Mike Tyson plays Mike Tyson's Punch-Out

So Mike Tyson was a guest on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, And he played against himself in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out on the NES.

How ironic that even Mike Tyson can't beat Mike Tyson.

Sigh. Finally beating that game was one of the proudest moments of my gaming life. Think I was 11 when I finally did it. Felt great, wasn't sure if it was a fluke. Pulled it off again two years later in a room full of my friends when we were taking a break from recording their album. None of them had ever done it and couldn't believe I pulled it off. For a few minutes, I was a God.

For the record, I've only ever beaten Tyson by playing the game from the beginning. I've NEVER been able to beat it using the cheat code and skipping right to him. I actually need to "warm up" by going through the whole roster first; if I go in cold against Tyson my timing is off and I get murdered.

I felt like I could beat the real Tyson for a split second.

"Dude, I have incredible reflexes." - My train of thought

I can't remember if the first time was a KO or on points. I didn't think you could even win that fight on points, so seeing Iron Mike drop a deuce in his trunks when Mario gave me the W by decision was classic.

I've only beaten it a few times and haven't played it in forever, so I can't remember whether I've done it more by points or KO. If I ever get my NES out of storage and cleaned up, I'll take another whack at it, see if The Kid still got the magic.

The Wii version is much better.
