Punch-Out!![a] is a 1984 arcade boxing video game developed by Nintendo R&D3 and published by Nintendo. It was the inaugural game in the Punch-Out!! series.
The original arcade game was a global commercial success, becoming the top-performing arcade game of 1984 in the United States. It produced an arcade sequel known as Super Punch-Out!!, a spinoff of the series titled Arm Wrestling, a highly popular version for the NES originally known as Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!, and Super Punch-Out!! for the SNES.
The arcade game introduced recurring characters such as Glass Joe, Bald Bull, and Mr. Sandman[broken anchor]. It was also the debut project at Nintendo for composer Koji Kondo, better known for his later contributions to the Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda series.
