In addition to FaceBreaker, EA’s new brand, EA SPORTS Freestyle, is developing a fitness title that utilizes the Wii Balance Board. The game does not have title yet, but its gameplay will be distinct from WiiFit. According to Peter Moore, head of EA SPORTS, the fitness title will be more intense than the Nintendo offering, concentrating on a more Western approach to fitness. There is no release date either, but previously Mr. Moore mentioned that three titles would be coming out this year from the new Freestyle band. Most likely, the fitness title will be one of them. Here’s a direct quote from Peter Moore:
“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.” |
