In exciting news for retro gaming enthusiasts, the highly-anticipated SNES port of the classic NES game Punch-Out!! is now available for download. The port, created by the talented ROM hacker and porting expert Infidelity, promises to bring the beloved boxing game to the Super Nintendo with a host of quality-of-life improvements and enhanced audio.

Infidelity has made a name for himself in the retro gaming community by porting several iconic NES titles to the SNES, each featuring a range of enhancements and improvements. His previous works include well-received ports of Mega Man, Mega Man II, Mega Man IV, Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, and DuckTales.

The Punch-Out!! SNES Port Announcement

The announcement of the Punch-Out!! SNES port came via an incredibly unsubtle teaser trailer posted on Infidelity’s Twitter account. The trailer, which features an edited version of a SNES commercial starring Paul Rudd, is set to LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out” and includes clips of Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! for the NES as well as Mike Tyson’s cameo in the 2009 comedy The Hangover.

Fans of the classic boxing game will be thrilled to learn that the SNES port of Punch-Out!! is now available for download here, as well as the rest of his ports. While the specific quality-of-life features included in the port have not been detailed, Infidelity’s previous works suggest that players can expect a range of enhancements designed to improve the overall gaming experience. Edit: this is just a straight port. No enhancements. 

As the retro gaming community eagerly dives into this new SNES port of Punch-Out!!, we’d love to hear from you about the quality-of-life features you’d like to see included in the game.

The Backfire Effect As funny as the ads seemed in the moment, many players and parents found them off putting. Not everyone wanted to open a gaming magazine only to be blasted by the smell of spoiled food or worse. While the gag fit EarthBound’s tongue in cheek tone, it did not make the game’s actual strengths clear. Instead of explaining its charming writing, modern setting, and unique battle mechanics, the marketing painted the game as a gross out comedy that did not match its true personality. The campaign also struggled because it targeted the wrong pain point. RPG fans were ready to embrace new titles after Final Fantasy III and Chrono Trigger, but Nintendo’s push for EarthBound downplayed that community and instead tried to lure kids who preferred Mortal Kombat or NBA Jam. As a result the game’s advertising appealed to an audience unlikely to stick around while alienating the players who might have loved it most. Even in hindsight the scratch and sniff gimmick feels more like a prank than a promotion. It got attention, but not the kind that converted into purchases at the register. Legacy of a Smelly Campaign EarthBound’s sales were disappointing for Nintendo, and many analysts point to its marketing as one reason why. The game itself went on to become a cult classic, beloved for its heartfelt story, quirky dialogue, and unique suburban setting. But in 1995 its first impression was defined by scratch and sniff jokes rather than its creative brilliance. Today the “This Game Stinks” campaign is remembered as both a curiosity and a cautionary tale. It shows how risky advertising can overshadow the very product it tries to sell. Fans still bring up the ads in retrospectives, often with a mix of laughter and disbelief that Nintendo ever thought it was a good idea. In the end EarthBound outgrew its smelly reputation. Thanks to word of mouth, emulation, and re releases, it is now regarded as one of the finest RPGs of the 16 bit era. But the scent of its original marketing campaign will always linger as one of the strangest footnotes in video game history.
