World Champ (NES)

It’s Valentine’s Day and what better way to celebrate than getting in the squared circle duking it out. Deen and Boy see who can come out on top to become world champ on…World Champ for the NES. WHO WILL WIN?!

World Champ is a boxing game that has many similarities to Data East’s Ring King. You can play a one player “Ranking” mode, where you can build your boxer’s stats up while climbing the ladder to eventually challenge for a championship in one of the four weight classes. There is also a two player vs. mode where you and a friend can square off. A tournament mode allows up to 8 players participate in a bracketed tournament.

Gameplay consists of each boxer moving around the ring trying to land jabs, hooks, and uppercuts. The goal is to either knock your opponent out for a 10-count or have the most points on the scorecard at the end of the allotted amount of rounds.
