Why this title

Why collectors care

The cultural context, the production lineage, the place this artifact holds in its console's history.

eleased by Nintendo in October 1987 for the NES, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! converted the Punch-Out!! arcade franchise into a home console title and introduced the licensed-likeness model for sports games. Tyson appears as the final opponent (Dream Fight) and the title carries his name on the front of every 1987-1990 copy.

Tyson's likeness rights expired in 1990 and Nintendo rebranded the cartridge as Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream for all post-1990 production. The original Mike Tyson edition is the first print; the Mr. Dream version is the post-licensing reprint. Sealed WATA 9.4 A+ Mike Tyson copies trade $3,000–12,000, while Mr. Dream variants trade at roughly half despite identical gameplay.
