Nintendo Arm Wrestling Arcade Game - Real Hardware

[@Fygee]

My condolences to the left microswitch on that joystick. I love the ridiculously wacky sound effects.

[@figment1988]

And some of the voice samples are taken from many sources such as the Extraordinary and We Have been Waiting For you from Enter the Dragon while Ape 3's laugh is sampled from Woody Woodpecker

[@Fygee]

@@figment1988 Neat!

[@RaposaCadela]

This, and the original Punch-Out, would have worked greatly as DS re-released

[@ThunderFist1978]

Welfz Twingo Furs I said the same thing for years.

[@TheRealScareMaster]

And the original Super Punch-Out!!

[@jrjunglist]

I had the honor and pleasure to play this arcade game. It is insanely fun and addicting to play. I’m getting better each time I play and so far I’ve gotten to Round 8. Gonna keep playing it until I complete the first loop or reach the last round.

Button Mashing: The Game.

wrong

​@@trollkilla7681nah.

[@notaadamritm]

​@@Keezawea💀

[@BrianRosenbergMusican]

Not at all. You actually have to know exactly when to move the stick side to side.

[@mwh991]

Man the sound effects are so addictive to listen to!

[@joecab1]

Man I loved this game. Thanks for the memories. I laughed pretty hard the first time I saw someone pull that mask off

[@earthjin2000]

I remember Disneyland had this in their arcade near space mountain.

[@mizpower7620]

Yea!!! Only place I ever played it or saw it. I actually used to look forward to going to Disneyland just to play this game. Ha.

[@FreeBlezzingz]

This was at my local YMCA...I used to hustle quartes off my mom for snack just to play this game never bought snack

[@DJIncendration]

Do they still? I'd like to go there if they do.

[@trollkilla7681]

No that was in the 80's@@DJIncendration

[@trollkilla7681]

same here@@mizpower7620

[@nick-playercharacter8583]

Calling it now, Ape III will be a playable character in ARMS.

[@commanderdemonno9819]

sadly, you were incorrect hopefully they add it as a dlc character but they probably won't since this was a one-off and i'm pretty sure nintendo just forgot about it

[@MeesterTweester]

commander demonno It's not even in Smash Bros., they probably did

[@Jaffersin]

One of the only references to the game was actually made in the reboot version of Punch Out!! for Wii as a comment Doc can make when fighting Bald Bull. I haven't seen it come up since, though I wouldn't be surprised if it got some nod in a Warioware game, they loved to reference obscure early Nintendo stuff.

[@MeesterTweester]

Jaffersin I haven't seen that Doc Louis comment. I don't think WarioWare referenced it either.

[@Jaffersin]

@@MeesterTweester Yeah it probably hasn't been referenced since but Doc does reference it. It's one of his possible lines he says between rounds in the 2009 version and he can say it during the Contender or Title Defense version of the fight.

[@philipmeyer8801]

That robot was hard. Remember my freshman yr in hs in '91 playing this

[@DJIncendration]

Wow, Mame doesn't emulate the sound of this all that great. Glad there's a video to compare.

[@Soulintent95]

This would have been really cool if they were able to incorporate a controller, which is an arm that you wrestle with yourself.

[@720zone]

Totally - There are games like that around. It would be a good workout.

[@casualslax]

Man, that cabinet is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@jaygee1616]

Yes it is beautiful, someone kept it in great shape

[@MxArgent]

The ridiculously loud noise when Mac(?) pulls off APE III's arm always gets me laughing.

[@123TauruZ321]

Me too ^^ most sounds from games one can recreate with ones voice, but that sound is impossible ^^

[@derossetmyers47]

This seems like the kind of machine that would require a lot of maintenance.

[@umahmii]

definitely

[@larkefedifero]

Holy Crap! Little Mac nailing "The Big Mac" in 5 seconds is quite a feat!! Nice work. 😊

[@HolyFlare484]

Additional comment: If you get to Round 20, the game will basically kick you off and say they have no money

[@720zone]

Really!!?!?! Never knew this. I need to get back into this game.

[@fiend4129]

Europe>France>French riviera>Juan les pins pinede. we had this luck to play the game near 1990, THE Attraction of the place, so incredible, will never forget the ambiance around

[@DrumsVRDUS]

Theres also new 2022 PC arm wrestling game called, Arm Wrestling Reborn.

