Mike Tyson had no idea a new Punch Out game was being made photo

Mike Tyson was once quoted as saying "I'm not as deep or complicated as some people seem to think." I'm glad the man cleared that up, because for years before that I was really befuddled by what I could only conceive of as his unfathomable levels of epic genius. Of course, once I saw Mike Tyson's Brunch Out!!, I felt I finally truly understood the man as he was meant to be understood. Thank you, Channel Frederator.

Anyway, MTV Movies recently chatted with Tyson, and the topic of the upcoming Punch-Out!! game for Wii came up, along with what Tyson likes to play when he games. Tyson looked pretty confused when the Wii game came up, but he says when he did play the original Punch-Out!, he played once and "got slaughtered." How's it feel to get punched in the face by yourself, Mike?

When asked about games he likes to play, Tyson says he likes "games with PLOTS" such as Resident Evil 5 and Gods of War. No, I didn't typo there -- he said GODS of War. Mike Tyson rules. Go check out the full video here.

I'm afraid to say anything bad about Mike Tyson, for fear of getting raped big time.

His defense is now pregnable, his style is now petuous. To think he's a motivational speaker now... what a world we live in.

Mike Tyson sounds like a 10 year old, but I respect him because he could bite both of my ears off...at the same time

It was interesting to say the least watching his career. I loved watching him box when I was younger, he'd destroy people. Then as time went on like a few celebrities he can't handle the fame and I think you know how it turned out for him. But I agree with mozgus he is a marvel to behold, I'd love to speak to him sometime but I'd be afraid I'd say something to piss him off and I'd wake up in a hospital a year later.

Punch Out is all the better for his absence. What a nut bar.

Punch Out is all the better for his absence. I mean, the game's weird enough without incorporating ear biting and the devouring of children. What a nut bar.

I miss Mike Tyson. Doesn't VH-1 have an empty time slot available? When I was 8 or 9 I thought that the man was awesome incarnate. I imagine that it had more to do with him being in my favorite video game than anything else. But the man sure could give an interview.

@Captain K,
So, in your opinion, "nut bar" and "www.schocholautte.com"?

When Mike Tyson plays any normal game it is God of War because it has Mike Tyson in it.

WOW ! That felt like an interview with Kratos himself (tattoo and all), no wonder he thinks it 'Gods of war' if he counts himself as one in the plot of things...

Guys, don't worry about getting beat up by Tyson. He telegraphs all of his moves by winking before throwing a punch.
