    @Outkastprince: You guys have got to be kidding me! Tyson was definitely beatable. Once you got his patterns down he isn't all that difficult. That said, it took me many many tries when I was child.

    Basically, the Tyson in Punch Out is kind of like Tyson in real life. If you can get past the early rounds Tyson gets tired enough for you to fight back.

    The first minute or so of the first round in the game, he throws nothing but power punches that instantly knock you down. Just dodge them. Get past that point, survive to the second round and you'll get him.... eventually. #video

    @m3rcer: I still remember the first time I beat him was by decision. Me and my friend were dancing around the room screaming like psychopaths. #video

    @Karlott: Seriously, having a celebratory moment like that is well deserved! NES games generally weren't easy and Mike Tyson's Punch Out is no exception.

    I remember the first (and only) time I played all the way through Capcom's 1942 on NES. It was bittersweet. I was happy to have finally conquered it, but was angered and disgusted by the ending.

    [spoiler]

    For those who don't know, Capcom was nice enough to reward the victor for the seemingly endless hours of shmup action with a single word:

    "Congratulatons!"

    Then you start over.

    And people today complain about spending $50-$60 on a game? Ha!

    I've said it before and I'll say it again:

    Life is good on the gaming front. #video

    Oh man, I broke so many NES controllers mashing the buttons in Punch-Out. Good times.


    I must be getting old if Punch-Out nostalgia is making me teary-eyed.

    My brother still regularly fires up Punch-Out and plays all the way through to Tyson. He's the only person I know who can beat him w/o any cheats.

    I bloody love The Onion. Best parody news since Chris Morris' The Day Today and Brass Eye.
