EA & The Balance Board

in

As the U.S. release of Wii Fit approaches, the Balance Board's buzz is increasing exponentially. The device is now poised to smash the Wii Wheel as the second-most desired accessory/controller after the Wiimote itself. This is proven by EA Sports' embrace of the BB for their new Freestyle brand.

Freestyle will be a departure similar to EA Sports BIG and the first game will be a boxing game called FaceBreaker. The second game under the brand will be Balance Board-compatible that will offer a "Western" exercise alternative to Wii Fit's "Eastern" approach. Hey, the more the merrier.
