The rabbids show us how to use the Balance Board

Love 'em or hate 'em, Ubisoft's rabbids are quite the characters. From this little teaser video that the company sent to IGN, it's also not hard to believe that the bunny-like critters will soon be back on the Wii for Rayman Raving Rabbids 3. Whether the unconfirmed (but likely) game will use the Balance Board, or whether the rabbids are just spoofing Wii Fit remains to be seen.

We'd guess that there's a high possibility for inclusion of the Balance Board in the next RRR iteration. Since the rabbid titles are generally full of minigames, the Balance Board will add a lot more possibilities in that regard. As IGN points out, Reggie also said that there were ten games using the board currently in development.

We're sure it won't be very long before all is revealed, though, so stay tuned.

I love the Rabbids and think they are a welcome addition to Wii.

I can only imagine what crazy things they have planned for the Balance Board. I can't wait to see what other games are being planned for the balance board. One of them just has to be a new WarioWare title. WarioWare is one of my favorite series - I have all the games, except the GCN version.

How could Wario pass up using the Balance Board? He could use a little fitness in his daily life... :P

Dude, the GCN was one of THE BEST versions! Aim to get it.

In one way, I'm stoked for a new Rabbids game to be coming. In another way, I'm kinda sad that it might be a very Balance-Board-centric game. I'm not quite convinced that I want to buy Wii Fit and the idea of shelling out $90 is less appealing when I'm already on a budget to get my games. I just hope that RRR3 would be worth buying if I don't end up investing in the Board.

If any of the previous games are any indication, you won't be 'forced' to have the board to play the game, you'll simply miss out on some minigames, or do them in another way.

At least Warioware and Mario Party are like that.

Are there really people who hate the Rabbids? Really? I just can't fathom that. They're so cute and naughty, how could you not love them? :-)

I paid my $10 deposit to reserve a copy of Wii Fit at Gamestop yesterday. I don't really care about Wii Fit itself, but I want the balance board for the future games that will use it.
