Game Summary:
Final Blow is a boxing arcade video game released in 1988 by Taito. The name remained the same for all ported platforms, except for the Sega versions, which Sega released outside Japan as James ’Buster’ Douglas Knockout Boxing featuring American boxer James ”Buster” Douglas himself in 1990 immediately after his upset victory over Mike Tyson.
Description:
Players choose one of five boxers and compete against the remaining four to become champion. In addition to weak, medium, and strong punches, you can also use switch between low and high blow to take advantage of your opponent’s openings.
Step into the ring and face the most fearsome fighters in the world!
Plot:
The game follows a single season boxing championship run. There are five fictional fighters competing: Dynamite Joe - The Miracle Fighter, Fernando Gomez - The South American Eagle, Kim Nang - The Korean Comet, King Jason - The Black King, and The Detroit Kid - The Invincible Black Panther.
Gameplay:
Final Blow is a side-scrolling boxing game where the player moves left and right to control a screen sized boxer. When the timing is right, the player can unleash a final blow punch which can sometimes KO the opponent in a single strike.
The home versions contain a spectator mode where the player can watch their favorite boxers compete.
The Sega Genesis port adds two boxers: James ”Buster” Douglas (who uses The Detroit Kid’s graphics, slightly edited and palette swapped) and Ironhead. It was one of the games used as part of the Genesis Does Campaign, particularly since Nintendo used Mike Tyson for its Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! video game, whom Douglas had challenged and defeated that year.
Rerelease:
Final Blow was ported for home consoles as part of the Arcade Archives series by Hamster Corporation in November 2024, for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
