3 million copies of Wii Fit sold in Japan
The Japanese love themselves some Wii Fit, as the game has managed to sell 3 million copies in just a year of being available over there. Of course, selling 3 million copies of anything is incredibly impressive, but, for Nintendo, it's just another drop in the company's bottomless money we...

Don King Boxing makes a surprise comeback
It looks -- okay. It's not going to divert anyone's funds away from Punch-Out!!, that's for sure. It's automatically better than Ready 2 Rumble in that it is devoid of Hasselhoff caricatures. And the vaunted Balance Board training, which is supposed to be a real workout? Looks like the Rhyth...

Active Life trailer: enjoy it with your family
We think we've figured out Active Life: Outdoor Challenge's niche. We know it differs from the 800-pound gorilla of Wii exercise games, Wii Fit, in that it's more game-based and less pure exercise activities. It also has a bit of an "adventure" setting. It also features activities like jump...

Revolutionary: Balance and Options
To use the Balance Board with another controller, careful attention must be paid to the order in which the devices are synced to the computer. For other peripherals, we could get away with just naming them specifically (for example: Nunchuk.JoyX, but for the Balance Board, we need to add th...

Europeans can train their families in September
Perhaps you prefer video game exercise on a mat rather than a Balance Board, or perhaps there's room for two fitness-based games in your life; if either of these conditions apply, though, you'll have to wait a few months to pick up this title. Atari recently announced that the game will reac...
