Ready 2 Rumble is a series of cartoony arcade boxing games released in 1999, starting with Ready 2 Rumble Boxing in 1999. Developed by the now defunct Point of View Inc. (except for Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution, which was developed by AKI Corporation USA) and published by Midway, the game was incredibly popular for the Sega Dreamcast console, even though it wasn't an exclusive.The game was notorious for its "Rumble Meter" system, which, when taunting your opponent (only in the second game; taunting in the first game did nothing) or landing a heavy hit, gave you letters to let you initiate a Super Mode for the boxer of your choosing. It also featured famous ring announcer Michael Buffer to introduce the characters and say his well-known phrase "Let's get ready to rumble!" Finally, it had an in-depth Championship Mode in which you trained your boxer, competed in prize fights, and eventually earned your title.A sequel, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2, was released in 2000. It was then followed years later with a series reboot named Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution released in 2009, which removed all of the original characters and replaced them with celebrity parodies.Has a character sheet under construction.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: The third game in a nutshell. While the first two had many expies, as shown above, they weren't as overtly blatant (save for Rumbleman).

The Cameo: Round 2 features several celebrity boxers, including Bill and Hillary Clinton (referred to in-game as Mr. President and the First Lady, respectively) as well as Shaquille O'Neal and Michael Jackson. Afro Thunder later appeared as a secret character in TNA Impact, which was also developed by Midway before the company closed its doors for good.

Spiritual Successor: EA Sports' Facebreaker, which came out two years after the third game. The Rumble series itself was a 3D one to Punch-Out!!, which was ironically revived the same year Revolution came out. The series was also one of many sports games developed and/or released by Midway using the "fast-paced gameplay, loose adherence to the rules" style of NBA Jam.

Older Than They Look
 Ready 2 Rumble Boxing (Video Game) / int_2f36d97
comment
Older Than They Look: "Big" Willy Johnson looks roughly middle-aged, but is actually 108 years old (or so the Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast versions says; the Playstation version gives him an age of 38). This was retconned in Round 2, as his age is billed as 41 in that game. His age in the first game was probably a joke on the fact that his boxing style is that from early 20th century (the manual even states he wound up in the present through a space-time rift).

Vocal Dissonance: Michael Jackson, surprisingly. Many think Midway used a soundalike, but according to the head director of the game, that's his actual voice you're hearing when he speaks. Due to contractual issues, however, he's not credited as a voice actor.

Ring Out: Activating your Rumble meter at its highest level will allow you to uppercut your opponent clean out of the ring, giving you an automatic K.O. victory. Shown Their Work: In real life boxing, leaving the ring for any reason is an automatic DQ. Midway took this rule and turned it into an automatic knockout if you hit your opponent with a full Rumble meter.

Casualty in the Ring: Between games, Bruce Blade from the first game was killed in a match with Butcher Brown, after taking a full hit from Brown's trademark Devastator punch. This got Brown banned from boxing for two years prior to his appearance in the second game.

This was retconned in Round 2, as his age is billed as 41 in that game. His age in the first game was probably a joke on the fact that his boxing style is that from early 20th century (the manual even states he wound up in the present through a space-time rift).

Mirror Match: The first game always used its full roster in the arcade and championship modes, so this would always happen at some point. With the exception of the GBA version, Round 2 has a bigger roster, and it's very rare to encounter the same character you're playing as.

Holiday Mode: The Dreamcast and PS2 versions of Round 2 had holiday-themed decorations accessible via cheat codes, and some characters also gained holiday-themed costumes if the internal clock is set to a certain date. These came in all flavors: New Year's, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's, Easternote April 23, which was the day Easter fell in in 2000, Independence, Halloween, Thanksgivingnote The only one not to have any costumes associated, so there's no clock cheat for it and Christmas.

Writers Cannot Do Math: Round 2 takes place three years after the original game, yet some of the returning characters are either aged up double that, or, as mentioned above, their original ages were retconned. Michael Jackson was a strange example, as the Nintendo 64 version of the game bills him at 25 years old (he was actually 42 at the timenote 25 was the age he was at the release of Thriller), while the other ports did not bill his age at all.

comment
Expy: In no particular order: Butcher Brown's looks and personality has a lot of similarities to Mike Tyson's. Tank Thrasher is an unflattering version of David "Tank" Abbott, right down to dominating an unrespected, backwards sport (Abbott - street fighting, Thrasher - gator wrestling) and switching to a somewhat less unrespected sport (Abbott - MMA, Thrasher - boxing). Likewise, G.C. Thunder is an overly flamboyant version of Prince (the actual Prince was supposedly offered to be included in the game as a rival to Michael Jackson, but he declined). Afro Thunder sounds nearly identical to comedian Chris Rock, and also has a passing resemblance to him as well. In an In-Universe example, Big Wallop in Revolution is an expy of Afro Thunder, though his Soul Brotha traits are toned down. J.R. Flurry's personality as well as his love for "urban" styled clothing and Totally Radical slang, is a near dead ringer for Vanilla Ice during his prime. Robox Rese-4 is pretty much a boxing version of The Terminator. Bruce Lee Clone: Jet "Iron" Chin. Ironically, while he's a Bruce Lee clone in terms of appearance and making Funny Bruce Lee Noises, his backstory of being a former stunt double for a famous Asian movie star makes him a Jackie Chan Expy. Rumbleman is an obvious parody of the Hulk. Nat Daddy was a Captain Ersatz version of Shaquille O'Neal (Nat Daddy = Shaq Daddy). When the real Shaq was slated to appear in Round 2, Nat's model was redesigned to properly match Shaq's body, and his move set was given to Shaq. Freak E. Deke is a clone of Kemo Claw from the first game, right down to the unintelligible grunts and moveset. Gino Stiletto is a parody of Rocky. They even share the same hometown (Philadelphia, PA). Funnily enough, though, his arms look just like Popeye's.
