Mike Tyson once played Punch Out, but he can't get pass Glass Joe. If that is the case, then this is where Glass Joe got his first win out of 99 losses come from.
Nintendo got extremely lucky with the timing of pretty much every aspect of that deal with Tyson. He was champ by the time the game released, but when he signed, he was still just a rising star, so they ended up with a champion's endorsement without paying the price for one. 3 years later, when the contract was ending, they would have had to pay a lot more to renew since he now held the title, and ultimately decided not to since it was now an older game and an already established hit. Immediately after the decision, he lost the title to Douglas, then had the rape charge arise a year later. People assume Nintendo dropped him because of all that, but it actually happened right before.
That, and the other reason they replaced Mike Tyson with Mr. Dream was because they want a stand in for Rocky Marciano, the original Boxing Champion, who’s record was 49 wins to 0 losses. Mr. Dream’s record of 99-0 is a greatly exaggerated record mirroring that of Rocky Marciano. Also, given that both the NES and two Arcade titles use the “Look Sharp March”, it’s likely that the entirety of Punch-Out was a tribute to the Gillette Cavalcade of Sports hosting special Boxing Events, which happens to feature… Rocky Marciano. For full details on the Gillette/Rocky/Punch-Out connection, check out GTV’s video on Punch-Out (with a sing-along at the end) or the “NES Declassified” video on Punch-Out.
@@LetsgoJoeRetro I just got it, either it was luck or something else. Along with getting a retro gaming console, the game nearly gave me a heart attack when it didn’t work the first time. Tried another game that I got with it and that one worked, which told me that it was the game and not the console. I then did the AVGN trick with a Q-tip and the game worked! Took like 4 or 5 Q-tips but the game works without a hitch.
No offense or anything but my box I never got rid of and usually on the boxes it's a printed on signature yeah Mike Tyson actually signed my real copyy
@@BIGSHOT__1997 Cool. Wish I had the box, but that probably would have made my game cost an extra 40 or 60 dollars. I’m honestly just happy to have the game and play.
Don’t feel bad bro that’s some shi everybody had back in the day like it wasn’t even that rare at one point now I don’t know anybody who just has that thing laying around. Time goes by it happens
@@Markus-8MuiregI mean, it already has the "Dream" on the name of its special attack "WELCOME TO DREAMLAND!" -Mike Tyson, or who knows, maybe Mr. Dream...
Really the only changes to the sprite was the face and the skin color, and his record is different, but other than that he's identical to Tyson, even says the same lines.
No, it was switched because when the license expired, Tyson was world champ. This was before the lawsuit and his loss of his title. It was just too expensive to re-license him because when they first signed him he wasn’t world champ so it was much less expensive
Mike signed the contract Before he won any title. It takes a long time to produce and release a video game. So he signed contact in 86…game started production. Mike wins title. And in 87 game is released. It’s not that hard geez.
He wasn't even that popular til he k o Ed, Spinks in 90 seconds to win the title . Why would they make a video game around a guy who's not even champ? Idk about this
The ORIGINAL *"Punch-Out"* & it's sequel *"Super Punch-Out"* were 1984 *ARCADE* Games. "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out" was the 1987 Home Console Version. A combination of BOTH Arcade Games.
What 😂 they don't tell you is that Nintendo paid Mike $25 million for his imagine on that game including the box art! They knew the game was going to make a whole lot of money that's why they paid him so much! But that allegedl rape shit happened and then buster Douglas beat him so they parted ways with Mike Tyson! 🥊😱🥊
@@john-sp8jkThe rape thing happened a year AFTER the re release so that definitely wasn't it. Also Buster Douglas beat Tyson only half a year before the games release so its also likely they had already made the decision not to bring him back before that too. Also he wasn't even the heavyweight champion when they made the original deal, the game came out only a month after he was named champion so they would have already paid him by then.
that was not the reason lmao. the original license costed them around 10,000 dollars at the time in 86, when it expired Tyson was at the peak of his career and to biy the locense it surely costed millions, so instead of buying the rights to use his image Nintendo just replaced him in the game
Funny because I remember it was based on an arcade game called punch out that had nothing to do with Mike Tyson and only added him because they thought it would sell better in the US.
Mike Tyson was a minor collaboration for that single game The Punch-Out!! series started with the original Punch-Out!! arcade game and Mike Tyson wasn't involved at all.
@@FlygonkingVGCIg most people are familiar with mike Tysons punch out and on. Honestly, the og isn't really that good to me anyway so I Canon in my head that this is the og lol.
I had that Buster Douglas boxing on Sega. The last dude on that game was a nigga named Iron Mask or something. I believe that was suppose to be a fake Mike Tyson.
The originals were "Punch Out" and " Super Punch Out" arcade games both released in 1984. "Mike Tyson's Punch Out " was the first home console game released in 1987 ❤
I rented the Tyson version when I was 4 years old in 1988. I loved it immediately. I always wanted to buy it, but it was too expensive. Then one day, a few years later, I saw it as Toys R Us for only $20, but I was confused because Tyson wasn’t on the cover. My dad and I asked an associate about the game, and they let us know that it was the same game, but with Mr. Dream instead. I didn’t care. My dad bought it, and it was the only version we owned until I found a Tyson copy at a pawn shop when I was 16. I’ve had both ever since!
We're talking the original console release. Not the arcade releases. Obviously the arcades were where the actual game originated, but not where Tyson got his face shown on console mate XD 😂
hey did u know that doki doki panic is mario 2??????? did u know that bo jackson is the fastest character in super tecmo bowl??? did u know about the konami code?????
