With all of the excitement of E3 2008 behind us and some good news for Wii Balance Board fans I thought I would take a look back at the games we were expecting to see but didn't as well as a few we would have liked to have seen but didn't really expect.

EA Fitness
EA's E3 press conference proved to be a bit of a disappointment overall and while we did see some good exposure of Skate It over the three days, the other big news we were hoping for was confirmation of rumours surrounding a new fitness game which, for the time being, is titled EA Fitness.

Now according to a post on IGN, EA has publicly revealed that it is working on a new fitness title but they don't seem to be ready to reveal any more than that. Let's hope that this does prove to be more than just rumours because, based on the initial feedback we've been getting via our Wii Fit Survey, there's definitely a demand for more fitness games for the balance board.

Spider-Man
Spidey did make an appearance at E3 in the form of Spider-Man: Web of Shadows but we only got to see PS3/XBox/PC gameplay and there was no mention of a Wii version or confirmation of any of the previous rumours about balance board support.

Punch-Out!!
Earlier this month, rumours started doing the rounds that two of Nintendo's big reveals for E3 would be Animal Crossing and Punch-Out!! According to NGamer, Punch-Out!! was going to make use of the Wii Balance Board for dodging and weaving in addition to using the Wiimote and Nunchuck for punching. As it turns out, Animal Crossing made the grade, and Punch-Out!! was nowhere to be found.

Wii Yoga
I didn't really expect to see JoWood's Wii Yoga at E3 but it would have been nice to get a bit more info as, according to our survey, there is some interest in yoga as a dedicated title for the Wii Balance Board.

WiiWare Balance Board Titles
Strangely, there didn't seem to be too much emphasis on WiiWare titles this year. There have been various rumours for some time about possible WiiWare balance board games, the most positive coming from Hudson in relation to Tetris for WiiWare but it was another no show.

PheroseSoft We Move
Saving the best for last! Some of you may recall the earlier sexually-charged teaser trailers for this 'game' which seemed to hint at a showing at E3. Earlier this month another video appeared featuring a "Splash Girl" object and what looked to me like a stream of bright yellow pee. No I'm not making this up, see for yourself. At the time I chose not to mention it on WiiBBG as I was starting to suspect that this was a hoax.

Needless to say, We Move was a no show at this year's E3 but according to info on YouTube ... "Wiiware forth quarter 2008, balance board mmorpg featuring 100% user created content, MotionPlus. pay2play". What, already including support for MotionPlus? I'll believe this game exists when it actually appears in my console's WiiWare list.

Earlier this month a teaser trailer appeared on YouTube titled Wii Move - Balance Board Innovation. The trailer itself didn't really say much although the the associated tags (wiiware, balance board, independent game, q4 2008) seemed to hint at something but I thought I would just keep an eye on things before posting information here.

Now, a second teaser has been released, this time titled We Move: Pain vs Pleasure and it's all starting to fall into place. How best to describe this? Well it's like Wii Board meets Second Life with a distinctly adult flavour. Looking back at the first trailer, the signs were all there - the scantily dressed women, suggestive swaying hips and bouncing breasts - I can't believe I missed it the first time around. This second video however definitely sets the scene with text like "Cruise Your Neighborhood", "Go One On One" and "Interact Live With Other Users" together with an alternative use for hot candle wax - I think you get the picture.

Although details are still sketchy, the word is that this WiiWare title is being developed by PheroseSoft, a small development team made up of ex EA and Rockstar staff and is scheduled for release as We Move in Q4 2008. I'll keep you posted as things hot up as I'm sure they will.
