Taken from a season 1 episode of Video Power (1990).

That year, Nintendo had replaced Mike Tyson for a character named Mr. Dream.

Its still unclear wether Mike Tyson was removed from Punch Out!! due to an expired endorsement contract or his defeat against James Buster Douglas in Tokyo, Japan.

This clip features Johnny Arcade in one of his many horrendous game reviews on the re-released Punch Out!! game.

  • johnny arcade wearing blackface is kinda inappropriate for a kids show.

  • its Mickey!

  • @NinjaReviewer

    Yep, they changed him to 'Mr.Dream'. Apparently it was because the licensing to use Mike Tyson's name ran out in 1990. In 1991 was when he got arrested and it all went downhill.

  • lol i remember watching mike tyson loose

  • That PSA at the end seemed weird as fuck! Haha. Where did that come from?!

  • I think they re-released Punch out! As Mike Tyson wasn't a good "rolemodeling-icon" for the youth..

  • i just got punch out

    but unfortunate ly its the Mr. Dream version

  • this blew my mind when they did that

    cant replace iron mike

  • Wow. They had video reviews back then? I always thought nintendo power did all that. I was born in 1994 so I missed the golden age of gaming and it's by-products. LOL

  • THAT'S VIDEO POWER!! woot woot!
