Jillian Michaels' new game has a kayaking minigame where you sit on the balance board too.

But I hope this one is good. I LOVE RR1, but I rented RR2 and didn't like it as well as the first. I'd love to see one that was as fun as the first. Some of those games had me laughing so hard that it made it difficult to actually play them! And I loved the dance games on RR1.

My son plays soccer heading while sitting on his butt, he just shifts his weight left, center, right. He does rather well on it too.

(that's why I put "play" in "quotes"...lol. I was just picking on the advertisers, because they're not completely accurate.)

But Lotus you are just trying to stay as still as possible, not sure how much that's 'playing' as much as concentration that just happens to use the balance board to see if you're sitting still.

LOL...sorry, but that's not quite true--there is "Lotus Focus" in the Wii Fit that you "play" with your butt.

Does sound fun, though.

I went to watch Get Smart with my wife in the dollar theater yesterday and they had an advertisement for the new Raving Rabbids game coming in November. One of the things they talked about in the commercial is the fact that it is "the first ever video game you play with your butt."

Judging from the videos, there are at least two games in Raving Rabbids that have the option of using the Wii Fit Balance Board: riding a motorcycle - you steer by leaning. And the other is one where you are riding an upside-down water buffalo down a ski hill.

I normally don't get excited enough about games to buy the when they first come out. I either rent first or wait for the price to hit $20 before buying... But in this case I'm definitely buying on release day.
