From the folks that brought you … erm … a bunch of case mods for the Xbox 360, comes the “Wii Riiser Aerobic Step” for your Wii Fit Balance Board. Just in case you were unsatisfied with the heights that the existing step peripheral offered, Zoozen has gone out and created an attachment to boost the level up to a more challenging four inches.
The company contests this is the average height of an actual stepper (which we won’t point out also costs significantly less than the Wii Fit and “Wii Riiser Aerobic Step” combined), and as such, will help “improve your step aerobic workout.” While we’re sure this peripheral would attach to your Balance Board that much easier than two pieces of equally sized wood, we’re not so sure it would serve a different purpose. Zoozen’s “Wii Riiser Aerobic Step” is available now for the not-so-nice price of $39.99.

EA is determined to release its new crop of sports game, whether or not Nintendo has released the Wii MotionPlus peripheral or not. As you may recall, EA revealed the next Tiger Woods game would feature MotionPlus support, as well as a new tennis game the company is developing, and both will ship to retail on June 16, 2009. EA Sports’ PR chief, David Tinson, said that both games “will be compatible, but not dependent, on WMP. They will ship with the functionality, regardless of when WMP comes to market.”
The peripheral is a tie-in with Wii Sports Resort, a game that was woefully absent from Nintendo’s big release list yesterday. Will MotionPlus and Wii Sports Resort be on store shelves by June 16? Nintendo has yet to comment on an exact release for the Wii Sports successor, but we’ll be sure to update you as soon as we hear.
