Great nostalgia! Sort of reminds me of the incessant photo flashes during the fight with Mike Tyson when he is about to punch you (speaking of which I never got to fight white Mike, I only beat the original).
If I recall correctly there are a ton of visual cues in punch-out.
I found Punch-Out and Contra to both be eventually easy games. There is very little randomness and luckily the controls are very good. I remember taking a bet in college of beating contra (w/o thirty lives) after not playing. Replaying was like riding a bike.
Compare this to the ridiculous difficulty of broken games like Top Gun or the worse game every made AD&D for NES (seriously check out how f@#$ awful that game is).
