Have you gotten tired of your plain old white Wii just sitting there, looking painfully boring and boasting a distinct lack of Disney’s flagship character? Then this ought to put a smile on your face. Game-industry legend Warren Spector’s newest baby, Epic Mickey, is getting a nifty collector’s edition if this Toys ‘R Us product listing is to be believed.

In the box you’ll find a copy of Epic Mickey (obviously), a behind-the-scenes DVD that’ll likely feature all the usual making-of videos (along with some extra stuff), an Epic Mickey-themed faceplate for your Wii remote and two skins for the console itself so you can pretty up your Wii. Also in that special packaging is a five-inch vinyl figure of the game’s beloved protagonist.

Here, have a pretty picture so you can see all the swag for yourself.

 Toys ‘R Us has their pre-order price listed as $69.99 (around R560). No word yet on local pricing or whether it’ll even be available here in SA.

Publisher Black Bean has just released some more screenshots and information about its upcoming Wii fitness title, NewU Fitness: First Personal Trainer, which is currently in development by Lightning Fish. This latest attempt to get gamers exercising, or at least moving something other than their thumbs, aims to be the complete workout package. In addition to giving gamers the ability to monitor and keep track of their meals and calorie intakes, it will also allow them to set up and work out a programme for themselves according to specific goals – just as if they had their own personal trainer. These goals fall into four categories: Sport, Shape, General Health, and Special. I know that non-gamers or the more casual gamers are quite taken with this stuff, but I wonder how many hardcore gamers would be into it?

Apparently all in-game fitness routines will be presented by Julie Seymour
