First screenshots, updated box art for NHL 2K10 photo

I guess 2K Sports just remembered that their NBA 2K franchise isn't the only one that's celebrating its tenth anniversary, because they sent us some updated box art for NHL 2K10. As you can see in the gallery, the cover now features a gold "1999-2009 Tenth Anniversary" banner, just like the Anniversary Edition of NBA 2K10. The shot of a toothless Alexander Ovechkin remains intact, though.

We've also got the first screenshots of NHL 2K10 -- there are eleven of the PS3/360 version and six of the Wii version. They're looking pretty good! And remember, if you're looking for a hockey game on the Wii, NHL 2K10 is your only option; EA Sports is only making NHL 10 for the PS3 and 360.

This year's version of NHL 2K seems to be adding a lot of the same things that EA Canada is adding to NHL 10, like fake shots and being able to shoot from your knees. For all the details on the HD and Wii versions of the game, hit up IGN's feature blowout.

Please. I'm no EA fan, but 2K needs to just bow out of the video game hockey scene. It's all about NHL 09/10.

The Wii version of 2K9 was a total mess. Hopefully they can get it together this year and not make it such an abortion of a game.

NHL 09 and 10 have nothing on a 2k Sports hockey game I can't wait to see if this one has that revolutionary mode drive the zamboni machine around, who needs that 6 on 6 online play when you can clean that ice like a professional.

The only time I was into 2K's NHL series was when they were still a part of Sega and EA refused to develop for the Dreamcast. But pre- and post- Dreamcast, Electronic Arts has had my heart.

Yikes; I haven't played any iterations of NHL 2K (outside of demos) since the Gamecube. The poor graphics in those screenshots (not to mention the horrible positioning of goalies in the few shots) assures that this won't be the year I throw money at the series again. Nevermind the "me-too!" game of catch-up they're playing with EA anyway.