[@666elrey666]

I remember there used to be an arm wrestling game that had like an actual arm that you can wrestle against Forgot the name of that one

[@willieramirez4586]

I'm on here because I was hoping to find the same one that you are talking about. I thought it was this one. If you do ever find out what it's called or where to find it can you lmk.

[@3bettor287]

Willie Ramirez kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZTKYq2ZabWbrKc

[@beybladeandrewb820]

Omg same bro

[@stonetic2515]

This is the one. You could get the game like this, as a conversion kit for Punch Out, or as a standalone cabinet that was sit-down and had the mechanical arm.

[@Angryjon]

This is a few years late, lol, but you might be thinking of Arm Champs II

[@giornobpr6546]

I knew it was Bald Bull because his shape head and his mustash gives it away and his upside down evil smile

[@ThunderFist1978]

I've never seen this in the arcade, but it's a dream to play it in arcade form one day. I have beaten the first set of 5 characters on MAME, but it's just not the same.

[@DJIncendration]

DJCandyManMike I have tried to scam and it is yes it is very hard

[@FreeBlezzingz]

Whsts mame

[@SorarikoMotone]

@@FreeBlezzingz its a pc emulator for the arcade machine games such as the one shown in the video

[@FreeBlezzingz]

@@SorarikoMotone so you are saying I can get the PC emulator and put it in the cabinet and I can play this game????

[@FigureFarter]

@@FreeBlezzingz You put it on your PC, not the cabinet

[@LucasIsHereYT]

This is the original button masher

[@trollkilla7681]

no

[@ResurrectedElvenMonk]

*BA BAA BA BA BALD BULL...* *Thud Sfx* You win. Whoo Yahoo yahoo!

[@tartgreenapple]

Beautiful cabinet.

[@MadGameBoy]

I allways saw this from the ingame perspective I allways thought it was one of those arcade machines with an arm sticking out of it that would physically push back when the A.I did Guess I was fooling myself...

[@FigureFarter]

You're thinking of Jaleco Arm Champs

[@ChrisCurry-jq9uo]

uhh how far would zallard1 get blind folded?

[@FreeBlezzingz]

My favorite game of my life....

[@720zone]

You obviously have great taste. Appreciate the comment!

[@goodguyty]

Good looking game. Even though the game was made in 1985, the graphics could still hold it's own in 2016.

[@TremiRodomi]

I think it's partly due to the fact that the graphics are very cartoony.

[@SamtheBravesFan]

@@TremiRodomi Agreed. When done well, cartoons have a timeless quality because they're based in fantasy.

[@doddsino]

Wow! I've been interested in getting this arcade for a long time. Was there a specific cabinet made for it? Decals? Anyways, great video. Thank you for sharing.

[@720zone]

Hey thanks for the comment! Arm Wrestling is a crazy, awesome game. There was not a specific cabinet made. It was sold only as a kit that would upgrade a Punch-Out cabinet to AW. The Kit included a complete new control panel, including the new joystick, a new marquee, the PCB, and Yes: A new decal for the side of the Cab.

[@segaalltimer4143]

Real fun idea.

[@FrenzyProgram]

Hey! Do you know anywhere I can play this digitally or physically?

[@seriousspikesam7770]

Man... I've seen an actual arm wrestling game (where you have to push an arm to the other side or stalemate it in the middle) but this looks wacky as hell.

[@ducktail4068]

Looks confusing hectic and fun

[@akaBPhife]

Excellent! I may have questions later though

[@stphinkle]

It looks like they used a lot of code from Punch-out! Also Mask X looks like Bald Bull from Punch-Out!

[@FigureFarter]

You could buy it as a conversion kit or standalone unit

[@yomama9390]

wow, can nobody complete the second loop? jesus. I get stopped at kabuki because i'm no good at hesitating for skulls

[@celinesenden4142]

Seems like a hard game

[@mav6771]

Wow, that looks really fucking tiring

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

***** Just like real life.

[@waymonboyer5969]

Thanks for the tips

[@nintendorakyamato1859]

Yahoo yahoo!

[@jwilder2251]

You’re a god among men

[@kivaHBRO_04]

0:49 WOW! YAHOO YAHOO

[@HIDEFACES]

Damn you're a beast

[@NadrianATRS]

Seems like they should've made the arcade box with something resembling an arm instead of a joystick

[@AlexKrasnyPrime]

NadrianATRS Someone else did that later

[@willieramirez4586]

I'm looking for that game. I use to play the one with the arm. You had to be pretty strong to get passed the 3rd guy

[@KareemHillJr]

Are you thinking of Arm Champs II?

