Today (and today only), The Biggest Loser for Wii is Amazon’s Video Game Deal of the Day
Read my review of the Biggest Loser for Wii here. All in all, a decent enough game to mix things up in your Wii workout, especially for under $30.
There’s a great deal going on for the original EA Sports Active at the EA Store.
The game is currently on sale for $43.54 at the EA Store.
It comes with the original EA Sports Active game, the leg strap, and the resistance band. You can read my original review of EA Sports Active here.
You can use coupon code PAXEAST842 to reduce the price an additional $20, for a total price of $23.54.
If you’ve been on the fence about this one, and need to start exercising before Fall of 2010, you won’t find a better deal for this one. But hurry, I have the feeling this one won’t last long…
Fresh off its successes with Dance Dance Revolution and Walk It Out, its first foray into the exercise genre, Konami has announced another title set to release on April 27.
It’s called The Cages: Pro Style Batting Practice
Some early information on the game is available on Konami’s Web site.
As a big baseball fan and someone who forks over a little too much at the real-life batting cages sometimes, this is probably the upcoming Wii fitness game I’m looking forward to most. Stay tuned!
You might notice a fresh new look if you’re visiting the blog from http://www.nutwiisystem.com/blog. To make a long story short, I’ve always liked having the blog at this Web address, but Blogger said they would be unable to support it any more.
So I pulled basically an all-nighter last night to move every post, picture, and comment from the old Blogger platform to a shiny new WordPress installation. It was a ton of work, but I’m pretty sure I got everything. I’m actually excited about WordPress, as there’s a ton of stuff I can do now that I couldn’t before.
You may see some strange little hiccups here and there as a result of the migration. Hopefully I’ll be ironing those out as time progresses, but feed free to let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks for reading and for all the kind words you’ve all given me over these months. I look forward to many more Wii workouts with you. And there are definitely some good things coming
