Punch-Out

Intro Punch-Out is a boxing video game series created by Nintendo's general manager Genyo Takeda, and his partner Makoto Wada. It was originally created because Nintendo had too many TV screens lying around in their warehouse, due to buying an abundance of them after the success of Donkey Kong (1981 video game). Genyo Takeda was consulted as to what to make, and he suggested a boxing game. Thus Punch-Out was born.
