April ... Fools? Wii Qube and Wii Relax may be real

Last week, information started showing up online about Wii Qube and Wii Relax from a company in Italy called Pub Company. We declined to post about them, since a game in which you stick the Wiimote in a big cube and a game that uses a headset to measure your relaxation level seemed like obvious, annoying jokes, especially given their proximity to, uh, today.

Pub Company sent out a press release today assuring us it isn't an April Fools Day windup. Qube is apparently a Tetris-inspired falling-blocks puzzle game controlled by moving a big cube around. Wii Relax is a series of two games, Relax Mind and Relax Body: "'Mind" will teach you to relax your mental state whilst 'Body' will help you to relax your body and alleviate stress. Forget about Yoga lessons and expensive massages: you'll be able to have a real Zen experience in your own living room."

We're still not sure if this stuff is real.
