Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (NES) Full Playthrough w/ Mike Matei

[@TheMexicanRunner]

Little "Mike" vs Tyson and the winner is ..... Beating this straight from start to finish without losing is no joke, props to you Mike.

[@FramebyFrameanimation]

Beating 700+ NES games I think has a little more weight to it aha, congrats on that, but yeah this is still impressive

[@yppit6151]

Hey it's the lord of NES himself TMR!

[@MrPCSniperFi]

TMR!!! Good to see ya! Congrats on beating the entire NES library!

[@__1201]

If you memorize the patterns, the game isn't difficult up until Tyson.

[@TheMexicanRunner]

Thanks :D

I lost to glass Joe... I lost... to glass Joe.

Using the power glove I hope lol

[@sherrymitchell9347]

So did Nick Bruiser ☺️.

[@rickythekid]

Don Flamenco actually looks like Prince Charles.

[@RichardP539]

I thought he looked kind of like Dom Irrera.

[@BlueIcesevensix]

I was thinking the same thing, that he looks like Prince Charles.

[@mwo79]

BlueIcesevensix I always thought Don Knox

[@swellymp]

Gerard Depardeux

[@jeremyrobinson9646]

I always thought he looked like George Lazenby, or now maybe Steve Carrell

[@balzac00]

[@sirpiken]

It's really amazing how well this game holds up.

[@Untouchaable]

They should bring Tyson back in a new Punch-Out. Congrats on beating one of the best & toughest games on NES.

[@ThePuttercross]

I very much doubt Nintendo would affiliate itself with a convicted rapist.

[@CHRISTIANNWO]

Ali was greater than Mike, but Ali was not a big puncher. If they put Ali in Punch Out, they would have to make him super quick, super illusive, and super trash talker.

[@Elyseon]

Some people think Ali was bigger than life or something like that, but his personality when it came to boxing was shit. He didn't just trash talk, he mocked, insulted and belittled his opponents. No sportsmanship.

[@TBONE_2004]

Mr. Sandman gains a look similar to Mike Tyson in Punch-Out!! Wii, and he's just as brutal.

[@matthewford8977]

Zealot D3 i know capcom in the usa didn't since they change balrog in street fighter 2 from m.bison in the japan version to like i said balrog in the usa version of the game

[@Thenextworldwar]

This is one of those videos whose sole purpose is to make the game look so much easier than it actually is. Props to you.

[@jpupz]

I've forgotten names, birthdays, and phone numbers over the years. But I'll never forget the password to fight Mike Tyson on Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

[@jc.1191]

Same. 😂

[@ApexImportExport]

This was one of the best games until I discovered THPS3 on PS3 and those up-down-X-O-X-R1-R1 like codes swim in my head at times...Diablo 2 LOD was also like Punch Out with the obsessions with cow world.

[@BdByfull]

Best. Intro. Ever.

[@GaaraSama1983]

I really loved the facial expressions and body language of the boxers in this game. I still wonder how I beat it as a kid. Man, I don't have this patience and reflexes anymore.

[@ParadoxConundrum]

I always thought Don looked like Adam sandler

[@conradyo9274]

I couldn't stop laughing after Tyson's 3rd uppercut in the beginning. I know that feeling the 3rd uppercut is random and so fast. That was a hilarious reaction

[@CarlBergsdorf]

Sick intro Mike! Great detail and homage to the old splash screens.

[@TMMx]

Don Flamenco looks like John Turturro.

[@tomtanaka841]

TMM exactly who I was thinking of too!

[@deadmonton420]

TMM same here thats who i would get to play the part

[@rob5687]

Good call but I was thinking more like... Adrien Brody???

[@bw905]

bang on

[@galegzor1684]

David Battley

[@Batz130]

don flamenco = adam sandler lol

[@cypher838]

Holy shit he actually does look like him.

[@chestyglittersizzle569]

I thought i was the only one😂

[@ChairmanMeow1]

Man some of these NES games hold up so well. The design was perfect.

[@Darthadios]

Nice playthrough, The Nerdy Mike vs. The Iron Mike =) I can beat this game rather easily as well, only who gives me trouble sometimes is MIke Tyson. Also I didn´t know that strat to Soda Popinsky.

