Konami announced it is currently amid development of a Nintendo Wii title that aims to combine elements of exergaming with rhythm. The title of the game is Walk It Out, in which players will walk to the beat of music as they explore a number of different environments such as country fields, suburbs, skyscrapers and ocean-side environments.
The game is compatible with the DanceDanceRevolution floor mat for the Wii as well as the Wii Remote, Nunchuk and Balance Board. As players participate in gamepaly, charts, graphs and other visuals keep track of stats such as calories burned, distance traveled, steps taken and more. And what would a Wii game be without mini-games? Walk It Out will also feature a number of mini-games to entertain players outside of the main mode.
Right now, the game is set to include 120 (?!?) songs, with the only titles announced so far being:
"Boom Boom Pow" by The Black Eyed Peas
"La La Land" by Demi Lovato
"How Do You Sleep" by Jesse McCartney
It's not clear how long each song will be, how exactly they will be implemented in game play, whether or not the songs are covers, etc., but we do have screen shots and a video and will continue to follow the title as new details are unveiled.

What the fuck.
When Nintendo said they were hoping the Wii would open up all sorts of innovative games, I'm FAIRLY CERTAIN they weren't thinking of games where the goal is to walk.
This is, without a doubt, the dumbest concept for a game I've ever heard of. I am not exaggerating. This is worse than those Imagine ______ games, worse than Barbie's Horse (Party) Ranch Shithole Whatever, worse than anything else previously shat out.
That said, there is a (slim) chance that it will be executed brilliantly and I'll come to eat those words.

But then WiiFit
