I'm not sure they made it exactly. Definately their wrestling system.

 

AKI indeed developed WWF No Mercy on N64. The next game was WWE Wrestlemania 18 on GameCube which was developed by Yuke's, who were responsible for the Smackdown series.

 

AKI's American studio went on to develop the brilliant Def Jam Vendetta. :)

 

As of last month, AKI Corporation are now called syn Sophia, Inc., but the US division is still known as AKI USA, Inc.

Thought this was an EA BIG franchise?

 

No there was never a boxing franchise on the EA Sports Big label. There's NBA, NFL and FIFA Streets, SSX, Sled Storm, Shox and Freekstyle. But no boxing games.

 

Ready 2 Rumble was originally developed by Midway.

Amazon's Game page offers a few more new details on the game, including;

- Wii controllers for intuitive gameplay

- Dodge, weave and punch opponents

- Fictional characters, Over-the-top action, celebrity caricatures

A speculative release date of May 19th 2009 has also been offered, but only the Wii format has been given in the details. Could Atari be going toe-to-toe with Nintendo's Punch Out!! next year?
