Kane99 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 There are two versions, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, and then the version without Tyson, and was just titled Punch Out. Do you have both versions of this game? Or just one or the other? I don't own either yet. But, I would like to add both versions to my collection one of these days. The newer version without Tyson, came out 3 years later. The reason they had to remove him and every mention of him, was because Tyson agreed to a 3 year deal to use his likeness, so in order to sell more copies, they had to remove him, unless pay him $50,000 every year, as that was his original deal. So, Tyson likely made $150,000 from Nintendo. Tyson also wasn't yet a household name, as I think he had yet to win his first title. But once he did, it helped propel the game a lot more.

killamch89 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I had the first one with him in the game. I never had any idea that they had another version without him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I have both. The final boxer “Mr Dream” is identical to Tyson’s character in every way aside from digital image. That’s the only difference between the two games. From what I’ve read, Tyson wasn’t happy with Nintendo rereleasing Punch Out after his contract expired.
