During this time, Tyson came to the attention of gaming company [[Nintendo]]. After witnessing one of Tyson's fights, Nintendo of America president [[Minoru Arakawa]] was impressed by the fighter's "power and skill", prompting him to suggest Tyson be included in the upcoming [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] port of the ''[[Punch-Out!! (arcade game)|Punch-Out!!]]'' arcade game. In 1987, Nintendo released ''[[Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!]]'', which was well received and sold more than a million copies.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.n-sider.com/contentview.php?contentid=221| title=Profile: Minoru Arakawa| publisher=N-Sider| access-date=October 11, 2011| archive-date=June 11, 2011| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110611040601/http://www.n-sider.com/contentview.php?contentid=221| url-status=live}}</ref> It has retrospectively been considered one of the [[List of video games considered the best|greatest games of all-time]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=We rank the 100 greatest videogames |url=https://ew.com/article/2003/05/13/we-rank-100-greatest-videogames/ |access-date=2024-11-18 |website=EW.com |language=en}}</ref>

Tyson had three fights in 1988. He faced [[Larry Holmes]] on January 22, 1988, and defeated the legendary former champion by KO in the fourth round.<ref>Berger, Phil (1988), "Tyson Keeps Title With 3 Knockdowns in Fourth", ''[[The New York Times]], Sports Desk, Late City Final Edition, Section 1, Page 47, Column 5'', January 23, 1988.</ref> This was the only knockout loss Holmes had in 75 professional bouts.

In March, Tyson then fought contender [[Tony Tubbs]] in Tokyo, Japan, fitting in an easy second-round TKO victory amid promotional and marketing work.<ref>Shapiro, Michael.
