Fanmade SNES Port of Punch-Out!! Now Available for Download

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.
