Majesco and Jillian Michaels to issue 'Fitness Ultimatum' for Wii
All right, this is the last straw. We in the greater video game industry have watched silently while you claimed you just "didn't have the rhythm" for Dance Dance Revolution. We bit our tongues when you said that Wii Fit was "just a fad." Well, say goodbye to Mr. Nice Industry. We're tired of tip-toeing around your feelings. You have to get fit, and we're issuing a fitness ultimatum to make sure that you do! Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2009, to be exact.
We're sorry it's come to this ... we really are ... but if a Majesco-published game featuring fitness celebrity Jillian Michaels and Wii Balance Board support is what it takes to break you out of your cycle of unfit living, then damn it, we're willing to release that game in time for the upcoming holiday season. Let's be perfectly clear though ... this 'ultimatum' truly is our last warning that you need to get fit using a video game. If you let this opportunity pass you by, that's it, we're done, you're on your own. Good luck getting fit without the video game industry's help if you drop the ball this time!
Aw, who are we kidding? When you get tired of this game we'll try again with another gimmicky fitness simulator. Who could say no to that precious disposable income? Here, have another Halo 3 Mountain Dew.

If she comes with the game i'm pre-ordering today.
Chicago Mafia @ Jun 12th 2008 11:35AM
Indeed!
syrik zero @ Jun 12th 2008 11:27AM
Her face makes me not want to ever see this game "in action"
shamowfski @ Jun 12th 2008 11:41AM
Because it's not a d00ds face?
riggs @ Jun 12th 2008 11:47AM
it is a doods face.
syrik zero @ Jun 12th 2008 11:49AM
Haha not at all. She has a great body! Her face kind of looks like a d00d's face to me though. Everyone has their own taste
A Pissed-off English Gamer @ Jun 12th 2008 1:46PM
It's just a crazy coincidence that internet-dwellers tend to have standards that verge on the preposterous.
riggs @ Jun 12th 2008 12:08PM
all we ask is for non-dood face, not preposterous at all really.
samfish @ Jun 12th 2008 12:11PM
If that's a doods face, then just call me gay.
syrik zero @ Jun 12th 2008 12:36PM
My girlfriend has a nice body, not as nice as this guy's body and my girlfriend's face is far prettier! I'm not lying or trying to make it sound like I have a super hot girl, but she definitely is better looking than this girl.
jsn @ Jun 12th 2008 12:57PM
you should link to some pics and let the masses decide... c'mon..please...
syrik zero @ Jun 12th 2008 1:04PM
I knew that was coming.... I'll see what I can do?
Obie @ Jun 12th 2008 2:33PM
What face? I would be too busy eating sushi off that stomache!

@A Pissed-off English Gamer
Funniest comment I've read in quite some time.
Lonecow @ Jun 12th 2008 11:28AM
she would have made a good Sarah Conner for the TV show.
riggs @ Jun 12th 2008 11:48AM
+1 for having the same thought as me.
DBuck_Eye @ Jun 12th 2008 11:28AM
Who is Jillian Michaels?
PojoMofo @ Jun 12th 2008 11:39AM
she is on "The biggest loser" Reality show on NBC
JPN @ Jun 12th 2008 11:33AM
I'm embarrassed to say I both knew this game was coming and am going to buy it. She's one of the trainers from the Biggest Loser, which I love, and I listen to her podcast.
I'm just glad that they're releasing something else for the balance board too...
xGeneral DEATHx @ Jun 12th 2008 11:37AM
Those sure are some short...umm...shorts. :-)
Jnas @ Jun 12th 2008 11:38AM
I'd give her a workout.
kaneda @ Jun 12th 2008 11:44AM
by 'give a workout' do you mean 'would participate in sexual intercourse with'?
xGeneral DEATHx @ Jun 12th 2008 11:46AM
LoLz...
ill trooper @ Jun 12th 2008 11:49AM
Dammit Kaneda, I was trying to bust out that joke first! You got that in there while I was typing mine.
