Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! Arcade Edition

Archive note

A Japanese arcade flyer advertising an alternate 1984 release of the Mike Tyson boxing game, positioning it as a coin-op cabinet rather than the home console version that would eventually emerge. The poster depicts Mike Tyson himself, rendered in pixel-art style, delivering a punch through an arcade cabinet screen—a visual fiction collapsing the boundary between athlete and game character. Collectors of lost arcade ephemera and boxing memorabilia will recognize this as evidence of a distribution strategy that never materialized.
