Peter Moore, former corporate vice president at Microsoft and now EA Sports president, says that his staff is at work creating a game that will utilize the Wii’s Balance Board. The game will release under EA’s new Freestyle label and will focus on cardiovascular fitness, which is, apparently, a more “western” type thing:
“I need to have a point of difference,” he explained. “We also need to make sure we’re delivering something that’s truly exercise. I’ll call [Wii Fit] more eastern fitness, where it senses weight and balance, like Tai-Chi. It’s more about holistic fitness. I don’t think the board is going to take a pounding. We need to look more at western fitness in which I can actually be moving and start to sweat a little bit, and that’s what we’re working on right now.”
Expect funny mini-games and a rigorous training regime where Moore screams at you through your television: “YOU’RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH!”
