Game Overview

World Champ is one of those NES boxing games that doesn’t mess around—no fancy intros, no complicated mechanics, just you and some very angry pixelated dudes swinging at each other. The controls are simple: jab, hook, block, and pray you don’t eat a counterpunch to the face. At first, I kept getting knocked out in the second round because I button-mashed like an idiot, but once you learn to time your dodges and pick your shots, it clicks.

The fighters all have this weird, exaggerated style—like someone took a caricature artist’s sketch and turned it into a sprite. The crowd noise is just a loop of muffled cheering, and the ref looks like he’s seen too many concussions. But there’s something weirdly satisfying about landing a perfect uppercut and watching your opponent wobble before faceplanting onto the canvas.

It’s not the deepest boxing sim, but if you want a quick, no-frills brawl that feels straight out of an arcade, this one’s got a mean right hook.
