Wii Exercise tries to outwit Wii Fit

If it weren't so funny, we'd be more interested in this one. Rocket Company, a Japanese publisher/developer, is looking to beat Nintendo at their own game -- literally -- with their planned release of Wii Exercise. It's not exactly like Wii Fit; there's no balance board, and it seems there's a lack of minigames. Instead, Wii Exercise focuses on a nutrition program and a set of boxing moves to help gamers get fit. So, balance board or nutrition program? It's hard to argue with Nintendo on their own turf, but both titles may be worth looking at for those really interested in using their consoles to get into shape. [Thanks, hvnlysoldr!]

"If it were anyone besides Nintendo, they'd be laughed off the face of the Earth." We'll just have to see if anyone bites.

I think the balance board has way more possibilities for fitness. I already have Wii Boxing and millions of websites that want to tell me how to eat.
