A few more Wii games just got a lot cheaper. Nintendo’s recently decided to start having a line of greatest hits Wii games. Ones that only cost $19.99, as opposed to the normal Nintendo pricing of $49.99. On May 15, 2011 we received our first round of Nintendo Selects Wii games, and now two months later on August 16, 2011, we’ve received the second batch…

Alright, you armchair pugilists. Fight Night Champion has a whole bunch of updates including a patch addressing gameplay and enough new boxers to make even Don King happy. The update and DLC went live March 29, 2011.

One of the main issues the patch deals with is punch accuracy, an important part of any boxing title. The punch accuracy is now toned down a bit and tracking accounts for the increased difficulty of trying to hit a moving target. Boxers will now show greater effect from being clocked with a punch while throwing a punch of their own. Online play suffered from a major glitch that would actually stop an opponent’s command inputs if a player executed a perfect block, and the patch addresses that problem as well. Other adjustments in this patch increase the damage from punches and award more damage for combinations of punches.

Both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live have received some big updates for boxing simulation Fight Night Round 4 in a new “Champions Pack.”

It adds Evander Holyfield, Sonny Liston and Bernard Hopkins as playable boxers and there are two new game modes: Old School Rules and Ring Rivalries. The content went live December 2009 but the Xbox 360 Champions Pack began freezing consoles immediately. EA Sports then pulled the pack until those issues were fixed.

If you downloaded the broken content, your Xbox Live account retains your purchase data and you won’t need to pay for it again.

Little Mac is back, only this time he has more depth and is not fighting Mike Tyson. I’m of course talking about the new Punch-Out game from Nintendo, for the Wii. As Little Mac, you have to box your way through four competitors, each ranging in difficulty. If you beat all three, you win the belt!

The game is very much like the other Punch-Out games for the NES, and SNES. In fact, it’s the same Little Mac but he has come a long way and is ready for more fightin’ action.

Only in America, fight fans. Only in America.

VideoGamer tells us 2K Sports will bring Don King Boxing to Nintendo’s Wii and DS systems March 27, 2009. 2K says the game will make heavy usage of the Wii balance board to mimic the real life motions of boxing. It isn’t necessary to play that way, however, as the game can be played without the balance board.

The company also says that the use of the balance board will give gamers a…

Although I have to applaud ezGear for making Wii accessories that bring more realism to the game, the company’s attempt to make boxing gloves for Wii Sports Boxing is not successful. I had a chance to try Wii Boxing Gloves first-hand (literally) and noticed major flaws in the product.

ezGear’s gloves are one-size-fits-all boxing style gloves with adjustable straps and special pouches for both the Wiimote and Nunchuk. The first flaw is the way the Wii controllers fit into the gloves. Even though the pockets are made for the Wiimote and Nunchuk, it is a…

Recording artists From First To Last (FFTL) will be featured in the upcoming boxing game Facebreaker. The game is still under development at EA Canada but when it’s released for the Playstation 3, XBox 360 and Wii systems, FFTL’s tracks will knock you out.

I spoke with Derek Bloom, drummer for FFTL, about the upcoming release of Facebreaker and he was excited about being featured on the game.

“We have three songs in that game. I’m not sure exactly which songs,” Bloom admitted. “As far as Facebreaker goes … I really don’t know much about the game other than it’s a boxing game. We’re pretty much into gaming. And it’s funny too, everyone is trying to be in their own class of games. Like our singer [Matt Good] is into World of Warcraft, guitarist [Travis Richter] who loves playing on the Wii and then I’m into first-person games. The first one I got into was…
