Ready 2 Rumble Revolution finally shows its face!

The famous boxing series materialises again for a third bout in the ring, this time for Wii. Ready 2 Rumble Revolution features 5 rings, 18 wild and cartoony caricatures of celebrities from sports, music and movies as playable boxers and Michael Buffer famous for his "Let's Get Ready to Rumble" war cry is still on board.

Players can create their own characters, customize them and develop their skills in mini games in the new Championship Mode. Controls are obviously handled with the Nunchuck and Wii Remote serving as left and right hands to "dodge, weave and throw the big punches to KO their opponents". From the press release, it appears that the game will not utilise the Wii Motion Plus peripheral.

AKI, responsible for WWF No Mercy on the Nintendo 64, are handling the game's development, with Stereo Mode producing and Atari taking care of the publishing side of things. Amazon has a tentative date set for May 19th 2009, but it's not official yet. We leave you with the 5 first screenshots of what promises to be a highly entertaining boxing experience.

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!
