Break out your NES emulators or expensive flashcarts: Morphcat has released a demo for a homebrew NES platformer called Super Bat Puncher, and as you'll see in the full playthrough video above, this 8-bit title is off the chain.

Super Bat Puncher features a cute hero with a spring-loaded boxing glove, a very awesome soundtrack by Dave Harris, and of course lots of bat punching. As you explore the stages, you'll pick up upgrades for your boxing glove to help with the puzzle platforming.

Download Super Bat Puncher for free right here. If you have a friend over, don't forget to try the two-player mode!
