'Rayman' on Wii to offer 'bum control'

Ubisoft has announced a third iteration of its Rayman Raving Rabbids series will offer 'bum control' using the Wii Balance Board.

Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party, which is being developed for both Wii and DS, will include over 65 mini games that are a parody of established TV, music and movie franchises.

The Wii game, which features a storyline involving the Rabbids taking over the player's TV, will see players use their buttocks to steer characters via the Wii Balance Board.

"The Rayman Raving Rabbids titles have been an immense success, entertaining the world over," said Yves Guillemot, president and chief executive officer of Ubisoft.

"The inclusion of the Wii Balance Board into the game was a huge source of inspiration for our development team and I guarantee you will see the Wii Balance Board used in ways that will be surprisingly unexpected."

Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party is scheduled for release this Christmas.