[@Tolman18]

When you fight Piston Honda for the second time, you will notice a guy in the crowd giving a cue to throw the knock out punch to the gut at the 2:00 minute mark in the round. If you go to 11:10 mark in this video, you will see in the front row towards the leftish side of the ring, a bearded guy nodding his head like he's giving you the ok to throw the knock out punch. Check it out it's really interesting!!! :)

[@demgutts]

I always thought piston Honda looked like Muhammad Ali

[@LotoTheHero]

He always make me think of George Takei with those crazy eyebrows for some reason.

[@balzac00]

Mr.Snadman look better like Ali

[@angelperez7891]

Mike, I noticed something interesting about all these contenders Little Mac fought in this game. The game characters are different from the arcade version. You fight Bald Bull much earlier than on the NES version. Glass Joe has a much harder, faster version of himself called Kid Quick. Piston Honda in the arcade game wasn't Japanese but instead he was a Cuban immigrant called Piston Hurricane. Before Don Flamenco the arcade progenitor was an Italian named Pizza Pasta. But later in the arcade game there was another fighter like Piston Honda from Hong Kong, Dragon Chan. Soda Poppinski was originally known as "Vodka Drunkenski!" Mr. Sandman was the toughest fighter in this entire arcade game package.

[@bascorasco7984]

Do a playthrough of Rocky on the master system pls

[@duczman76]

that was a game out of the category hard to finish

[@LivingWithGames]

No losses, and done in one sitting. All fights in one round except for Tyson. Real impressive, Mike.

[@joey_bruv268]

Adam Sandler

[@Revidescent84]

I read the comments just to see if anyone else thought so lol. I can't decide who's on the more unflattering side of that comparison.

[@benderjo]

nailed it

[@BossDD3]

Came here to say this.

[@Jonk_]

Yep was looking for this comment haha

[@anatomyG59]

Are you saying this because of Don Flamenco? Or something else?

[@MrShooter16]

Punchout will ALWAYS be the best boxing/sports game ever. It's just so good. It has iconic music, iconic characters, iconic gameplay, a lot of detail in the audience... nothing will ever top this game. I even got it on my 2DS, it may have been $10-15.

[@Faxanadu_]

Damn, that was clean as hell, even with Tyson. Good job.

[@schmidt640]

That was the hardest ass whooping of Piston Honda that I've ever seen! Dude made it look easy.

[@retromania8269]

I remember a few years ago playing this all the way through without getting knocked out once. It's actually a pretty easy game with practice.

[@oasisbeyond]

it's not easy... It's called you practiced and learned the patterns...

[@RockmanLabs]

The world needs Mike Matei's Punch Out!

[@derpknightfully]

Have you done Punch-Out on Wii? You should play it with James

[@jamesbrowning1535]

I watch you play so many games Mike, but the way you own this game is something else.

[@Rookillo1]

Now do Super Punch Out!

[@paleo704]

This

[@mike12345807]

One of the best games ever. Kept me up plenty of nights as a kid

[@LR2k8]

Mike vs. Mike

[@Alfboyz]

Mike wins

[@zachcouch1987]

17:44 All the best boxers come from there. -Mike Only names two fictional boxers hahahahaha

[@sammylane21]

PUNCH OUT would be so ideal for the V.R headset we have now.Except that it should have an updated line up of the recent who's who of Boxing mixed in with the classic characters as well as film characters (like how 'bout going a few rounds with Rocky Balboa,huh??) or even Boxers from tv shows like Drederick Tatum from The Simpsons??

[@ericcandelaria6109]

Sammy Lane there is a v.r game like punch out I don't know the name but sure you find it

[@GamingHistorySource]

16:58 Actor. Kevin Spacey. :)

[@LionPelt]

Don flamenco= adrien Brody

[@YesterdaysMoose]

Great video! Although you don't show it, I always thought the music at the beginning of Mike Tyson's Punch Out was funny. If the song had words, it would go: Mike Tyson is waiting for your challenge now... Let's go!

[@ChristopherM1701]

Great game on the NES. Challenging but fun. Always enjoy these play through games Cinnemassacre. Keep it up

[@VacantHaven]

Great play through Mike. Will your live stream of Mario 3 from yesterday be out up?

[@VacantHaven]

*put up

[@Indicaadventures1062]

LOOKS LIKE ANTONIO BANDERES! what do you think MIKE??

