Wii has been on top of creating sports video games that get your moving and try to get you and keep you in shape. Instead of sitting down and playing video games, Nintendo wants you to get up. Well, Wii Cyberbike wants you to do the opposite. Nintendo wants you to sit down for this game, but they don't want you to take a load off and relax; they want you to work your butt off.
The Wii Cycling Sports game will come out in Europe January 2010, but release date elsewhere has not been confirmed. Same with the price, it hasn't been announced. More than likely, the game will be a little more than most due to the bike.
The Wii bicycle is a full sized stationary bike, give or take. But, it's very lightweight. I would expect that there will be a weight limit, depending on how stable the bike really is. Personally, it doesn't look that stable.
You'll get your workout by pedaling, but since pedaling alone is very boring, the Cyberbike lets you save the planet while you ride. The game takes you through imaginary scenes where you'll clean up pollution so that the planet is clean and sparkly versus gross and dingy.
Personally, the game sounds like it'll be a boring flop, but we'll find out when it is finally released. I'd say the game would be more interesting if you were racing in a real race versus saving the planet from pollution, but I can see where saving the planet deal is a good message, as it blends with the whole saving gas and reducing emissions by riding a bike theme.
