Storyline
Mark "Tough Guy" Tyler is the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world, with an Olympic gold medal and a 33-0 (30 KO) record to his claim. After knocking out another opponent with ease, Tyler and his manager taunt the world by saying that no one can stop him. However, the broadcast is picked up far from Earth in the outer reaches of the universe by an alien boxing promoter for the Intergalactic Boxing Federation (IGBF). The promoter decides to accept Tyler’s challenge that he can beat “anyone”. Thus Tyler is brought into the throes of the universe to compete against the best boxers in the universe and defend his earthly title.
Development
Power Punch II was originally developed under the supervision of Nintendo as a sequel to their hit Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! for the NES. The game was originally titled Mike Tyson's Intergalactic Power Punch and was to feature real-life, heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson as the original protagonist. However, Nintendo made the changes due to Tyson's mounting legal troubles.
