Ready 2 Rumble Boxing?

So many fond memories bound up in old Midway arcade cabinets and Dreamcast launch titles....
Mortal Kombat went to Warner Bros. I think EA bought all the Midway sports brands and might revive them if Jam does well (they've got all the licenses anyway). Lsat year Hydro Thunder got a spiritual successor in the form of H2Overdrive (in arcades) from RawThrills, a studio made up of ex-Midway employees who worked on Hydro Thunder, Cruisn' USA and a bunch of other classics. Its a straight up sequel and fun as hell.
