Boxing Legends Share Spotlight in Fight Night Round 4
EA has announced today that for the next iteration of their Fight Night Franchise, Fight Night Round 4, Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson are going to be sharing the spotlight as dual coverboys. Tyson has this to say in regard to sharing the cover with Ali:
“I’m honored to be on the cover of Fight Night Round 4 with Ali. He was a special champ, and I have the highest respect for him as a person and a fighter,” said Tyson. “People always ask me if I think I would have beaten Ali if I had the chance to fight him when we were both in our prime. Now you can figure it out for yourselves. Fight Night puts you right in that ring and gives you the gloves to settle the score.”
The addition of Mike Tyson to Fight Night Round 4 fills a hole in videogame rosters that has existed for almost a decade. Users will finally be able to fight as ‘Iron Mike’, or fight against him as one of many other all time greats. Promising to revolutionize the fighting genre, Fight Night Round 4 features an all new physics based gameplay engine that brings the most authentic interpretation of the sweet science to the videogame world. The action inside the ring will be faster than ever, delivering a true representation of the sport’s incredible speed, accuracy, timing, and power. Fight Night Round 4 allows you to create dozens of legendary match ups, including Tyson vs. Ali, with unprecedented realism.
No release date has been set, but you can pre-order Fight Night Round 4 from Gamestop and get an exclusive demo.

hmmm i thought Mike Tyson could never be in a video game since some developer owned his likeness for Mike Tyson’s punchout on NES. Cool to see he’ll be in the game.

I want this game bad. I loved Round 3. It was one of the games I bought with my system.

FNR3 was one of my favs.

FNR3 was fun (without the online cheaters) and have been highly anticipating its’ sequel. Mike Tyson is probably just glad to be back on the scene, even if the scene is just a boxing game, and as much as I like Ali (aka Casisus Clay), I don’t even think he knows he’s in FNR4. I’ll buy this game, but I think I’ll wait until I can find it used for around $42. Thanks for the heads up.

This game looks so freaking amazing! FN just keeps getting better and better. That tat might be lame, but I wouldn’t talk shit to Tyson to his face, that’s for sure! lol. He was a monster in his prime, one of the best ever. Than he got all weird.
