Don King's Prizefighter gets Balance Board training games

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.

That seems like a sure-fire way to make sure you break your Balance Board...

In before Nintendo fans claim that the balance board will make you a better boxer.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
They're trying WAY too hard.

I hope this game has a demo on 360. I just want to get a small taste of Don King's fantabulistic verbulosity in a gaming environment. Will his hair actually fit on screen?

Yes, his hair will fit on screen. In fact, as a way to compensate for lack of a balance board, PS3 and 360 users will be able to buy magical cables that display said hair in glorious 2160p. Take that, Nintendo!

Are they suggesting that you can actually jump on the WiiFit? Or do you just sort of bob up and down on your toes? It seems like jumping would create many opportunities to a) fall off and possibly damage yourself, and b) break the device.
This is a damned strange product.

But what if people aren't wearing clothes with pockets?
FAIL.
ComicShaman @ Apr 16th 2008 12:58PM
Or what about people who aren't wearing any clothes at all? I happen to know that marketing research indicates that a significant percentage of people like to take off their clothes before they play with their Wii. Didn't think of that, did you, Nintentdo?
... I certainly wish I hadn't.

What's the point of the Wii Balancing Board if you have the freaking remote in your pocket? Can't the remote track your jumps itself? Why not throw in the nunchuk as well?

the point of the board is to make nintendo money with one of the biggest gimmick peripherals of all time.
Jansperus @ Apr 16th 2008 1:34PM
Well, if that's the case, then I expect this to sell millions! If there's a group of people that enjoy a company getting rich off their money even more than Apple fanboys, it's Nintendo fanboys!

I presume if you don't have a back pocket you could always shove the wiimote in your ass? :(

I'm surprised and extremely disappointed that Nintendo would want to have anything to do with a corrupt, crooked scumbag criminal like Don King.
Besides, jumping on the balance board with a wiimote stuck down your back pocket seems like a sure-fire way of causing Wiinjuries, and lawsuits. I'm sure an idea like that would never fly in reality.
