Since the launch and success of Wii Fit, it was only a matter of time before more exercise-related “games” started making their way onto the console. JoWood Productions is the first to get on board, announcing the balance board-compatible Wii Yoga, scheduled for a 2009 release. Calling it a “lifestyle game”, this is apparently only the first title of this nature the publisher has in development.



According to JoWood, yoga, “the well-known and favored doctrine for mind, body and soul guarantees a unique gaming experience for young and young at heart gamers”. Wow, that was fairly cheesy, but I guess if it gets people to exercise, more power to them. I don’t know that I would necessarily call yoga a “game”, though; that might be a little bit of false advertising.

I guess this is a good idea, as it would certainly add more variety to the daily Wii workouts (assuming anyone is still using the balance board in 2009). Personally, I would rather see something like Wii Aerobics, but my guess is someone will come out with something like that sooner or later. I just hope that this game allows you to do more than one two-minute yoga pose at a time; if it’s presented more like an actual yoga class, I might be interested.
