Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (or just plain ol' Punch-Out!! if you arrived too late to the party to enjoy that brief window of time where Tyson was actually admired) remains one of Nintendo's most beloved classics. It was one of those rare instances where the limitations of home hardware worked in an arcade port's favor: While the original game was a decent enough boxing sim, the NES version benefited from an extra dose of underdog whimsy thanks to its redesigned hero. The average-sized green-grid dude who traded punches with comical stereotypes in the arcade became the plucky young Little Mac, a diminutive, charismatic up-and-comer who was about half the height of his opponents. You couldn't help but want him to win...and it didn't hurt that the game was incredibly fun, too.

"Nintendo is widely known for its deep, eclectic well of beloved franchises. From The Legend of Zelda to Wrecking Crew, there’s no library in gaming as rich in history or as popular among fans.
2019 is shaping up to be a banner year for Nintendo, with representatives from Mario, Fire Emblem, Zelda, and Pokémon all gracing the Switch platform before the year’s end. At the same time, there are still plenty of Nintendo franchises that lie dormant this generation, in desperate need of the “Switch treatment.”
While there are plenty of legendary series worthy of a revival, here are six in particular I would absolutely kill to see on Switch in the near future."
A new Golden Sun and Mother would be great, but I wish I wasn't the only one that wants a new StarTropics.
