From what I can gather, this game was scheduled to be released very close to when Mike Tyson was originally arrested for rape. The story goes that a guy at the NintendoAge forums has one of the very few copies known to exist. That forum raised an absurd $1,500 to get him to dump it. RetroZone is now selling newly manufactured copies for $30. I have no desire to buy a copy, but I found the story interesting.
This looks suspiciously like another (shitty) NES boxing game. can't recall the name tho
LOL @ "Bite Alien Ear!"
Yeah, this came out under another name.
Power Punch II. They replaced Tyson, but not really, ostensibly because all black people look alike to Australians.
Always wondered why there was a Power Punch II. Just kinda assumed they were trying to gravy train of Punch Out. So this is the exact same as Power Punch II, but with Tyson?
yeah, and don king and robin givens
Yes.Quote:

Very rare indeed and a great sign of the NES community to pull together and get it released.
Now that it's released, the rom is free for everyone. Just link off the main page of nintendoage.com
