Originally scheduled to debut at 2010's E3, this Labor Day weekend Nintendo finally unveiled the much-anticipated follow-up to its acclaimed Wii Fit software, which has sold over 20 million copies worldwide. With the new Wii Shit, consumers will fit a heavy-gauge plastic toilet shell over the Wii Balance Board peripheral, which will be used to measure force, density and consistency of player excrement.
The video demonstration revealed several game modes within the core software, such as "King of the Can", where players race to be the first to lay down a full pound onto the Balance Board, and "Last Man Sitting", where up to 4 players each attempt to eat as many plates of refried beans as possible before giving up, falling onto the floor or losing consciousness. Online leaderboards will allow players to upload their statistics and see how they stack up against others around the world.
Third party support for the peripheral is expected to be strong for the holiday launch, with Konami announcing a binge drinking title which they claim will utilize the new hardware in "inventive and disgusting ways", and UHS developing "Virtual Swirlie". As a bonus, 180 free Rock Band or Guitar Hero song downloads from Upstream Premium Division, Drunken Stupor and Captain Darkwheat will be included with the first one hundred thousand copies.
Announcements regarding Sony's "PlayStation Deuce" and Microsoft's "Project Fecal" are expected later this week.
The Deuce is loose!!!
ReplyDeleteI was disappointed that 'Gang of Flounda' decided to not allow their songs to be used for the games.
ReplyDeleteOn a related note, I couldn't help but chuckle that there was a 'bomb threat' reported at a nearby White Castle the other day. Isn't White Castle under a constant 'bomb threat'?
