Roses XX ready to rumble in Japan

TOKYO--Konami's debut Xbox 360 title, Rumble Roses XX, is set for its Japanese in-ring debut March 30, the company announced today. An American release date for the game hasn't been confirmed yet, but online retailer EBgames.com is listing a March 28 ship date for the game.

In an attempt to double the pleasure of the original game, Konami has added tag-team action to its all-female grappler. The game's story will be built around the team-based wrestling, and will also take into account each wrestler's attitudes towards her opponents as well as her partner. For instance, former foes paired together will hold a grudge, leading to some team dissent, while allies on better terms with each other are more likely to work as a well-oiled machine.
