A good boxing game with Don King on the box???

"Only in America!"

I'll come up with something better eventually...

It sounds better than Punch Out Wii as I'm expecting Nintendo's game to have poor motion controls, no online, and no balance board support. I guess we will know in a few months which game is better.

Punch-Out!! isn't a boxing simulator though, where as Don King is. In Punch-Out!! it is all about timing the predictable attacks of the computer. Honestly I would never have expected online, multiplayer, or balance board support for it.

I think they'll both be great games in their own regards.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

This score has been out for a while. I'm hoping to see some more reviews confirming how tight the gameplay is. The balance board support alone could tip it over Punch Out!! on my to-buy list, and I'm a fan of the arcade boxing classic.

I read a preview for this that also said it worked really well, as well as using the balance board for dodging / ducking. Plus it has full online and multiplayer making this, in my mind, the definitive boxing game for get for Wii.

Online??? Where did you read that from?

Yeah, I'm seeing no mention of online in 2K's PR. Not even a little blue logo on the boxart.

It has splitscreen local. I wonder if it can support two balance boards... Just wishful thinking here.

Ruh-roh. Looks like Ngamer gave Don King a 55:

I don't particularly trust either of these reviewers, so we'll have to see which one is the outlier (or maybe they both are).
