We've compiled a list of the most anticipated upcoming new titles for Wii exercise and fitness which will be flooding stores just in time for Christmas 2011. In many cases, you can pre-order the games, ensuring that you'll be first on line for the next big thing to boost your Wii Workouts!
This is a list of upcoming fitness and exercise games for the Wii. For reviews and news about current games, visit our blog or see our updated list of the best Wii Fitness Games.
Interestingly, while 2010 brought us a whole bunch of exercise games ranging from The Biggest Loser to EA Sports Active 2, 2011 has been strangely quiet. There have been a few new exercise games like Exerbeat, Fit In Six, and Get Fit with Mel B, but they were few and far between.
On the other hand, dance games are all the rage. Seems that everywhere you turn someone else is releasing a dancing game. The one to beat on the Wii is still Just Dance 3
Here are some of the upcoming games that will be flooding the market soon. When Amazon provided pre-order links, I posted them here (pre-ordering is highly recommended in case a game turns out to be a huge hit like Wii Fit was). As these games hit the market, I'll review them and post a review on my blog. And if the game turns out to be a winner, I'll add it to the Top Ten list. Likewise, games that are univerally panned by critics and customers will end up in the Wii Fitness Games to Avoid list.

Rhythm Heaven
Most of you saw my wrath when the Zumba people made trouble for my YouTube account when I wrote them a nice review. Well, to the Zumba folks, all will be forgiven if you break down the dance moves properly and fix your motion controls in Zumba Fitness 2
The Active Life series by 
After the Just Dance Series sold 10 million copies (and counting), other publishers are jumping on board to try to get a piece of the pie. With Nickelodeon Dance
This is a dance title by O-Games. Perhaps the biggest claim to fame so far is that they're being sued by Ubisoft who claims that they're infringing on their copyright. The game has since disappeared from Amazon right in time for the Christmas 2011 shopping season so O-Games, of course, has sued back. Looking at some of the early screenshots, I hate to say it, but the way they portray the dancers, the graphics, and the dance moves looks an awful, awful lot like Just Dance. Although it also sounds like they've added a bunch of new modes and features such as Tug of War and Last Man Standing. This one was set to launch 11/10/2011, but we'll see what the courts decide.
And the derivative Just Dance games continue. Just Dance Kids 2
Yes, it's another dancing game. Set to release on 11/8/2011, The Black Eyed Peas Experience
Set to release on 11/8/2011, Winter Stars
Yes, Country Dance 2
Majesco announced that in "late 2011", they'll be releasing a game based on Hollywood fitness-expert-to-the-stars Pasternak's 5-Factor Fitness program. Designed to generate results in just five weeks, the successful 5-Factor Fitness program is based on five-ingredient meals, five times a day, coupled with Harley's signature fitness program of five-minute sets. It doesn't look like this one is going to make it for Christmas 2011, but we'll see what happens.
