Ready 2 Rumble Boxing for Nintendo 64

More of a tournament fighter than a boxing sim, Midway's pugilistic Pak bars no punches. From the moment Ready 2 Rumble Boxing's raucous theme song kicks in, it's clear that Midway has decided to take a light-hearted approach to the sweet science. Unlike EA Sports' Knockout Kings 2000, which offers real boxers in simulation-style action, Ready 2 Rumble features flashy fighters with in-your-face attitudes and pure arcade-style gameplay. Midway forked over big-time greenbacks just to use the words Ready 2 Rumble, and they even included an animated Michael Buffer, the Voice of Champions, to belt out his famous "LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE®!" battle cry before every match (and we thought Mike was just being paranoid when he trademarked his nickname).
