THQ announce ‘UFC Trainer’ for Wii Fit set for release on January 1st, 2011
Game developers, THQ today pulled a rabbit out of the hat, announcing plans to release a ‘UFC Trainer’ video game for the Wii Fit, and the video game companies vice president is promising something pretty special.
This from e3gamespot.com:
THQ announced today a new UFC title in an E3 analysts meeting. UFC Trainer will teach players the finer points of punching a dude in the face.
Set for release January 1, 2011, UFC Trainer will be a more combative take on the fitness genre than the likes of Wii Fit or EA Sports Active. The game will be released for the Xbox 360 Kinect, the PlayStation 3 Move, and the Wii. THQ’s executive vice president of core gaming Danny Bilson apologized to analysts for the game’s absence from THQ’s E3 presence, but said the publisher doesn’t want to show it off until it’s the best training game on the market.
“We want this thing tuned to perfection without lag.” Bilson said. “And I’m not going to ship it until it’s the coolest fighting thing in the world.”
The company recently released the latest version of their Undisputed series, although early reports suggest that sales are down on what was expected. Maybe tackling a new platform like the Wii will give the company the much boost they so desperately need.
