Exercise Bike Coming to the Wii Next Year

by Evan Shamoon on October 15, 2009 at 03:19 PM

Now that the Nintendo Wii has become the village bicycle of exercise accessories, the metaphor is rapidly approaching its natural conclusion; a Wii exercise bike attachment is on its way.

German publisher Bigben Interactive is developing a Cyberbike in conjunction with its own eco-themed game, which pits players against pollution as they maneuver the bike through land, sea, and air. The device will also work with 'Mario Kart Wii' (the only other game yet announced as compatible), and the mega-sized packages will land in stores this January.

It's actually not a terrible idea. Here's hoping the exercise bike isn't a wobbly, disposable piece of crap. If it's sturdy, playing the game will certainly be more fun than standard issue exercise. [From: Kotaku]
