This week is going to be brutal. Punch Out!! finally enters the ring with our favorite mustached mascot making an appearance as a guest referee. TG16 legend Bonk returns for round 2 in Revenge. And the Genesis version of the popular Virtua Fighter francise steps onto the battle platform bringing a good deal of button mashing to those fancy white controllers. Anyone have a favorite out of these three?

I like the new Retro Controler image, it looks more balanced now. minor changes mean the world.

The Sega Genesis version of Virtua Fighter? That's not even worth the 100 points I have left over.

It's like comparing Super Mario Land to Super Mario World (or Disney Land to Disney World).

And who is Mr. Dream?

they had to change the name from Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! to Punch Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream. According to wikipedia:

In 1990, towards the end of the NES's run, the game was re-released as Punch-Out!!, with the Tyson character replaced by Mr. Dream. Mr. Dream fought in the same fashion as Tyson, but had cosmetic changes to his face and skin color. Contrary to popular belief Tyson was removed not because of his 1991 rape conviction, but because of a contract dispute with Nintendo and his title loss to Buster Douglas.

There are rumors that during the 'contract dipsute' Mike Tyson was furious that little kids were able to beat him. He said that it affected his self esteem and wanted to be unbeatable in the game. I'm going to assume he blamed this shot to his self esteem for his loss to Buster Douglas. He also probably tried to punch Nintendo, and bite Mario's ear off.

.edDotEd Friday, April 20, 2007 12:34:51 PM

i think it's the other way around, kakashi-sharingan667 (get a shorter name), as Nintendo AND little kids owned Tyson at his own game, literally.

take that Tyson, you're a terrible person.


yeah, i said it.
