Ready 2 Rumble Boxing is an arcade boxing game developed by Point of View and published by Midway for the Nintendo 64. Players pick from a roster of exaggerated caricature boxers, throwing jabs, hooks, and body blows while dodging and blocking. Landing hits and taunting fills the “Rumble” meter, which unlocks a devastating flurry of super punches. Modes include Arcade, Championship, and multiplayer.
