It's not exactly Purple Rain, but I'll take what I can get, Darling Nikki, as these new screenshots from the Xbox 360 edition of NHL 2K10 seem to be The Beautiful Ones.

Visual Concepts' annual hockey title is due out on PS2, PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii around When Doves Cry, or September 15--the same day that EA Canada's rival effort NHL 10 arrives on PS3 and Xbox 360. There's probably something to be said about listening to "Let's Go Crazy" and "Take Me with U," but that'd be taking these Prince jokes too far.
