A curious posting on Amazon.com lists a new Wii title named Ready to Rumble, which may mean Midway's once-proud Ready 2 Rumble franchise is being resurrected.
Allegedly being published by Atari, the game will boast an all-new roster of fighters as well as Wii Remote functionality. The game is listed on Amazon as having a May 19, 2009 ship date.
While "Ready to Rumble" doesn't quite match up with how we've come to know the Ready 2 Rumble franchise, the indication on the Amazon web site that there will be an "all-new roster" (does this mean no more of series face Afro Thunder?) and that the game will be "better, stronger, [and] funnier" backs up any guesses that this is a reboot of the boxing series. Of course, Atari has yet to confirm or deny the existence of the game, so at this point we'll have to consider this rumor until we hear otherwise.
