They game that launched a thousand Dreamcasts only to completely fall off the map around 2002 is making a comeback, thanks to 10tacle studios, who have just announced that they have procured the Ready 2 Rumble license. 10tacle has tagged former Def Jam developer AKI Corporation to develop the first game in the series, which will be seeing a release across "various videogame platforms."
I didn't realize how much I missed this series until seeing this press release. The game was completely overshadowed by EA's Fight Night, which of course took a much more realistic turn on the boxing genre. I find it much more pleasing beating up cartoony characters for some reason. Let's hope they get the game going soon, because now would be the perfect time to bring back the "The First Lady" from the second game for another couple of rounds.
10TACLE STUDIOS gets "Ready 2 Rumble"
New game to be realized for various videogame platforms
Darmstadt (Germany) / Singapore, 2nd March 2007 - With the third iteration of the arcade style satirical boxing game "Ready 2 Rumble" 10TACLE STUDIOS AG supplements their product portfolio with yet another popular international brand. With sales of almost three million copies worldwide the two predecessors are among the most successful games in the boxing genre. Singapore subsidiary 10TACLE STUDIOS Pte Ltd. will be realising the new title together with licensor, The Buffer Partnership and executive producer Stereo Mode. The new version of "Ready 2 Rumble" is to be released for various videogame platforms. The Japanese experts from AKI Corporation, who have established themselves as one of the leading game development studios within the genre, with hits such as "Def Jam" and "WWF Wrestlemania", have been entrusted with the first development.
10TACLE STUDIOS AG anticipates a turnover through distribution of the game of more than 20 million US dollars by 2010.
10TACLE STUDIOS AG CEO Michele Pes explains: "With the release of "Ready 2 Rumble" 10TACLE STUDIOS AG is focusing on one of the major game brands in the market. The family-friendly, humorous realisation of the boxing sport is unique and an ideal supplement to our product portfolio."
"We are very pleased to have experienced development partners like AKI Corporation and the producing team of Stereo Mode on board for the realisation of this project. At the same time, this project underlines the strategic position of 10TACLE STUDIOS Pte Ltd. in the Asian games market as a full-service provider for development, production, funding and distribution," adds Aroon Tan, CEO of 10TACLE STUDIOS Pte. Ltd.
For many years, Michael Buffer, the most famous boxing ring announcer in history, has opened the biggest international boxing events with the phrase "Let's Get Ready to Rumble®". Moreover, "Ready 2 Rumble" stands now for one of the most popular brands in boxing games. In this game, caricatures of numerous celebrities take it to the ring, where they have to prove their fighting spirit in battles of epically hilarious proportions. Excellent animation, action-packed moves and ironic commentary have already made the predecessors top-sellers and provided enduring gaming fun.
