Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum Brings Body Shame To Wii
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 12:40 PM on September 23, 2008
You may remember that the star of NBC's The Biggest Loser, Jillian Michaels, issued an ultimatum to gamers earlier this year. With Majesco's Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2009 the fitness guru has given you two options: whip your sorry arse into shape or, you know, don't. It's up to you. After seeing Ms. Michaels' gloriously toned midriff, however, you may be shamed into leaning toward "whip arse into shape," even if the graphics look clunky as hell and monkeybar climbing with a Wii-remote looks decidedly lame. Still, the debut trailer for the game is worth it for the camera's attention on Jillian's ab-region. We don't mind being pandered to.

Ummm... I thought Wii Fit brought body shame to the Wii already? That is, if calling little girls fat is shaming their bodies. Hmmm.

@ChiChi_BBQ: I wouldn't be surprised if she actually physically DID add multiplayer; I get the vibe that she programmed this game in her basement by how insultingly horrible it looks graphically

@tralfaz23: I wouldn't be surprised if she was the creative force behind the game, judging by how casual it looks.

Have they no shame? They could have at least tried to make the game look half way presentable. The game looks like something released on the PSOne during it's debut year.

Yeah, like TornadoTK linked to, posted on Saturday.
Also:
Owen: "Graphics look a little clunky, but if you're dripping as much sweat as this thing promises, you probably won't care."
Michael: "...even if the graphics look clunky as hell..."
Is "clunky" the word of the week?

@Lancehead: Yeah, I think there was...I even remember posting a humorous video that was relevant to the subject. I don't go digging up Hans and Franz sketches for just anything on kotaku.

this is a duplicate post, I think Kotaku are telling us to get off our sorry asses and run round the block a couple of times.
