Prizefighter Wii still alive, "totally different" to 360 build


Earlier on this month, 2K Sports delayed (without explanation thus far) Don King Presents: Prizefighter for the Nintendo Wii. Originally planned for release next month, the Balance Board-supported title has now been pushed back until March 2009.

Such a long delay led many to believe that the Nintendo Wii build was destined for the trash can (particularly as the Xbox 360 version wasn't received brilliantly), but a 2K Sports message board admin has now confirmed that it is still in the works, albeit with a different publisher or developer (it isn't too clear which) at the helm:

"There are still plans for the release of the Nintendo Wii version which is being made by a different publisher, and more news on that game is forthcoming," explained forum head honcho Ronnie James. In a later post, he adds, "Actually, it is a different developer... the Wii version looks totally different so we'll see how it goes."

Don King Presents: Prizefighter, 2K promises, uses the Wii Balance Board to provide an exhausting boxer's workout. As soon as we hear anything further about its development, we'll let you know.
