Studio Gigante was a Chicago-based video game developer established in 2000 by John Tobias, Dave Michicich, and Joshua Tsui, several developers of Midway's popular Mortal Kombat fighting game series.[1] Its name is a play on the name of the television series Sábado Gigante. The company only released two games, both exclusive to the original Xbox. Its first release was Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus, which debuted in 2003 to mixed reviews. The company's sophomore effort, 2005's WWE WrestleMania 21 was critically panned. Other games included a Kill Bill prototype where players could play as the main character. Nevertheless, the game was never finished since they closed down before finding a potential publisher.[2] The studio folded in 2005 shortly after the game's release.
