Man, TKO Super Championship Boxing on SNES is one of those games that looks simple at first—just pick a boxer and start swinging—but there’s actually some sneaky depth to it. The controls feel a little stiff at first (this is 16-bit boxing, after all), but once you get the hang of dodging and timing uppercuts, it clicks. I remember wasting my first few matches just button-mashing until I realized you could actually duck under hooks if you timed it right.

The fighters all have weird, exaggerated stances—some lean way back, others bounce around like they’ve had too much coffee—and that actually changes how you approach them. The guy with the afro? Brutal left hook. The bald dude in red? Weirdly good at counters. Matches get tense when you’re both down to a sliver of health, bobbing around waiting for an opening. It’s not the prettiest boxing game out there, but there’s something satisfying about landing that perfect combo to send your opponent stumbling. Just don’t expect a deep career mode—this is pure arcade-style punch-fest.
