Interesting game though. Do you know what the arcade cabinet was like? Was it a button basher? Or you had to waggle the joystick or something? Or did it have an actual arm you wrestled with?
As I recall, the joystick had no buttons, but had a 5th switch on it that was activated when you pull the stick upwards. That was how the player was to pull off Bald Bull's mask.
Alice looks like a normal kid in the portrait, but in the game window I always find myself thinking, “That’s the ugliest child I’ve ever seen.” And don’t get me started on the Woody Woodpecker on crack laugh.
The clarity of the voice synthesis is amazing for the time. You can even hear the Japanese-English accent of the announcer at 3:49 - “Nao challenge: Arise and Ape Sree.”
You can also hear the announcer in Nintendo’s Wild Gunman has a Japanese accent-he says “FIYAH” when he yells “FIRE!!”. This is because in Wild Gunman, it’s actually a sample of a real person, and there’s a common misconception that it sounds this way due to digital compression (the NES actually had very good sampling capabilities, and audio only sounded scratchy due to most programmers being unfamiliar with a quirk in the hardware that caused data to be read differently, so most games had corrupted sound samples that sounded “rough”).
This and Track and Field were the two most noisiest games in my local arcade in 1985. The abuse those two cabinets got was immense. Those were also the two most watched games.
That could be cool! *Alice and Ape III* would make for especially interesting opponents; with the robot doing the actual boxing, and Alice (who in my headcanon is from Amsterdam, the Netherlands) manually controlling him from just outside the ring. In particular, I could see her using modified Nintendo controllers to do so; an NES Advantage joystick in the Contender bout, and a Virtual Boy (with a more powerful *Ape IV* upgrade) in the Title Defence one. Likewise, I could see *Kabuki* working well as a power/defense-orientated contender (hailing from either Kyoto or Osaka, referencing the cities being the early hotbeds of modern sumo), who could be a boisterous and pragmatic counterpart to the more serious and fair-minded Piston Hondo. In particular, being resistant to body blows and willing to use techniques such as grapples, palm thrusts and ground-shaking stomps (that can stun you for short periods, ala Rick Bruiser) in his bouts.
I am old enough to remember this in the arcade...a 'conversion kit' to punch-out, it had two monitors screens on top of one another. Not nearly as popular as punch-out, it left many arcade owners wishing they had not converted it.
I was 12 or so at the time this came out. There were a few teens who could play this forever on a single quarter. It was popular to watch but for the arcade owner it may have been a pain.
I imagine the maintenance on the machine and the ease of play was rough on operators. But fun for the players wanting to show off to their girlfriends after the late night movie.
+Megamanbr play Technically Bald Bull was from the ARCADE game Punch Out that came out in 1984, the NES port with Tyson came out in 1987 and had a lot of differences from the original arcade game
Yes, I obviously realize that Mask X is Bald Bull, but I am almost 100% certain he was the inspiration behind the boxer Masked Muscle from Super Punch Out (SNES, not arcade). I mean, c'mon he even cheats the same way complete with the random headbutt and all.

Extra Ordinary. We have been waiting for you. Gentlemen, let the tournament begin. All voice clips from the villain in Enter the Dragon. Believe his name is Han in the movie.
What's interesting about _Arm Wrestling,_ is that, despite being made by Nintendo, it was never released in Japan, although I'm pretty sure Doc Louis still references it in the japanese version of the Wii game.
The music that plays when you get the $50,000 bag was originally an unused sound in Punch Out. Perhaps the game was planned to have similar bonus rounds?
Douglas Pantz Okay. So this is not, according to canon, Mac's father. I think he is the unrelated boxer from the arcade games. Little Mac was from the NES story with Doc Louis.
This arcade came out be before punch out but all the sounds, punches, the opening glove sound, the sound for knock downs. The sound when you get knocked down all are on the NES Punch-Out....and little mac was used in the arcade punch-out just like the arm wrestler
I think E. Honda participated in this event as well as Bald Bull, only instead of disguising himself with a mask, he simply just changed his name to Kubuki & expected the audience to believe he’s just another sumo with paint on his face. But we know it’s you Honda! & your the man, but you were much better fighting in the streets (street fighter)
This was one of 3 arcade games not made for VS system hardware to use the NES APU for sound, and the game barely uses it. At least Punch-Out!! and Donkey Kong 3 had several short musical cues

Interesting game though. Do you know what the arcade cabinet was like? Was it a button basher? Or you had to waggle the joystick or something? Or did it have an actual arm you wrestled with?
Sadly it was just your regular 8 ways stick and 2 buttons. Though there's another arm wrestling arcade game that has just that.
As I recall, the joystick had no buttons, but had a 5th switch on it that was activated when you pull the stick upwards. That was how the player was to pull off Bald Bull's mask.

Nice to see female nerds being represented in such an old game though……… and in a positive manner, too!!
He arm wrestled so many buff foes, and easily beat every single one, only to be crushed by a bag of cash.
This is actually pretty fun-looking, aside from the auditory clusterfuck. Also, Mac's surprised laugh at the ENORMOUS bag of cash is the best.
