A BLOG-O-RAMA COMMENTARY

If you have any interest at all in Atari's Ready To Rumble Revolution, you have probably seen the boxing glove above on other web sites promising you that if they win the promo that the sponsor is having, they will give you the Wii that they will win. What they don't tell you is that they (the blog site owner) will also receive a flat screen tv and a sound system as well. That is their real incentive. Also, I am wondering how anyone is supposed to know if they really won and will spend money to ship you the Wii. My guess is that no one will ever receive the prize they are mentioning and those blogs will not admit to winning. That is why I have been honest about the contest since the first post. I certainly would like to win the contest but am not going to hang an artificial carrot in front of you. What I do offer is the latest and best content about Ready To Rumble Revolution and I can only hope that you also take the time to click on the boxing glove while you are visiting here.

Here now, are some of the latest videos released for one of the best games that was ever released on the old Dreamcast system, and which is soon to be released in a fantastic new version for the Nintendo Wii.

First, have a look at The Impersonator:



And next we have The Sweet King:



This video is called Get Up!


And finally, for today, here is Red Vs. Dewey


Ready 2 Rumble Revolution is heading exclusively to the Nintendo Wii with the same irreverent take on boxing that you'd expect from the series. Check out the rest of the posts on the blog-o-rama and get even more info by clicking on the great big boxing glove at the top of this post.

Ready To Rumble Revolution: Latest Update With Character Profiles And New Video!

Click on the boxing glove and prepare to get punched with an info overload!

The hilarious Ready 2 Rumble franchise flexes its muscles for its major, star-studded return to the ring. Bringing the franchise to Wii for the first time, the game retains all the knockout features of best-sellers Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 1 and Round 2, while delivering a knockout punch of style and attitude. Tailored to take advantage of the motion-controlled realism of Wii, Ready 2 Rumble Revolution makes landing a punch more fun than ever. Virtual heavyweights can fight from the backstreet gym all the way to the big Las Vegas showdown with vivid new visuals bringing the five spectacular ring environments to life. The arcade experience is made even better thanks to advanced Artificial Intelligence allowing more strategic fights.

 

Before Electronic Arts brought boxing to brutal life in Fight Night Round 3, cartoonishly arcade-style boxing games were all the rage. While Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! is a classic example of this type of game, it was Ready 2 Rumble that changed the rules in 1999, bringing an extra dimension to the genre that allowed players to circle their opponents, sticking and moving their way to victory. Now, the over-the-top characters and moves that made the game a hit on the Dreamcast are coming to the Wii with Ready To Rumble Revolution.
While we're all for fun boxing action, games like these are only as good as their characters, so we figured now would be a good time to start taking a look at the new game's fighters. We don't know if Afro Thunder or Boris The Bear will be in the game, but it looks like these new guys will pack quite a punch.
The Impersonator
Height: 6'1
Weight: 165 lbs
Reach: 75 inches
Chest/Normal: 44 inches
Chest/Expanded: 48 inches
Waist: 33 inches
Biceps: 16 inches
Neck: 18 inches
Wrist: 7.5 inches
Fist: 13 inches
As you might be able to tell from the video, The Impersonator has made a career of pretending to be a certain famous singer who died on a toilet. He brings his kingly moves into the ring, taunting his foes with The Hip Thruster or The Shimmy before finishing them off with The Elvis Air Guitar, in which he "brings the rock to the rumble". Don't be cruel, Impersonator!

 

Dragon Chew
Height: 5'8
Weight: 140 lbs
Reach: 73 inches
Chest/Normal: 42 inches
Chest/Expanded: 45 inches
Waist: 33 inches
Biceps: 13 inches
Neck: 17 inches
Wrist: 6.5 inches
Fist: 12.5 inches
Like Fei Long and Liu Kang before him, Dragon Chew is a Bruce Lee clone, although we don't remember the lithe Jeet Kune Do creator sporting a massive dragon tattoo on his arm. Still, Chew borrows some of his taunts from the master, including The Mocking Mantis Keep Your Nose Clean, in which he wipes his nose with the back of his glove (don't worry, it's much cooler than it sounds). Once he's got his opponents where he wants them, he'll unleash Dragon Thunder Storm on them, battering them with a barrage of kung-fu fury.
We hope you enjoyed this early look at two of the new characters in Ready to Rumble Revolution. We'll be bringing you more info soon.

The hilarious Ready 2 Rumble franchise flexes its muscles for its major, star-studded return to the ring. Bringing the franchise to Wii for the first time, the game retains all the knockout features of best-sellers Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Round 1 and Round 2, while delivering a knockout punch of style and attitude.

General Features
A roster of 18 wildly caricatured cartoony boxers, all parodies of celebrities from the worlds of sports, music and movies who enter the ring as larger-than-life "Rumble-ized" versions of themselves. Players will step right up and see if they can knock these super-sized egos down a peg or two!
Hosted by "The Voice of the Champions" Michael Buffer, famous for his "Let's Get Ready to Rumble" trademark call.
Characters are brought to life with hilarious moves, detailed facial animations, damage textures and fighting techniques including special moves, combos, extreme knockdowns and special "Rumble" combos.
An all new Championship Mode lets gamers create their own unique boxer and nurture his skills through mini-games, developing him as a fighter and creating a completely personalized Ready 2 Rumble Revolution experience.
Delivers a fun and intuitive experience in either single player or multiplayer mode.
The Wii controllers provide would-be pugilists with an intuitive and realistic feel. Using the Nunchuk controller as one glove and the Wii Remote controller as the other, players dodge, weave and throw the big punches to KO their opponents.




According to Craig Harris at IGN.Com, who got to preview the game:

Ready 2 Rumble Revolution runs at a very smooth 60 frames per second – which is good considering the original Dreamcast version did the same several years prior. The visuals are a considerable step up from the original game while offering the same exaggerated "caricature" style for the different boxers in this fighter. Michael Buffer makes an appearance as the game's announcer, but the character designers kept him conservatively "real" instead of making him over-the-top cartoony. Characters who take a pummeling will show the appropriate damage with bruising and swelling on the face as the fight progresses. Fighters can also change their look during the bout: watch the Elvis impersonator's toupee fly off in a flurry of punches, for example.

You can find "Ready To Rumble Revolution" for Wii in your favorite video game store on March 16th. You can also preorder it at Amazon.Com. Just follow this link:

The Great Buck Howard: Watch The Trailer

Member of the Boxxet Network of Blogs, Videos and Photos


Once upon a time, Buck Howard spent his days in the limelight. His mind-boggling feats as a mentalist extraordinaire - not to be confused with those of a mere magician - earned him a marquee act in Vegas and 61 appearances on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. In his own humble opinion, his talents go far beyond simple sleight of hand - he can read minds and hypnotize not just a single soul but an entire room of people! But nowadays, it's clear to everyone but Buck that his act has lost its luster; he performs in faded community centers and hasn't sold out a theater in years. Yet, with a hearty handshake and a trademark "I love this town!"

Buck Howard perseveres, confident in his own celebrity, convinced his comeback is imminent. He just needs a new road manager and personal assistant. As it turns out, recent law school drop-out and unemployed, would-be writer Troy Gable needs a job and a purpose. Working for the pompous, has-been mentalist fills the former requirement, but how it satisfies the latter is questionable, especially to his father, who still assumes Troy is in law school. Nonetheless, with the aid of a fiery publicist and a bold stroke of fate, Buck surprisingly lands back into the American consciousness, taking Troy along for the ride of his life. As the coveted spotlight again shines on the great Buck Howard, Buck becomes the unlikeliest of teachers as Troy learns a few tricks he couldn't possibly have picked up in law school.
