Wii Exercise now a complement to Wii Fit


Rocket Company's Wii Exercise was risible when it was clearly an attempt to compete with Wii Fit with no Balance Board and no Nintendo name on the front. One alteration to the game design has changed the game from ridiculous to, well, actually pretty smart (maybe): it uses the Balance Board.

In addition to the boxing and aerobics activities previously announced, Wii Exercise will make use of the board for exercises like squats, sit ups, and push ups. Now, there must be more to it, or more exercises available or something, because Wii Fit does those. If it just uses the Wii Fit peripheral (which 100% of the people who would have the Balance Board would already have) for exercises that Wii Fit does, that's dumb. But if it includes additional Balance Board training, supporting the Balance Board means that Wii Exercise is no longer a competitor to Wii Fit.
