The Weekly Brainiac Idea - February 22, 2006

I saw a commercial last night for EA Sports' Fight Night Round 3 and thought, why hasn't Mike Tyson's Punchout been updated?

Think of the possibilities, you could fight as Little Mac and make your way through the bevy of fighters listed in the original, such as Glass Joe, King Hippo and Soda Popinski. Ultimately, you could face off with "Iron Mike" himself. Of course, you have to survive the ear biting.

You could also play in "career" mode and go through the training, pre-fight press conferences, paternity tests and obligatory rape trial.

Junior, get me Mike Tyson's agent on the horn.
