This kind of lazy ignorant herd mentality isn't anything new, even if it's depressing. Something hits big, and then a ton of other people try to copy it with a complete lack of understanding of why the original product was a hit in the first place. Then a bunch of look-alikes flood the market and all fail to come remotely close to the original.
It’s funny how many hints and openings Nintendo has given 3rd party developers with their own games, and how poorly they’ve done to capitalize on them. Something like Wii Play seemed to be almost a set of blueprints on how to do certain types of gameplay. Yet there’s still not definitive Pool or Fishing game on the Wii, or if there is the people who published decided to not tell anyone about it.
Surprised to hear My Fitness Coach is actually Do It Yourself Fitness repackaged with features missing. But that sort of cheap and shameful exploitation of other companies work is fairly common practice from Ubisoft.
Hard to say how EA’s game will turn out. They’ve been very hit and miss with the Wii. Reading up on EA Sports Active, it does promising. They’ll definitely market it, not sure how well though. They’re marketing for Boom Blox and Skate it was relatively poor. (But they at least paid for a lot of it.)
Ironic the best 3rd Party workout game on the Wii is a dirty port of a 3-year old piece of software that another far more devoted company slaved away on that Ubisoft didn’t bother to adopt to the Wii other then menu navigation apparently according to you.