[@ChescoYT]

22:45

[@greytoeimp]

"Iron" Mike Matei lol

[@Brucebruirvin]

I never got past Soda Popinsky. You're a lifesaver, man :D

[@sodapopinski3208]

Damn straight

[@sammylane21]

Hey Mike,anyone ever tell you,you look just like Little Mac from this game??Well you kinda do,haha!!Why not be him for this years Halloween??

[@shophet125]

06:15 One could also say it's a rhythm game - move the controls at the right time to the boss' pattern and win, spam and lose

[@sashacosta]

Love these playthroughs Mike, when are you livestreming again?

[@navydoc8417]

YOU ARE A GOD AMONG MEN. i've never seen anyone beat Tyson

[@akamk18]

Mike is the best

[@michaelbraun6504]

A new secret was discovered only within the last year. It regards the Piston Honda fight on the WC. At that 2-minute mark you brought up for delivering the KO blow, the guy in the audience with the beard (located left-of center screen) signals you to punch. Watch him again at the 11:10 mark right before you knock Honda out.

[@OneArmedRetroGamer]

He didn't even get hit til Bull. Wow.

[@TheFettuck]

It's a pretty easy game if you know the patterns.

[@Trevin_Taylor]

TheFettuck yeah, it's really a puzzle game, not a boxing game.

[@Nitro_553]

Trevin Taylor By you calling it a puzzle game you made me hate punch out

[@Trevin_Taylor]

NitroBoost sorry. that's what it is. It's well disguised, but it's a puzzle game. didnt mean to ruin it.

[@KSIGhostOfAlice]

Mike, you are truly the best at this game. I've been watching your playthroughs for a long time. I hope you notice this comment. You are a great gamer. I've never seen anyone beat Tyson so quick. Love you bro' keep up the fantastic content!

[@retrogamer1753]

Where's AVGN???

[@retrogamer1753]

He has a kid now?

[@cuse445]

Smokin' Joe Frazier = Philadelphia!

[@johnrosie9769]

This game is timeless fun

[@segaalltimer4143]

Mike Matei's longplay is the best.

[@tractorman287]

Don flamenco looks like Sacha baron Cohen

[@justintahair9119]

or a bit like roy scheider

[@docriley79]

wow! ill give you props mike. i dont think ive ever seen anyone dominate punch out like that! i was especially surprised by how fast you beat honda and tiger! i can never get passed them without them doing their special at least once. good video.

[@WineHouse33]

The game is so much easier on a old crt tv. It's nearly impossible on new hd tv because of the delay. If you don't have a crt tv you won't beat it.

[@larkhainan]

There are panels with good input lag, but yeah, that's crucial to old school gaming.

[@gwarriorfromhell]

John Witsofire that's what the framemeister is for. It eliminates the lag input on newer sets when you hook up a console meant for crt

[@Nojask]

I started playing it on an hd tv, it's not really that bad once you get used to the input lag being a certain way. If you switch back and forth, then it becomes a problem

[@LotoTheHero]

Using the sound as cues helps a lot.

[@theenkbeeg]

Miss this game... miss my childhood ♥️

[@pollardjm3]

I always thought Don Flamenco looked like Jim Varney. R.I.P.

[@PlanetSidewinderGaming]

Ernest forever :D

[@jamesfujita2058]

I've never seen such a display of genuine power.

[@CrowRanaBurger]

My Favorite NES game!

[@dakotaburt9181]

This game haunted my childhood forever, and you beat it like you didn't even have to try...

[@inheritedcurse]

Mike's play throughs have become my favorite part of Cinemassacre!

[@Tsadi9Mem9Khet9]

"If you don't know that, it can be tough" No, it's IMPOSSIBLE to beat King Hippo otherwise. Luckily your corner man tells you what to do.

[@calminaeon]

This is actually really cool, because most people (myself included) hardly ever play through the ENTIRE game, start-to-finish anymore. I've only sat and done it maybe once or twice at most, so I salute you, Mike. You should give a playthrough to KickMaster. It's one of those hidden gems of the NES, I've always enjoyed the hell out of it. Not the hardest game in the world, but definitely fun. Kind of - if you enjoyed Holy Diver, you'll enjoy KickMaster. (Again, though - it's definitely easier than Holy Diver.) Edit: Also, I think he (Don Flamenco) looks like Dean Martin.

[@deadgametech6624]

One of my favorite childhood games. Good job beating Tyson so quickly in the second round Mike!

