Hey, remember 2K Sports'
Don King Presents Prizefighter? Kinda? The licensed boxing game was announced
last December for release
last spring, back before
Facebreaker bombed and
Punch-Out!! made other Wii boxing games irrelevant. Despite not hearing anything at all since
Balance Board functionality was revealed, the game has
not been cancelled.
Nintendo Everything posted some new screenshots from a
mysterious source, indicating that
work was being done. We found the screens' origin -- at an official site that had quietly appeared in December for the boxing game, now titled a
much less confusing
Don King Boxing. It looks -- okay. It's not going to divert anyone's funds away from
Punch-Out!!, that's for sure. It's automatically better than
Ready 2 Rumble in that it is devoid of Hasselhoff caricatures. And the vaunted Balance Board training, which is supposed to be a
real workout? Looks like the Rhythm Boxing game from
Wii Fit. According to
GameStop,
Don King Boxing is scheduled for a release on March 31, 2009. We'll see how that works out.
