After a break for E3, Loot Ninja’s Battle of Wits is back. This week, myself and Steve discuss the ramifications of the recent release of UFC 2009 Undisputed on the boxing genre. The fighting landscape has changed and MMA has taken over. Can boxing recover in the video game realm? We don’t think so.
Everyone’s favorite crazy haired boxing promoter is getting his own video game thanks to 2K Sports. The game, Don King Presents: Prizefighter, is coming to the Xbox 360, Wii, and DS in Spring 2008. No PS3 love?
“The combination of real-life fight scenarios, story-driven gameplay and photo-realistic graphics will set this title apart from the competition,” said Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K. “Our goal has always been to deliver the most engaging and realistic titles, and Don King Presents: Prizefighter will exceed these expectations. Based on the game’s innovative features and high-profile fighters, this title will be a ‘must have’ for any sports gamer.”
It’s going to be a real task to overtake the infamous Fight Night Round 3, which many consider to be the best boxing game ever. I guess we’ll see what happens in the Spring when this is released.
Coming Soon!
