Ready 2 Rumble 2 Return on multiple platforms
Though esteemed game designers fight to deny it, a great deal of modern games are built upon the solid foundation of human beings punching each other in the face. Swords, guns, and uncharacteristically aggressive dolphins are occasionally added to the mix, but handheld weapons simply pale in comparison to the might and satisfaction imparted by unassisted knuckles hurtling into an opponent's surprised jaw. Upholding this fine tradition is 10Tacle Studios, which today announced a third game in the Ready 2 Rumble boxing franchise. Further details are practically non-existent, save for the fact that it will be appearing on "various videogame platforms." The Ready 2 Rumble series, which first stepped into the ring during 1999's Dreamcast daze, was adored for its amusing characters, over-the-top boxing action and, as mentioned earlier, its entertaining depiction of people punching each other. In the face.
The game will be developed in conjunction with AKI Corporation, the Japanese group responsible for several entries in the Def Jam and WWF Wrestlemania franchises.

It's good to hear AKI is still in business. They make fantastic games.

Well, Aki can do no wrong in my eyes (DJ:FFNY was one of the best games of the past generation, and the No Mercy / VPW2 games held the same status on the N64), so a solid YAY from this corner.

Yay. A sequel to a horrible game filled with racist stereotypes!

Cliche 182: All characters are sterotypical and heavily exaggerated. If the game/character is somewhat based on reality, expect real-life sterotypes. No one (or at least, no one that is important) is a plain normal person.

Awesomeness. I played the shit out of those games. In my opinion the franchise is the spirtual successor to the Punch Out franchise with ridiculous characters and crazy punches.

anyone else find it ironic that a game called "ready 2 rumble" is going to the PS3, which is the only console NOT equipped to rumble at all?
