Atari has announced Ready 2 Rumble Revolution will be available for the Wii in spring 2009.

This will mark the franchise’s debut on the Wii and, unsurprisingly, the game will make use of the Wii’s motion-control system.

Developed by AKI, Ready to Rumble Revolution features both single player and multiplayer modes. Players will throw punches using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk as virtual boxing gloves, fighting their way from the backstreet gym to the Las Vegas showdown.

The game features 18 “wildly caricatured cartoony” boxers, each one a parody of various sports, music and movie celebrities. It will be hosted by Michael Buffer, “The Voice of the Champions,” famous for belting out ‘Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!’

Atari promises “hilarious moves, detailed facial animations, damage textures and fighting moves including special moves, combos, extreme knockdowns and special Rumble combos.” Players will be able to create their own boxer in the new Championship mode, developing his skills through mini-games.

“Ready 2 Rumble Revolution is poised to take back the title as the undisputed champion of arcade boxing games and we hope to reach an even bigger audience than ever thanks to the huge popularity of Wii,” said Phil Harrison, President of Infogrames, the parent company of Atari.

“The outrageous celebrity caricatures paired with a fun boxing experience made even more over-the-top thanks to the Wii controllers will make the newest version of this famed franchise a must-have for all fans of boxing and physical fun on Wii.”