*sobbing*
Sir Fidlious Wong (Justin T. McElroy Memorial Burn of the Day Award) @ Jun 12th 2008 12:23PM
By "give her a workout" do you mean "weeply softly at the corner of the bed, completely flacid while she's heading out to a bar?"
xGeneral DEATHx @ Jun 12th 2008 12:58PM
+1 to Sir Fid for the reality check.
Jnas @ Jun 12th 2008 3:57PM
Well Fidlious, seems like you're the one who needs the reality check. Not everyone you meet on the internet is a socially inept powernerd. So instead of trying to make yourself feel better by assuming so, why don't you get out once in a while and give the real world a try! It's not that bad, really!
ill trooper @ Jun 12th 2008 11:46AM
She can 'issue those ultimatums' to me anytime she wants.
That was really just a metaphor for sex, if you missed it.
Shagittarius @ Jun 12th 2008 11:46AM
She looks buff but I bet I could still get her over my knee to spank.
Shagittarius @ Jun 12th 2008 11:48AM
This gives me another idea for a great Wii game:
The Cryiing Game.
Please place both your knees on the Wii fit pad and pull the wii-mote in a downward motion.
mocax @ Jun 12th 2008 11:51AM
Cryiing Game starring Boy George?
quickshade @ Jun 12th 2008 11:54AM
She's kind of scary, the kind of girl that wants full control over what happens.....I don't think I could do that.
SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread) @ Jun 12th 2008 11:54AM
Damn. Sexy.
....i dont know why, but this looks like game of the year material to me. fascinating.
deaftly @ Jun 12th 2008 12:00PM
I'd hit it.
xFenixKnightx @ Jun 12th 2008 1:14PM
Twice! ;)
GearSecond! (a.k.a AwesomeStuff) @ Jun 12th 2008 3:38PM
OHHHH YEAAAAHHH!!!
velocitySTRIKE @ Jun 12th 2008 12:00PM
The inclusion of "2009" makes me sigh tremendously.
Sir Fidlious Wong (Justin T. McElroy Memorial Burn of the Day Award) @ Jun 12th 2008 12:25PM
Why? That's the aspect which makes me happy. Let's put it this way, when the average Wii game goes from announcement to shipping within six months, the average Wii game often sucks. With it having a 2009 timetable, that means there is actual effort being put into it.
juju187 @ Jun 12th 2008 12:04PM
She gotz teh phatz munkeyz
brokenscope @ Jun 12th 2008 12:29PM
Don't really know if I want.
koehler83 @ Jun 12th 2008 12:38PM
...'Fitness celebrity'?
I've never heard that phrase before in my life. Something tells me I never will again.
Tag @ Jun 12th 2008 12:45PM
So you've never heard of Billy Blanks (Tae-Bo)?
Arguably many others could fall into this category such as Richard Simmons and Jane Fonda. There are quite a few "fitness celebrities" out there.
You don't have to like them, but you can't argue their popularity.
Shagittarius @ Jun 12th 2008 12:45PM
Richard Simmons says hello.
Tag @ Jun 12th 2008 5:56PM
Bastards, all of you.
xGeneral DEATHx @ Jun 12th 2008 1:01PM
"For $4.99 with your Blockbuster card, you can see me and Billy Blanks in Thailand doin' Tae Bo with some Bow ties, you feel me b*tch?"
theturtle363 @ Jun 12th 2008 2:47PM
God what a horseface!
deaftly @ Jun 12th 2008 3:17PM
I like how no one even commented on the story, just the girl. Gotta love those internets heh.
geeky @ Jun 12th 2008 3:40PM
Ultimatum: Get fit or they'll send the test team after you.
:o
Rob Accomando @ Jun 12th 2008 5:13PM
She's hot. WTF are you all on?
Spirit-of @ Jun 12th 2008 5:14PM
Food for thought:
Beauty is a poor return on investment. Eventually "ugly" catches up to everyone.
