Who's planning on getting the Wii Active game?

[dEnny!]

My wife and I saw it advertised tonight during The Biggest Loser and it looks good.

[Ryan Elliott]

I'm thinking about it, definitely.

[AndrewG]

Yep.

[LenNWallace]

My mom pre-ordered it for herself, so I'll try hers out then judge whether or not to get it for myself. My ass is looking more forward to Punch Out.

[Greenville 90210]

I've never heard of it...

[TV Zombie]

more info please :-)

My ass is looking forward more to not weighing 300 lbs. anymore.


Even though I've been told I don't look a pound over 250.

I Googled it and read the description on someone's page...


Software titans EA will engage in a new battle on May 19th. EA Active will be in direct competition with Nintendo’s Wii Fit in the realm of exercise games. Whereas Nintendo has done this before with the power pad, this will be EA’s first foray into exercise games. At a selling price of $60 instead of Wii’s $90, EA already has a huge advantage. If EA can figure out a way to accurately judge Body Fat %, then Wii Fit could have a real contender on its hands. The available pics don’t indicate any type of balance board that you stand on and features and specs are limted at the moment. Elastic power bands and nunchuk pockets are part of the set up and there are around 20 exercises and motivational challenges to start with, and probably more to download later. The nunchuk pocket holds the controller while you do leg exercises as it gauges your technique and repititions. Aimed at females, the virtual trainer resembles Oprah’s trainer Bob Greene. Sounds like the product is developing nicely. Should interestingly sweaty.

...and the bolded part got my attention.

This sounds interesting, but will dudes be allowed or will the game chop off my manhood? I should probably go dig up some vids of it...

No! Not my penis!


And my boobs don't need to get any bigger!

[LenNWallace]

It doesn't incorporate the balance board either? That's a shame...

[Ziolko]

My wife's getting it when it comes out. I'm hoping it will compliment my WiiFit workout.

[dEnny!]

I've never heard of it...

Me either before the commercial.

It doesn't appear to need to, but it seems silly not to utilize it and add that much more functionality to it.

I think it has more to do with the fact that the only thing us ladies love more than weight loss is chocolate. (And when you give us 100 calorie packs of chocolate cookies, we just lose our damn minds.)

But, I'll probably get it. I need a little more variety. The ol' Wii Fit is is losing its novelty. Gotta mix things up.

[Ziolko]

I saw it at Wal-Mart already, so I assume it's already out at some places. And it says it's balance board compatible on the box.
