I generally don&#8217;t buy the sports games not because I don&#8217;t like them (I love hockey games), but because they don&#8217;t really catch my eye as something original or overly impressive.

First off is Fight Night Round 2. Not only is SNES classic Super Punch-Out!! included in the game, but if you manage to finish it, you can play as Little Mac in the main game. He looks terribly scary when rendered in 3D, but I love Punch-Out!! so this is a game that I&#8217;m definitely buying, if only for that.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the GameCube version of NBA Street V3 is going to include Mario, Luigi and Peach as playable characters. They&#8217;re horribly misproportioned when compared to the regular players, but it&#8217;s a cool idea nonetheless, and warrants at least a rent. I&#8217;m quite excited to hear about what other stuff they&#8217;ve got up their sleeves, but I&#8217;m pretty sure this collaboration, along with Nintendo&#8217;s own licensed baseball game (as long as it&#8217;s good), is going to end up helping the GameCube get more into the sports genre, where it&#8217;s currently suffering pretty badly.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yes, and there&#8217;s a new Steve article up.
