GameStop letting the rabbids out of the bag early?
If you're looking to score a copy early, you might want to hit up your local GameStop, as Joshua suggests. They might do the same thing for you. And if you're looking for some video from the game, hit up Joshua's site here.

Rabbids rave about fitness
One of the best parts of the Raving Rabbids TV Party concept is that it can be stretched to make fun of almost anything. If there has ever been a TV show on a subject, TV Party can parody it. Thus "MISS FIT," a Rabbid fitness show starring a bearded Rabbid called Chuckie Morris, uses references to Chuck Norris's late night Total Gym infomercials as a cover for a parody of Wii Fit. The most hilarious bit about MISS FIT to us is that it's really not all that different from Wii Fit!
Other new videos at IGN feature the return of the rhythm and rail shooting games from previous Rabbids, as well as a sort of maze adventure in which players control the balls inside a lottery machine.
Raving Rabbids: Figurine Party
Coolest of all, Ubisoft will sell a box including the four Rabbids mentioned along with a blank Rabbid designed for DIY decoration. This Rabbid is available on its own on ubiart.com right now! Dea Ubisoft: American gamers have space on their meticulously organized, dusted shelves as well!

Rabbids -- Raving Rabbids
The latest teaser video for Raving Rabbids TV Party is short, but entertaining. A mini-trailer, perhaps, for minigames! It's also delightfully timely! More like Quantum of Lol-ace, amirite? We're not sure what it is about these little guys. We get the routine already -- they're loud and stupid and pull faces -- but for some reason, we're nowhere near tired of them yet.
After the break, a trailer from last week that eschews movie parody in favor of actual gameplay, as well as the "happy friends in front of couch" footage we've come to expect from our Wii trailers. Somehow, TV Party interprets "wrestling" as "whacking each other with plungers."

Wii Warm Up: Living room surfing
Have you taken part in any non-Wii Fit-related Wii wobbling? What did you think of the experience? Do you look forward to any future Board-compatible games?

Rabbids go hog wild with farm equipment
IGN has uploaded a pair of new videos showing off minigames for the upcoming Raving Rabbids TV Party. The video above focuses on the minigame Monster Tractors, which, you guessed it, has you racing around the farm on tractors. Of course, with this being a Raving Rabbids game, it's not your normal tractor race. These are some souped-up tractors of epic proportions racing about in a highly comical fashion. Man, we love those crazy little rabbids.
After you check out the video above, head on past the break to see video from the Mega Balls minigame. It's, uh ... weird.

Rabbid and Rabbid at the Olympic Games
Raving Rabbids TV Party is all about making fun of TV programming -- and what is more televised than the Olympics? It's natural, then, that Ubisoft would release some silly trailers showing their new mascot characters running rampant through Olympic events in Beijing. Also there are probably some Olympic-style minigames in the actual game.
The latest trailer, above, combines the usual yelling-based Rabbid humor with some classic Bugs Bunny. We've embedded the last Olympic-style clip, from last week, after the break. It's also funny, yes, but it also makes us feel genuinely bad for the poor, stupid Rabbid for the first time, because it looks profoundly painful.

Balance Board taking over Rabbids TV Party, blog makes butt joke
Ubisoft rather likes money, and therefore is enamored by the best-selling Balance Board. Perhaps this is why the range of Balance Board-compatible minigames in Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party has been stretched, to the point where half of the 75 games will feature Balance Board support -- previously, that figure was one-third. We guess Ubisoft really wants to see you playing with your butt more, amirite lol?!
"Hilarity" aside, offering greater Balance Board compatibility makes perfect sense. There's a gap in the market for Balance Board games that aren't Wii Fit right now (only We Ski is currently on store shelves), and Balance Board owners are probably looking for something else to play, now they've perfected their Sun Salutation.

E308: Buns-on with Raving Rabbids TV Party
E308: Rabbids TV Party flexes its muscle
Once you start looking for butt, you realize that it's everywhere. Just check out this screenshot -- you've got a rabbid clinging to this poor bovine creature's ass with his ass ... and what's the move called? Backside tail grab. Listen, we're not insinuating anything about Ubisoft here. We're just pointing out the obvious.

Raving Rabbids balancing out their wacky life [update 2]
[Update: Screens available in our gallery!]After solving a moon mystery, the more astute Fanboy readers noticed the inclusion of a rather understated header on the latest cover of Nintendo Power. The game formerly known as Raving Rabbids 3 will henceforth be known as Raving Rabbids TV Party, as if we needed a reminder to plug our Wii into the TV instead of some shrubbery out the back.
Despite the Rabbids showing us how the Balance Board ought to be used, we couldn't confirm that the next addition to the series would go nuts with the whole leaning and weight-shifting thing. However, the teaser wasn't teasing and among TV Party's 65 mini-games, many (maybe even most) will use the Balance Board.
If using Wii Fit was enough to make your friends laugh stupidly (they are right to do so), then getting down with these crazy critters is enough for them to consider finding new people to hang out with.
