Power Punch II was an NES boxing game released in 1992. Originally conceived as a sequel to the 1987 NES game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (hence the II Roman numeral), the game was developed by Beam Software under supervision from Nintendo, until the latter disowned the production of the game, and as a result, it was published by American Softworks Corp. Due to limited distribution and multiple issues with putting the game together, the release of the game was rather silent. It is largely considered to be an inferior follow up to the Punch-Out!! series with poor mechanics and an outlandish plot.
