Hey there, sports fans! And video game sports fans! I know those are sometimes not the same thing. I know many fans of basketball, video or otherwise, have been hotly awaiting the arrival of the latest in 2K Sports long-running hoops series on Apple Arcade. Well, wait no longer, friends.
I ve wondered if and when this would happen, but now the day has come. For those who haven t followed the state of SNK on mobile over the years, the Arcade Archives aren t the first time the former arcade giant has reissued its classics on iOS.
Let me make something clear before we even get started with this review, friends. I personally consider Punch-Out!! to be somewhere in the top ten NES games of all-time. Maybe top five, if you catch me on the right day.
I ve been informed by the shadowy consortium that occupies the penthouse floor of TouchArcade Towers that I am not allowed to talk about any video rental shops for the next few reviews. Fine. Fine. I wasn t going to talk about any of them today anyway.