"Punch Out"was a stand-up arcade game long before Tyson came along. IIRC "Punch Out 2" was already in the works before "Mike Tyson's Punch Out" was released for NES
Soda Popinski is "Ivan Drago", it is combination of the same stereotypes: giant, russian, soda addiction as kind of doping. I actually prefer games without real people, it make them more timeless, or Because developers just give up character building and then you just have no reason to like or to value him in a game
It was actually called "Punch-Out!!" first in the arcade game version in '84. When it moved to the NES it was changed to Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, then changed back to the original name in '90.
Yes but Mike Tyson’s punch out is also a rerelease of a special golden punch out cartridge, Mike is not in the game naturally, but using game genie implements him. They wanted to see if the game would sell good in Japan before they brought it to America!
Yes , as a kid when I got that game for Christmas… it was already Mr. Dream.. so then now as I’ve been collecting the games again… Finally bought the Mike Tyson’s version … It was so satisfying to actually final own an original nes physical copy of this Game! 🎉🎉🎉
The reason was just that their contract had expired and Nintendo didn't think it was worth the huge amount of money it would cost to get the former champion back. Him beating his wife about a year after his games release could have also played a part but his other controversies weren't until after the re release came out.
The fact this myth exists is so strange to me. You can look this shit up on a Wikipedia entry and conpare it to the Copyright year displayed below Punch Out Ft Mr. Dream. POfMD came out in 1990 because Tyson was signed on only for 3 years, so this myth is so confusing.
You forgot to mention Mike complained on Twitter about his likeness being replaced when the NSO rerelease came around, even though they couldn’t use his likeness anymore.
"Did you know that the original punch out was call 'Mike Tyson's Punch', featuring Mike Tyson", Homeboy I'm pretty sure everybody who's slightly familiar with the Punch Out series knows that. Also it isn't even true, the Original Punch Out was an arcade game, and they didn't remove Mike Tyson because he lost, that would be the worst financial decision ever made for them to design a game entirely around hoping that some guy who lived in a different continent never lost. They removed him from the game because he was on a temporary contract and it expired, that's it
ANYONE ELSE, notice mr dreams face looks a teensie bit like sylvester stallone, I mean with rocky the idea is good but I don't think they could land a licence and just made him look barely look alike able
It's entirely possible. The Mr. Dream Punch Out was a Christmas release that retailed for $20, three years after the original came out. It was the perfect stocking-stuffer gift that i'm sure a lot of kids got w/o them asking for it, and there were plenty of kids in the age range where they could've been new enough to video games to not know about the original.
I’m pretty sure it also wasn’t confirmed that it was because of Tyson’s title. They just decided not to not renew it. Maybe because it was expensive, maybe because they thought they didn’t need it, who knows.
I borrowed MT's Punch Out from a kid one summer and played it until I beat Tyson. Somehow, I found the code for the Another World Champion run. I bought the rerelease right after it came out, which was around Dec of 1990. There was a store across the river that had the OG version but I wanted to see if there was any sort of difference with Mr. Dream.
I mean technically no. The "original" punch out was an arcade game that Tyson had no ties to. And the first home console release was just called punch out with super macho man as the final. The first home release is commonly forgotten about because it was a 10000 copy run that wasnt a retail version, but rather a part of a few prize pools. Then the Tyson branded version came out a month later.
Actually there was a version before Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!! That only winners of a Nintendo golf championship would win and the final boss there was super macho man.
No, Nintendo let the license run out because Mike Tyson had a significantly larger public profile than he did when they first got the license, and they didn't want to pay the much larger fee to renew it.
Thinking in general, it's kinda weird/surprising that Nintendo made a game with a real person in-game, even more weird that a game of that era got a re-relase with minimum changes and not as a bundle like mario/duck hunt.
I’m sorry wasn’t the original called Punch-Out, an arcade game that featured a grid style see-through boxer? I thought that game came out years before Mike Tyson’s and that his was the first home console game. Also I thought they removed him from the license because of his out of ring things like his fight with then wife Robin Givens and Nintendo wanted to distance themselves from the controversy? It doesn’t make sense they remove him from the game because of his first loss three years after its release. No one removed Buster Douglas from his boxing game after he lost title to Holyfield the same year he beat Tyson.
Mike Tyson once played Punch Out, but he can't get pass Glass Joe. If that is the case, then this is where Glass Joe got his first win out of 99 losses come from.
I saw that show. That was funny
Mike Tyson is Nick Bruiser confirmed
@@petersinkworking6198😂
Mike Tyson has been able to beat Glass Joe now though, so it's back to losing for our boy
😂😂😂
I never even knew they took Tyson out
I knew it was Mike Tyson’s punch out when it came out as a kid but by the time I got it Mr Dream was the final boss.
Neither did I.
Thank goodness for physical copies, they can't be altered by updates
i didn't know it had tyson in it bc i first played it on 3ds
I thought they took him out due to his legal issues at the time (he did prison time for alleged SA against his wife at the time).
Nintendo got extremely lucky with the timing of pretty much every aspect of that deal with Tyson. He was champ by the time the game released, but when he signed, he was still just a rising star, so they ended up with a champion's endorsement without paying the price for one. 3 years later, when the contract was ending, they would have had to pay a lot more to renew since he now held the title, and ultimately decided not to since it was now an older game and an already established hit.

