It landed about 5 years into the NES's life. Other notable NES releases from 1990 include Final Fantasy III, Dr. Mario and Mega Man 3.
Natsume also made Shadow of the Ninja, Shatterhand and S.C.A.T.: Special Cybernetic Attack Team for the NES.
World Boxing is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
- you've played the NES hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you need current teams and rosters
- you are looking for something to play with friends