[@RetroCabeza]

I'm currently playing this game without looking at any guide and it feels GREAT when you figure out by yourself how to defeat an opponent. I'm actually stuck at Super Macho Man. The day I beat Tyson (Mr. Dream in my case) is going to be one of the greatest days ever in my gaming life.

[@Jahfen0563]

Duude the dopamine rushing through my head from the nostalgia.

[@MrBB81]

Mike, watching all your playthrough's is always so entertaining, sometimes intense. I love watching you crush these hard ass games. You are a beast in these vids; nearly flawless every time. Keep it up!

[@jakekeys88music]

Still have to work on beating it sometime. Thanks for the tips, Mike!

[@NerdArchives]

God bless for the smiles Mike. You're awesome (as usual) and broght back many great memories of this game. :D Again, thanks for the smiles Mike! Also, to add. I think Don Flemenco (to me) looks a little bit like Don Knots [from "Get Smart].

[@butkusfan23]

A younger, clean shaven John Turturro is Don Flameco's double. "Nobody fucks with the Jesus."

[@gustavogeneralacuna8112]

Thanks mike for playing this game gem of 1987.

[@gemini7308]

i love wat u guys r doing i watch james and mike mondays and ur playthrus fatefully. u make me wanna stream 2 keep up the good work.

[@IStink3]

One of my proudest moments in my gaming life was taking Super Macho out in RD 1 in Mike Tysons Punch Out!!

[@RalonsoF1]

Maaaan.. remembering my youth.. sweet memories!!! Thank you!!

[@welon17]

Oh my god... finally a real pro with this game! Pretty cool, every time I fight Mr. Dream (yeah, I got the virtual console edition), my hands are sweating, and beat him after 3 tries if I'm lucky, or 10+ tries if I'm terrified becaus who knows why. I play on 3DS.

[@preachaman2005]

You're killing it with the commentary, Mike!

[@thegreatcanadianlumberjack5307]

This is probably one of the quickest playthrough i have seen of this game. i am impressed. Now i want to go to my uncles house and break out this game and play it on the NES

[@tibbs3165]

I have to say I'm impressed Mike. I didn't think you would know any speedrunning tactics. You didn't do them all but you did a couple that I have trouble with so good job!

[@PlanetSidewinderGaming]

I think he should do AGDQ. I'd pay to go see that.

[@RelztewSirhc]

I might never be able to prove it, but, I hold the record for quickest time for defeating Gabby Jay in Super Punch Out. 2 witnesses, one surviving.

[@TheRadChannel]

@Cinemassacre what are you playing this on? Nes Mini? HDNES?

[@carlgrasso3872]

I am impressed by Mike Matei's video, Mike Tyson's punch is my favorite game of all time, and I did beat Tyson when I was nine, now that I'm 40 I'm slowed down a lot and it's very difficult for me to beat him. But he beat everybody in one round and Tyson in 2. He said he had practice with it but I don't know with practice that I can beat every guy in one round good job. Try the super Nintendo sequel which is really really hard. Good job Mike Matei

[@overthemountain90]

MIKE ' 12 inch" MATEI vs The stereotype boxing association This channel shoud be called Mike.

[@lawnboyfreak]

He never even mentioned how funny it is to let King Hippo win. As a kid I would give him the occasional win just to get a good laugh!

[@visuelliot]

Omg GREAT looking intro, Mike!! 😱👌🏼👌🏼

[@elway41177]

Damn Mike I thought I couldn't learn anything new in this game. I can complete it too but you just showed me how it's done. Great job Mike. Thanks for the great video.

[@cubesnake4855]

I totally agree with you when you say this is one of the best nes games. Great job on beating Mike Tyson's Punch Out.

[@ggali09]

Mike Matei has ice water running through his veins.

[@emilyapricot1313]

Where Macho Man does his 5 power punches in a row at 20:52 is when I lost.

[@griffinashby4707]

the playthroughs have been really cool mike thx

[@ronmower]

I learned some new tricks here. Awesome play through.

[@clutchkman]

Great game! Super Punch-Out is really good too, but I haven't played the Wii version still.

[@panzersnapdragon3087]

you're a true American hero Mike, loving all your full playthrough videos

[@icantsurf89]

Nice one Mike. I generally give up shortly after the first training montage. Nice intro too!

[@davoxime]

Man that intro is SICK!

[@nene71286]

The Master of Punch Out!

[@MisterTutor2010]

Given how fast the New York skyline is passing in the training montage, the main character must be running at forty miles an hour.
