Funky funk legend Bootsy Collins (P-Funk, James Brown, Deee-Lite) recently produced an exclusive, original theme song for 2K Sports’ Don King Presents: Prizefighter, due in stores June 10.

Over 70 songs appear on the soundtrack, either in their entirety or in shortened ring walk versions, from Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” to Run-D.M.C.’s “It’s Tricky,” James Brown’s “Turn Me Loose, I’m Doctor Feelgood” to Parliament’s “Give Up the Funk.”

“Doing the game track was very exciting,” Collins tells billboard.com. “It’s for Don King, a hero of mine from way back, so I took it very personal when asked to get involved. I felt musically and vocally that this song would place you right in the middle of the game, in a front row seat. I told Mr. King, ‘We gonna punch um! Just to make their hair stand straight. Then punch um again, to see the look on their face!’”

Don King Presents: Prizefighter will be available for Xbox 360, and later this year on the Wii and Nintendo DS systems.

It looks like Square Enix has deigned to release two more of Taito’s DS games! Either that or another publisher noticed how awesome Taito’s DS lineup is and decided to take a piece. Gamefly’s “Coming Soon” list now lists both Exit DS and The Legend of Kage 2 for release on September 30. What an excellent day that will be for people who like to play games about running from the left to the right.

We couldn’t be more thrilled, unless this were a 100% official confirmation that we could be sure wouldn’t turn out to be a crushing disappointment. We really want to play Kage 2, and we want to help boost the Taito U.S. guy’s self-esteem.
