<p>It&#8217;s a busy week for <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/nintendo-switch/">Nintendo Switch</a> owners. In addition to all the <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-switch-eshop-launches-19-new-games-plus-x/1100-6457792/">titles that released on the Eshop yesterday</a>, a few more games arrive on the digital storefront today, March 30, most notably the original arcade version of Nintendo&#8217;s classic boxing game <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/punch-out/">Punch-Out</a>.</p>
<p>Arcade Archives: Punch-Out is available to download now in all regions on Nintendo Switch. Originally released in arcades in 1984, the game is largely similar to the more well-known NES version, although it also boasts some notable differences. On top of its much richer visuals, it pits players against several fighters&#8211;like the creatively named Pizza Pasta&#8211;who would not appear in any other Punch-Out game.</p>
<p>The original arcade version of Punch-Out was also notable for its unique cabinet, which featured a two-screen setup like that of the 3DS. The top screen displayed the player&#8217;s stats, while the game played out on the bottom screen. The Switch version retains this dual-screen display and gives players the option to display them either side-by-side or vertically.</p>

<p>Like all other Arcade Archives games, Punch-Out can be downloaded for $8 / £6.29. You can purchase it directly from Nintendo&#8217;s <a href="https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/arcade-archives-punch-out-switch" rel="nofollow">website</a>. It arrives in the Eshop alongside a handful of other games today, including <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/toki-tori/">Toki Tori</a>, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/shadow-bug/">Shadow Bug</a>, and more. You can find the <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-switch-eshop-launches-19-new-games-plus-f/1100-6457792/">full list of this week&#8217;s Switch releases here</a>.</p>
<p>Punch-Out is the third classic Nintendo arcade game to come to Switch so far; December saw the arrival of Vs. Super Mario Bros., the arcade version of the iconic NES game featuring some remixed levels and elements taken from its then in-development sequel, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/super-mario-bros-the-lost-levels/">The Lost Levels</a>. That followed the original arcade version of <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/mario-bros/">Mario Bros.</a> Other arcade games, like Balloon Fight and Ice Climber, are also on the way in the future.</p>
