The first game was ''[[Punch-Out!! (arcade game)|Punch-Out!!]]'' made in 1984 as an arcade unit, which wasand followedpublished by a sequel ''[[Super Punch-Out!! (arcade game)|Super Punch-Out!!Nintendo]]'' (1984). The seriesplayer wascontrols releaseda onboxer homenamed consoles soon after, starting with ''[[Punch-Out!!

The original ''[[Punch-Out!! (arcade game)|Punch-Out!!]]'' [[Arcade game|arcade game]] was first released in 1984,<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Evolution of Punch-Out!! |url=https://stoneagegamer.com/blog/the-evolution-of-punchout |access-date=2024-04-05 |website=stoneagegamer.com |language=en |archive-date=2024-04-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240405135825/https://stoneagegamer.com/blog/the-evolution-of-punchout |url-status=live }}</ref> and was quickly followed by a sequel, titled ''[[Super Punch-Out!! (arcade game)|Super Punch-Out!!]]''. The series received its first home console entry in 1987, with ''[[Punch-Out!! (NES)|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!]]'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. In 1994, ''[[Super Punch-Out!!]]'' was released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. While not a direct port, it features gameplay more similar to the arcade games, rather than its NES predecessor.
A reboot of the series entitled ''[[Punch-Out!! (Wii)|Punch-Out!!]]'', was released in May 2009 on the [[Wii]], along with a Club Nintendo exclusive [[WiiWare]] prequel ''[[Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!]]'' in October 2009. The series also had a spin-off called ''[[Arm Wrestling (video game)|Arm Wrestling]]'', which was released only in North American arcades, and was Nintendo's last arcade game they independently developed and released.
 
Following a period of dormancy, the series was rebooted with ''[[Punch-Out!! (Wii)|Punch-Out!!]]'', first released in 2009 for the [[Wii]], along with a [[Club Nintendo]]-exclusive prequel, ''[[Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!]]''. The series has received critical and commercial acclaim, with the NES game selling three million copies alone.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/85752027/|title=Nintendo has Singlehandedly has revived the video game industry|newspaper=[[Albuquerque Journal]]|page=13|date=October 16, 1989|accessdate=September 22, 2021|via=[[Newspapers.com]]|archive-date=February 7, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230207162030/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/85752027/albuquerque-journal/|url-status=live}}</ref>
 
Spin-offs were also released, namely ''[[List of Game & Watch games#Boxing|Punch-Out!! / Boxing]]'' ([[Game & Watch]]) in 1984, and ''[[Arm Wrestling (video game)|Arm Wrestling]]'' in 1985.
 
==Gameplay==
Playing as [[Little Mac]], a 17-year old boxer from the [[Bronx, New York|Bronx]], hethe player must climb the ranks of the World Video Boxing Association (WVBA for shortW.V.B.A.), and fight histheir way against other boxers from around the world, going from the Minor Circuit then the Major Circuit and then the World Circuit, while fighting challengers including [[Glass Joe]], [[King Hippo]], Piston Hondo, Don Flamenco, Bald Bull, Mr. Sandman, or in the original NES version, the former heavyweight boxing champion himself, [[Mike Tyson]]. Gameplay differs slightly between each game, but generally, Mac can attack withusing his left and right fists, atperforming theeither heada orhook, thea bodydodge, andor an uppercut. He can also dodge and block to avoid the opponent's attacks, the block dealing less damage. Many games in the series give the player a powerful uppercut ability; its use is limited, must be earned during matches, and hasis aearned starfrom punchwell-timed that can be obtained by hitting an opponent while tauntingpunches or atrapid just the right time. Little Mac can also blockcombos, causingdepending himon tothe take minimal damagegame.
 
The key to defeating each opponent is to learn their fighting patterns, avoid their attacks and respond with a counterattack. Opponents will always give a visual or audible cue to signal their next attack, though as the game progresses, the time given to the player to successfully react significantly decreases. If the player successfully dodges an attack, the opponent will be left vulnerable for a while, allowing the player to strike back. Little Mac can block some of his opponent's punches by holding up his gloves, but he will eventually tire out if he blocks too much.

==Appearances in other media==
 
Punch-Out!! would get referenced in [[Family Guy]] on multiple occasions. In "Tales of a Former Sport Glory", during Peter's boxing fight for the title they use the sound effects from the Arcade ("Nintendo") Punch-Out!!, since they were "out of budget to take it (music) from the movie." In "A Fistful of Meg", when Meg goes to Quagmire to help get training, they re-enact the famous bicycle scene from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!. And in "Not All Dogs go to Heaven", when Meg gets the family together to say grace and let's Peter lead, Peter prays to God for the cheat codes to Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, stating that he was stuck on Bald Bull for years.
The game was digitally re-released on the Wii U via the Nintendo eShop's Wii virtual console in 2015. It can be played directly on the Wii U menu instead of going to the Wii emulator of the Wii U. Features 1080p up-scaled graphics in 480p.

==Other appearances in media==
The series has made multiple appearances in other games as well. The Super NES version of ''[[Super Punch-Out!!]]'' was included in the [[GameCube]] version of [[Electronic Arts]]' ''[[Fight Night Round 2]]''. The protagonist of the Super NES version of ''Super Punch-Out!!'' appears as a secret boxer in full 3D with the name "MAC" on his boxers and was referred to as "Little Mac" as part of the Nintendo-exclusives deal between Nintendo and EA in allowing several Nintendo characters to star in EA sports games. Due to the third-party nature of his role in the game, it is considered by several fans of the series, to be uncanon. Little Mac further made a cameo appearance in [[skip Ltd.]]'s [[Wii]] video game ''[[Captain Rainbow]]'', where the title character has to help train Little Mac to get in shape to regain his championship title.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wii.ign.com/objects/142/14265257.html |title=IGN: Captain Rainbow |publisher=Wii.ign.com |access-date=2011-04-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111109102923/http://wii.ign.com/objects/142/14265257.html |archive-date=2011-11-09 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Little Mac also appears as an assist trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros.
