NHL2K4...er, ESPN NHL Hockey Screens

It's Top Shelf Tuesday!

Now that Sega's shedded the 2K4 brand for its sports lineup, the publisher will likely be receiving more attention worldwide from gamers wary of the so-called "loser brand" of last year. In that spirit, Sega Sports unleashed a load of new shots today from the newly-retitled ESPN NHL Hockey, due to hit the PlayStation 2 and Xbox (and not GameCube?sorry) simultaneously on September 16.

Besides the usual graphic updates (check out the particle effects on the ice in some of these screens), Sega's newest hockey game has one very important addition?the voices of ESPN's NHL announcers. Gary Thorne and Bill Clement, one of the most well-known booth partnerships in the league, will be handling the commentary in the newest game, making things feel even more sports-networky than ever deemed possible before.

More info will be forthcoming very soon?Sega Sports plans to release more screenshots and info on a weekly basis leading up to the September release.
