EA Sports working on sweaty Wii Fit

EA's version of Wii Fit is intended to make the user sweat while still having fun. Although Moore wouldn't get into specifics of the game, he would say that the key is to distract the user and make them have fun without realizing they're having a good workout. Hopefully, EA's exercise game will come with a Shamwow and some disinfectant spray for the board. Yes, we've now come to fear the fungal side of Wii Fit.

Poor Balance Board... looks so innocent next to that EA logo.
=p

The EA logo looks like its going to gobble up the Wiiboard Pac-man style.

WOKKA WOKKA or OM NOM NOM ?

"Western" cardio workouts? Why does that conjure up images of someone shouting peppy phrases.
"FEEL THE BURN".
...it sounds no where near as relaxed as Wii fit, and that's just going on this short article. Yay for assumptions.

OMFG PLZ STOP WITH THE C&C MUSIC FACTORY REFERENCES!!!!
I am not getting "Good Vibrations" from where this is going...
John @ May 9th 2008 12:37AM
Good Vibrations was marky mark and the funky buch. Shit don't you know your crappy music?
Although to be fair, C+C and Marky Mark both kicked so much ass.

oh c'mon
Joystiq has lost their objectivity a long time ago it seems, your anger towards wii success is constant and its getting boring...
Seeing latest news, just with the titles or with their picture you are making the statement that "Wii isnt as good as Ps3 or Xbox" but it definetely brings more news than the other two consoles. It is full of shovelware like any popular console, buti t also has a lot of potential that the other two only have in graphics.
Console gaming will remain the same as far as game content, even if they get more "budgety" or with deeper stories, nothing new will come... but with this posibility at least people have other reason to use the console and thats great.

I didn't see any hostility in the post.
Just words that grew into pretty sentences.

If everyone could just ignore this comment, we would all be doing this article a great favor.
Thanks in advance, fellow commenters.

Somehow I'm envisioning twenty different minigames revolving around step aerobics. How titillating...
Worst Review Ever @ May 8th 2008 3:25PM
It's "tit" something for sure! Amirite?! *high fives*
samfish @ May 8th 2008 3:55PM
Stepaerobics+boob physics could make for a kick ass game.
It'd be like watching Jane fonda's workout videos all over again...except with pixels and polygons.
...and it'd be Samus instead of Jane Fonda.
PojoMofo @ May 8th 2008 4:03PM
so basically Metroid + Wiistripper pole = Day one purchase for samfish??
samfish @ May 8th 2008 4:24PM
I'd be all over that day 1.
ThornedVenom (Harley Quinn Defense Force) @ May 8th 2008 5:30PM
What about Wiistripper pole + Peach?
ThornedVenom (Harley Quinn Defense Force) @ May 8th 2008 5:30PM
What about Wiistripper pole + Peach?
samfish @ May 8th 2008 5:38PM
Peach would be an unlockable. So would Rosalina and Zelda, of course.
Mr Khan @ May 8th 2008 6:14PM
The girls of Fire Emblem, I swear there isn't a single unattractive (though that varies greatly) female playable character from that series
JimJimBinks @ May 8th 2008 3:27PM
Western Cardio... Like you're in a saloon and a drunken Mad Dog Tannen looking guy pointing a gun at your feet where the Wii Fit is yelling "DANCE!" and you have to hop around avoiding the bullets? That kind of Western Cardio?
Nate @ May 8th 2008 5:14PM
"intended to make the user sweat while still having fun"
......... so where does the balance board come in there? ;)
LAWL @ May 8th 2008 5:40PM
Nice,atleast others are trying stuff with it,and atleast its diferent enough.
Ooh and that samus games,wouldnt it be better on the 360? i mean its got the fanbase for that sort already,look at DOAX2.
LionheartAce @ May 8th 2008 5:26PM
So Wii Sweat? GOTY?
Kye - Joystiq Greybeard @ May 9th 2008 9:23AM
