Notes

There's an interesting story behind this game. Initially it was meant to be a sequel to Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! entitled Mike Tyson's Intergalactic Power Punch and was to be published by Nintendo. However with Tyson's incarceration, Nintendo decided to not to pursue further business with the athlete. The company also decided to drop the project entirely after it was decided Beam's efforts were not up to Nintendo's standards. Evidence:

  • There is no Power Punch 1
  • "Mark Tyler" is an obvious Mike Tyson expy
  • Nintendo holds the Power Punch II trademark
