This year’s big news at the 2001 E3 conference was the development of the sequel to the Wii, the Wii U. But there were a number of Wii Fitness games announced for release later this year.
- Champion Jockey: G1 Jockey & Gallop Racer
- Dance Dance Revolution II
- Just Dance 3
- My Body Coach 2
- Nickelodeon Dance
- Rhythm Heaven
- UFC Personal Trainer
- Zumba Fitness 2
You’ll notice there are a lot of “2s” and “3s” (in fact, since the last version of Dance Dance Revolution was a “reboot”, this version is really Dance Dance Revolution 6–and probably won’t be too much different from 2!). It’s a shame that game developers are getting more and more skittish about developing brand new innovative titles; on the other hand, hopefully in the re-releases of popular titles like Just Dance and Zumba Fitness the publishers are working hard on correcting a lot of the inaccuracies and flaws of those games, rather than just rushing out another version to try to cash in on us users.
I’ll, of course, post details and links to purchase as they become available on the list of upcoming Wii Fitness Games. And if you hear of other upcoming games not on the list, please leave a comment, and I’ll be sure to add it to my list of games to review!
