Step into the ring with Punch Out Rev B, the iconic 1984 arcade boxing game by Nintendo. Known for its innovative wireframe player character and dual-monitor arcade cabinet, this classic tests your reflexes against a colourful cast of international opponents. As the underdog challenger, you must fight your way through the ranks, reading each boxer’s unique tells to dodge, block, and land punishing counterattacks on your path to the championship.
How to Play
The objective is to defeat each opponent by knockout or technical knockout before the time limit expires. Watch your opponents closely; their eyes or movements will telegraph their next attack. Dodging at the right moment leaves them vulnerable to a flurry of left and right hooks. Arcade controls are typically mapped to your keyboard: use the arrow keys to dodge left, right, or duck, and use the action keys to throw left punches, right punches, and devastating KO uppercuts when your meter is full.
Tips for Success
- Look for the flashing eyes: Many opponents, like Bald Bull, will flash their eyes yellow just before launching a heavy attack. That is your cue to dodge and counter.
- Manage your stamina: Throwing punches recklessly will tire you out. Wait for an opening instead of mashing buttons, or you will be left unable to attack.
- Save your KO punch: Build your KO meter by landing well-timed counters. Wait until the opponent is stunned to unleash the KO punch for massive damage.
