Wii gets Ready 2 Rumble

Midway seems to have nothing but love for Wii, lately -- the rumors about their games for Nintendo just keep rolling in. Thanks to the translators (read: people who dig on Babelfish) at Nintendo Wii News, we've learned that Midway wants to bring the boxing game to Wii for a little motion sensor-pounding action. From Jeux France:

According to our information, Ready 2 Rumble 3 would be under development exclusively on Wii for the account of a large American editor. Very inspired by the capacities of the console, the developers should be useful of both pads (Nunchaku and remote control) for mimer of the virtual fists.

Once we stopped laughing at "mimer of the fists," we realized this game could give us a really good excuse for accidentally punching friends in the face. Does that come in a preorder?

Awesome! A Wii boxing game would be a blast...

I hope it's better than Ready 2 Rumble Round 2.

I was honestly hoping for Punch-Out!!! Wii to come and Nintendo to revive one of their best franchises. Hopefully this will inspire them to make it.

Glad there's going to be an easy to control boxing game on Wii, however I wish they'd make a sequel to Punchout. Heck, a remake of the original with Wiimote support would be pretty sweet.
