Wii News \ Helix Coming To WiiWare, Details and Trailer

Ghostfire Games is brining Helix to the Nintendo Wii via the WiiWare service for a small price of 1000 points. The game set to include 26 indy songs, 30 dance gestures to perform while only using the WiiMote and Nunchuk.

The game has been approved by Nintendo and Ghostfire Games are saying that the title will be out on Monday in the US.

According to Ed Roman who is CEO of Ghostfire Games he said "You can really burn some calories playing this game. You tend to lose yourself playing the game and forget that you're even getting a workout, because the gameplay is compelling." So would this make it the cheap mans WiiFit?


Feel like losing a few pounds to the soothing sounds of random techno music from independent artists? Well that experience can be yours tomorrow, when Ghostfire Games' Helix releases on the WiiWare for 1000 Wii Points ($10).

Get it!

I have it and omg its fun as lol. At first I felt like a total Spaz, but in the end, was really fun. Only played two songs though, but it was really good.

Simple arm movements is all it does really, but at different speeds and different combinations and stuff.

Is good, recommended too! ^_^

=D

Interesting. Oh, and if this was Cheap Man's wii fit, then so is every other party game on the Wii. If it used the board, then you might call it cheapo wii fit.

It actually looks pretty interesting. I need some excersize, and I hate excersise so this might be pretty good. Then again, they were promising the same thing with Wii Sports, and that turned out to be... well, not very physical.

That looks like a good game, but I will most likely not play it as much as I tend to avoid physical activity
