Post Don King's Prizefighter gets Balance Board training games (Joystiq)

Filed under: ,


When none other than Reggie announced that the Wii Fit Balance Board was being used in "over ten" games currently in development, we probably should have made the connection with Don King vanity project Prizefighter. Well, we didn't, but, luckily, the developers at Venom Games did, revealing in an interview with CVG that their game will include Balance Board-compatible training games designed by "top boxing trainers."

The interview doesn't go into many details, but it does mention a "jump rope game" which involves bouncing on the Balance Board with "the Wii Remote in your back pocket." Developing a joke asking whether that pocket Remote indicates we're "just happy to see you" is left as an exercise for the reader.

I'm just more interested in the '10 Balance Board games in development'. With that being mentioned and Wii Ski already one of my most wanted games coming in the future, I'm sold on WiiFit.

I'm sold on Wii Fit anyway, even without development for more games. If they happen to release more good games for the balance board that aren't simple non-games or gimmicks, then bonus.

I don't see anything about jumping on the balance board.