I'm old. I only knew punch out as "Mike Tysons punch out." Its one of my favorites from nes in the 80's.
LoL right there with you. I still have my original copy.
It’s not that well known because punch out was only big when Mike was involved
It's funny they only changed the character model..the new boss has all the exact same moves and the same way you knock him out
He's also (possibly) designed after Rocky Marciano
(according to the punch-out wiki idk lol)
Why would they change anything else?
@@Markus-8MuiregI mean, it already has the "Dream" on the name of its special attack

Totally correct
"A licensing issue" thats a generous way to say it
In this case it’s likely to be true since why there was some controversy regarding him when he was removed his rape trial did happen until 1991.
Exactly because once you agree to have your image in a game the company forever owns the rights to it and can use as Nintendo chooses to!🥊🥊

there was also a gold jp cart that didn't have either. just ended after macho man

The actual original was a game in the arcades. It was pretty fun too. Looked and played a little bit different though with the green grid little Mac.
It was Punch Out in the arcade first then Mike Tyson's Punch Out for the home release.
I refuse to play the game without Mike Tyson…. Loved that game as a kid
Yup. The mini NES has the re-release with Mr Dream
No way they replaced Mike Tyson with Dream 🧮
Technically the very original Punch-Out!! came out 3 years before Mike Tyson’s
That explains why I got a different guy
I’m pretty sure it also wasn’t confirmed that it was because of Tyson’s title. They just decided not to not renew it. Maybe because it was expensive, maybe because they thought they didn’t need it, who knows.
I read the original with Mike Tyson's Punch Out is rare and pretty valuable 💯💯
No it’s not at all…
I still have the original Mike Tyson's Punch-Out
The original Punch Out!! was just called “Punch Out!!”, it was an arcade game
Mr. Dream
You’re a real G if you own both.
Pretty sure no one these days knows who Mr Dream is.
Funny enough, Mr. Dream bears resemblance to Rocky Marciano, the only heavyweight champion to retire undefeated.
This must be a Mandela Effect since I've never heard it called anything but Mike Tyson's Punch Out...
The one on the switch has Mr.Sandman as the final boss which is fun

It will only be Mike Tysons punch out.
Who DOESN'T know it's Mike Tyson's Punch Out?!?
That sucks because Iron Mike Tyson inspired “Punch-Out”
This brings back memories. I've beaten both Tyson and Mr. Dream.
Mike Tysons movements stress me out so much.
Fun fact: In the automatic RUclips discription the game's name is still stated as "Mike Tyson's punch out"
I thought I had the remake, but I have the original game with Mike Tyson in it
Mr dream? Now Sandman makes more sense in wii version
No the reason why it was changed because Mike Tyson’s contract expired and Nintendo would not make a new one
It was originally Punch-out, the arcade game and didn't have Tyson or Little Mac.
Actually there was a version before Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!! That only winners of a Nintendo golf championship would win and the final boss there was super macho man.
Man I been playing this game since the first day it was released I still have my copy and I still never beat it lol....
It was amazing, he game devs thought they had his permission, nope! Hope everyone cashes in, what a fun game!
That’s not at all what happened, no way you’re that stupid 😭
