The Black Eyed Peas Experience for Kinect and Wii

The game of the year is nearly here, and it’s pumpin’ to get you jumpin’ and rockin’ to get you floppin’ all over your living room floor, Fergie-style. The Black Eyed Peas Experience has been announced for Xbox 360 (using Kinect, naturally) and Wii with a new promo video, and we think it’s safe to say it blows those dinky Modern Warfare 3 trailers out of the water.

The Black Eyed Peas are the second Experience installment, following Michael Jackson, because they’re totally on the same level of pop iconhood. Ubisoft is set to release The Black Eyed Peas Experience "soon," but you can check out the trailer right now, after the jump.

Nintendo: Wii Fit Plus Announcement Next Week?

You guys down with Wii Fit or what? Loose talk around the internet seems to indicate that we’ll all be hearing about something called Wii Fit Plus at E3 next week.

Back in April, Nintendo apparently filed a Japanese patent for Wii Fit Plus along with the above logo. Certain financial analysts are speculating that the game will be targeted towards existing Wii Fit users and will be sold both as a standalone title and as part of a bundle — presumably with the Balance Board.

I’d say it all makes sense. There aren’t a huge amount of exercises in Wii Fit and there hasn’t been any downloadable content as far as being able to purchase new exercises, so some sort of expansion pack that adds a bunch of new strength training, yoga poses, and mini games seems perfectly logical.

Also, stay tuned for our upcoming Fitness Week here at CrunchGear. I’ll be comparing Wii Fit to EA SPORTS Active for those of you trying to decide on a fitness game for the Wii.

The 3-in-1 Retro Adapter for the Wii

Technology moves so quickly that many gadgets get tossed out and forgotten.  However, gamers aren’t always so quick to toss aside old gear.  After spending so much time bonding with and getting used to an old controller, using a new one is just never as good.  There is the Classic Controller that was created for the Wii, but it’s still just not the same.  So for those that still have their old Nintendo controllers, now you can put them to good use on your Wii.

This 3-in-1 adapter will allow for you to hook up the original NES, Nintendo 64 and Super Nintendo controllers to your Wii.  For those of you that tossed out your old controller, you might want to be on the lookout for replacements.  Komodo and Innex are supposed to be officially announcing the adapter at this year’s E3.  It’s supposed to be priced right around $19.99 once it does come out.  Of course, that won’t be until mid-June, which isn’t all that far off.

Punch-Out!! Coming To The Wii on May 18

Nintendo just announced a May 18 release date for Punch-Out!!, giving Little Mac plenty of time to find a pair of diminutive gloves just his size before he waggles back into the ring this Summer.

The game is among the more hotly-anticipated efforts in Nintendo’s coming lineup, promising a return to form as everyone’s favorite underdog throws down against the likes of Soda Popinski and King Hippo.

According to sources, both are downing crates of Jolt and cheeseburgers on their road to get back into fighting shape.
