Yeah, this is 2K Prize Fighters. During the Spike Awards, Don King came out to present, and he's accompanied by two ring girls holding Prize Fighter signs. He then rambles about something -- I seem to recall him saying "Starfish monkey pole liver daffodil? Hah! Mysterious swing pocket slaves!", but I had been drinking.

1UP may have a trailer or screens -- they showed nothing at the awards show.

Still no Lacrosse video game. Is the sport only popular in the NorthEast?

Not a Jellyfish · Dec 9, 2007

either a boxing or UFC game (something last night about dana having an announcement at the awards)

Didn't I say in my original post it was a boxing title? lol

I just thought they would show some footage but it seems they won't.

Bingo. The rest of the country has no idea the sport exists.

Didn't I already tell you months ago what it was? oh well

Bebpo · Dec 9, 2007

So it's boxing, but I agree with the snowboarding sentiment...wtf happened to snowboarding games?

Amped 3 came out...was kinda weak. SSX Wii was a re-hash. Where are the new snowboarding games? SSX4? Amped 4? Where?

pulga · Dec 9, 2007

Why are people still speculating since it was already posted on the first page it was a boxing game named Prize Fighters?

You guys think they'll make a Wii version? Seems crazy not to, someone needs to take advantage of the wii remote and nunchuck seperation and make a kick ass boxing game.

Website for the game is up...Found this on a whim.

That's an odd combination.

Wow, no PS3 version. That's interesting.

I can see the 360 and Wii.
But shafting the PS3 in favor of the DS? Now that's just weird.

Yeah it really is, essentially 3 different platforms there. It would make more sense to have 360/ps3, or the common (unfortunately) wii/ps2/psp combination

GSG Flash · Dec 10, 2007

I can somewhat understand the PS3, but I'm surprised the PS2 was left out. Hopefully that means better graphics for the Wii because it's not going to be a lazy PS2 port.

HyperZone<3 · Dec 10, 2007

Don King is a total slimebag, I'd be more hesitant to buy anything with his name on it.

Agreed. That's what I said to Big Zep when he sent me a link to the website on AIM.

Do not want anything with Don King involved.

Boxing since its inception has been filled with unscrupulous scoundrels. Don King is a chump compared to the real scum. Let's actually talk about the game eh?

PS3 am cry. Uh oh . . . Sony is in trouble if people are not even bothering to create ports of 360 games.

Ugh . . . I can't believe they took a license from Don King . . . crazy old murderer and crook.

Good point . . .

PS2 probably too old by the time the game releases.
PSP has too much piracy.
PS3 has too small of a installed base? I'm kinda surprised they don't just port the 360 version.
