Enjoy Yoga Supports Wii Balance Board

Enjoy Yoga supports the Wii Balance Board, we learn today. Made by Enjoy Gaming in the UK, it allows players to indulge in the relaxing activity in a variety of game modes. Check out the blurb:

The player practices a wide range of yoga & Tai-chi exercises using a customizable avatar in a customizable home. There are 3 different game modes: Tai-chi, Yoga and Zen Garden.

The Tai-chi mode allows the player to execute a series of slow movements designed to provide physical relaxation.

The Yoga mode offers various sessions allowing the player to improve his skills and feelings via different challenges, with the help of a coaching system telling him which exercises need more practice.

The Zen Garden mode allows the player to add new elements to a Japanese garden by doing specific moves, such as the tree move or the bridge move, thus improving the background and ambiance of the set which in return provides a feeling of well-being. A specific feature also allows the player to learn about the Zen way of life and the Yoga philosophy. This game can be played with the Wii Board but it is not mandatory.

Enjoy Yoga doesn't yet have a firm release date... it's just down as 'Coming soon'.

Rayman Raving Rabbids 4 to Support Wii Balance Board?

In a recent financial report made public yesterday, Ubisoft has revealed its plans to unleash Rayman Raving Rabbids 4 onto the world in April 2010.

Shaun White Snowboarding World Stage Review

A portion of the WorthPlaying review of Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage:

"Ultimately, gamers who have already played the original Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip will experience a sense of déjà vu when playing Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage. After all, the controls, graphics and most of the sounds remain the same and, at first glance, the changes made to the game seem minimal. Give it some more play time, though, and you'll notice that most of those changes are improvements and make World Stage the better game to own. Snowboarding fans, both of the arcade and simulation variety, would do well to pick up this title."
