June 12, 2008
Introducing the First Game to Integrate a Celebrity Fitness Trainer with the Wii(TM) system and the Ground-Breaking Wii Balance Board(TM)
Shed the extra weight while having fun! Majesco Entertainment Company (Nasdaq: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, is partnering with celebrity fitness trainer Jillian Michaels, the strength trainer and life coach on the popular television series “The Biggest Loser,” and Interactive Game Group to deliver the first Wii(TM) game that combines a celebrity fitness trainer and the motion-based Wii system and Wii Balance Board(TM) accessory — Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2009. Integrating a tiered fitness regimen, expert advice and exercise techniques from the charismatic Jillian Michaels, the game delivers a focused workout that will help players reach their own personal fitness goals.
“Wii and the Wii Balance Board have added a credible and effective new option for players looking to get in shape in a fun and entertaining way,” said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco. “Jillian Michaels’ expertise in the fitness world coupled with the innovative Wii Balance Board lets us deliver a compelling game that will change the way America approaches home fitness.”
“As a huge gamer myself with younger siblings and godchildren, I recognize the importance of staying current with how people digest their media and information,” said Jillian Michaels. “I truly think this type of product will be instrumental in revolutionizing the fitness industry and will help combat the childhood obesity epidemic in this country today. I couldn’t be more excited about partnering with Interactive Game Group and Majesco to bring a family-oriented fitness video game to the market.”
Frederic Chesnais, founder of Interactive Game Group (I2G), added, “This project is exactly why I created I2G — to bring talented people together and facilitate the creation and distribution of highly-innovative interactive entertainment.”
In Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2009 players become new recruits in Jillian’s boot camp where they enroll in a unique training program composed of challenging fitness tests and an ever-changing series of workouts. Players choose their workout from four types — Weight Loss, Strength Training, Intervals and Hill Climb — and set the intensity to light, medium or hard for a duration between 10 and 60 minutes. By completing exciting Wii Remote and Wii Balance Board motion-based challenges that range from crossing monkeybars to climbing ladders and rowing, players can also unlock lifestyle and fitness video tips from Jillian. Players can even track their progress based on calories burned and workout intensity. In addition, a Competitive Party Mode lets two players race against each other through entertaining individual challenges or through the entire Physical Training course to earn the winning time.
Developed by 3G Studios, Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2009 for Wii(TM) is expected to release this holiday season. For additional information about Majesco’s exciting line of products, please visit www.majescoentertainment.com.

I just think this is going to be fabulous. I am already using the WiiFit daily but I find that there are some things missing (like the ability to tell that my left side is weaker than my right side and then help me work it out). Can’t wait.

My major problem with this is I wish to pre-order and none of the usual Canada game places have ever heard of this “game”. It is not on their “lists” Is it going to be available in Canada it is already the end of August, It is available for pre-order on all the usual American sites – haven’t checked international. Whats the deal this product US only?
I Can’t find it in Canada either…
I am in Canada and ordered it on ebgames.com site a few days ago. They are now saying they are having problems placing the order and I bet it is b/c I am in Canada. I hope I can get started on this game soon.
Hey Canadians – so far it doesn’t look like ther is a CAN release date – check out ebay #330275786184 pre-order and ships to Canada!