[@ThunderFist1978]

That looks like Tron side art on the side, but there’s no way that’s in a Tron cabinet. What was it originally?

[@720zone]

Yo! thanks for the comment. Everything in my garage is original cabinets. Star Wars, Quantum, Tron, Pacman, Pole Position, 720 of course!

[@ThunderFist1978]

Ah, okay! I didn’t remember the sides of the cabinet being that shape or having that artwork on the inside, but looking at another picture, I do see it now. Awesome collection by the way, especially the Arm Wrestling and Quantum! I have never seen a Quantum cabinet with my own eyes, but have seen and played the rest of the ones you listed on original cabinets.

[@dmace81]

Why do you have green hair. lol

[@streeTkiDwannaBe]

Well it's the same Mac character from the arcade Punch Out but I don't know why they went with green hair for both this and Punch Out.

[@ThemePark_Nerdo]

streeTkiDwannaBe it might be because of technical limitations

[@mattsmoo5378]

Figment1983 If Nintendo colored in his hair green then they can make it brown or whatever. That would be an easy thing to change.

[@ThunderFist1978]

Why don’t you have green hair?

[@Superflow66]

Great game i used to love playing it at the mall

[@michaelstroman6759]

This game is fucking hard!!!

[@sebastiankulche]

I play it in emulator with saves and I'm going for the round 15 ... I can not beat kabuki for the third time, it's the strategy but you have less than 1/4 of a second to do it and it's impossible, even with saves do not happen there .... It does not have logic that kabuki is more difficult than fran jr ... it is like glass joe that soon becomes stronger than mr sadman ..... a wimp .... he becomes stronger than a boxer ... wow

[@sosvanburito3000]

Title defence 3:36

[@omarrasheed3276]

Anyone know where I can buy this arcade ?

[@ratedrbeboparcade]

Oh man kabuki I can't beat Fn mask I'm a to kick my cab lol

[@cameronknapp7315]

Where did you find this cabinet?

[@Denniz2743]

I made it to round 10 and it's almost imposible ok just made it to round 14

[@amaulana090]

The first ever... NINTENDO DUAL SCREEN.

[@ThunderFist1978]

DatGameh Nope. The original Punch-Out!! was the first Nintendo dual monitor arcade game. Super Punch-Out!! was next, and then Arm Wrestling.

[@amaulana090]

DJCandyManMike Riiiiight! Punch out... Actually set in the same universe as this game too!

[@ThunderFist1978]

DatGameh Bald Bull's appearance shows us that much. I would love to see this game in arcade form one day. I've seen and played the other two in arcades.

[@amaulana090]

DJCandyManMike Really? I wish I could play any of them... Oh well.

[@ThunderFist1978]

DatGameh Punch-Out!! is easy enough to find. I've seen several around within 3 states even nowadays. I've seen one in Louisville, KY, one in Brookfield, IL, one in Huntington, WV, and one somewhere in Ohio that I saw in a pic. And that's just in the past 2 years. If you look around you can find them, but Super Punch-Out!! is far less frequently seen. I've only ever seen two of them in my life, the most recent being the weekend before last in Goodlettsville, TN. Arm Wrestling would be even harder to find, and I think I'm stating the obvious when I say I have never seen one of them in arcade form.

[@philipmeyer8801]

Classoc ...

[@SimoSanchezOFF]

2:22 These are the biggest cheaters ever

[@Nickrj3]

What about Mask X and Frank Jr? Texas Mac and the Kabuki are the only fair wrestlers

[@itsliterallyljoe]

How did you counter the skulls?

[@alexcordero8432]

Ion Twinkiez* Timing. When one appears in your button combo, you pause for a sec, and as soon as it changes into the ! or the coin you keep pressing the button.

[@themadlion7634]

It would be cool if this game could be found on the Nintendo switch in the very near future.

[@MaximumAddition]

I mean, today we got Super Punch-Out Arcade so it's the only one missing

[@aidenwilliams6397]

How do I pull mask x mask off

[@bruhbruhbruh645]

You pull the stick up towards the sky, or just press the key for the pull function if you just so happen to use MAME and not a real machine.

[@brandon2521]

What is the name of the game?

[@wipeoutjack209]

Arm Wrestling

[@nelsonkiiru7252]

This is lousy, it can never beat a game with an actual arm to wrestle with.
