Rumor: EA Making Football Training Game For Wii
Here’s one from the rumor-mill: Word on the internet is EA is creating a new football game for the Wii, but it’s not a Madden title. Instead, "NFL Trainer" aims to get players to participate in football exercises and workouts. It will give you advice on how to throw passes and, presumably, do other football-style actions. Rumor has it the game will come with a pigskin shaped attachment to add realism. Supposedly, the game will be officially announced in January.
I think this is a fantastic idea — games that use the Wii to inspire people to exercise seem to appeal mostly to women, so using the Wii for male gamers who want to get a little exercise would actually work really well… That’s assuming it’s Wii Fit for football fans, but if it’s just a collection of Wii-centric football mini-games, that’s cool too. Football is good, and EA trying to expand their position as the home of video game comedy makes perfect sense.
Rumors that the Oakland Raiders are investing in this game for its entire offense are probably not true, as I made that up.
