Raving Rabbids balancing out their wacky life [update 2]

[Update: Screens available in our gallery!]After solving a moon mystery, the more astute Fanboy readers noticed the inclusion of a rather understated header on the latest cover of Nintendo Power. The game formerly known as Raving Rabbids 3 will henceforth be known as Raving Rabbids TV Party, as if we needed a reminder to plug our Wii into the TV instead of some shrubbery out the back.
Despite the Rabbids showing us how the Balance Board ought to be used, we couldn't confirm that the next addition to the series would go nuts with the whole leaning and weight-shifting thing. However, the teaser wasn't teasing and among TV Party's 65 mini-games, many (maybe even most) will use the Balance Board.
If using Wii Fit was enough to make your friends laugh stupidly (they are right to do so), then getting down with these crazy critters is enough for them to consider finding new people to hang out with.

The Rayman Rabbids games are fun the only problem I have with the game is it's only fun in parties. So for me the price of the game just isn't worth it.
Also other questions maybe others can answer:
1. Will Nintendo sell the balance board separately from wii fit? If so how much?
2. Will rayman "force" you to use a balance board or will you be able to do the games without it?

1) No. The price of the balance board will not be offset by not including a wii fit disc. In fact, it would probably increase costs initially. Think Wii Zapper.
2) Probably, but it won't be nearly as much fun.

I still don't have Wii fit. I'm in the middle of too many games, but I heard it was a lot of fun.

Well, it seems like this title is going to be only with the rabbids. Thank god Rayman's not in it, now maybe he can go back to his platformer glory again! ^^
I might consider buying this game, if i could just get a Wii Balance Board. Seriously, Wii Fit is sold out pretty much everywhere (i'm from Denmark).

From what I understand, the Wii only allows pairing with one balance board at a time, so I guess we should be prepared for more alternating player minigames in this one?

i hope they sell the board separately too!
i have 2 now, but i dont need an extra copy of the game. all i need is the 2 boards. i doubt i can sell the game considering its useless if you dont have the board to play
