Electronic Arts, seeing the huge popularity of Nintendo’s Wii Fit , has announced they will be releasing their own fitness game, EA Sports Active next March for the Wii console.
The game will have tennis, boxing, soccer and other sports which gamers can play using wireless controllers attached to their arms and legs.
The game will retail for $60 USD and will include a book on healthy eating.
Electronista says Sports Active “centers around a pair of leg straps that hold both the Wii remote and nunchuk in place as well as a single resistance band for the upper body. The set lets Nintendo’s own controllers properly track exercise across the whole body and also introduce enough physical stress to provide strength-based exercise.”

If you are planning on vacationing anytime soon, you may want to book yourself into a Westin Hotel, which has announced that it will be supplying at least 10 of its hotel chains with the popular Nintendo Wii console.
What makes the announcement even more special is that the Wiis will come preloaded with a self updating selection of games, meaning no physical discs are required.
The first games to come preloaded will be Wii Sports, Big Brain Academy and Wii Play. Additionally , Wii Fit will be coming May 19th (alongside its US release date) and will even include the balance board. “The fitness aspects of the platform will feature in Westin’s WestinWORKOUT exercise and fitness services,” added the company.
So far hotels in Bellevue and New York City already have the Wii, but LA, San Francisco, Toronto, Kansas City, St Louis, Houston and Savannah will all see the Wiis soon.
