I'm going to start off with one of the best games on the SNES that I spent way too much time on. No, ear-biting, boxing superstar Mike Tyson's name is not all over this, so it didn't sell as well as the original. However, when I played it I wondered, “why wasn't this game advertised better". Super Punch-out!! truly a hidden gem of the SNES and I feel it's almost if not better than the original NES title. The only problem with this game is that it is incredibly hard. Once you get passed the minor league fights you will spend hours yelling profanities at the Television screen. If I had a nickel for every time Piston Hurricane gave me an uppercut I would have like 3 bucks. Once you get the hang of it the game it can actually be pretty enjoyable, everyone has their own little special thing where there coach that you can't see yells at them and they start whooping your ass... hard, but it isn't anything that a bit of blocking and dodging can't stop. That's another problem, the game is pretty predictable, and after I had beaten it I went back to minor league and was able to beat it in less than 4 minutes because everyone’s movements are so easy to predict.
Super Punch-out!! is a total upgrade from the original. You may not be Little Mac, but you sure are ready to take on the big guys. The graphics are phenomenal for 16-bit. I personally love 16 bit graphics. This games voices sound great, they’re really clear for this type of game. The music isn't memorable, but it is still pretty good while you’re in the moment. When you play you have these two moves, a jab and a hook, which you can alternate arms. Also, you have this thing at the bottom of the screen called a "super meter" which fills up when you successfully hit your opponent and when it fills up you can release a barrage of very powerful very fast punches, which if you knock your opponent down with, it will most likely knock them out. I have played it for over 15 hours and i know that the game is definitely good but it could be polished up even more.
I will give Super Punch-out!! 82/100 points
