“We were looking to the future of interaction in Family & Lifestyle products, not just as a porting of a dated experience but as a fresh new vision”, says Fabrizio Vagliasindi, Strategic Corporate Coordinator at Black Bean Games. “Get Fit With Mel B is going into that direction, trying to redesign the feeling of interaction with a trendy approach to a user interface.”

“I have always been passionate about videogames and then when I grew up my preferences moved towards fitness and wellbeing.” says Mel B. “Today I can finally mix together my two big passions, it’s been like a dream. I believe that the upcoming new technologies will definitely deliver more to the people as it is a complete entertainment experience where television show features, videogame mechanics and fitness come into a unique and exciting formula! It is like a new media era, and I want to be a pioneer!”

Get Fit With Mel B is produced by Black Bean Games and developed by the talented and UK based Lightning Fish studios. The videogame is scheduled for release in Q4 2010 for PlayStation® Move, KinectTM for Xbox 360® and WiiTM and represents a real breakthrough in the fitness genre as it is based on an exclusive proprietary engine that features a sensational full body detection system. Also, it delivers a unique, glamorous and user friendly approach to the whole content package.

In fact, thanks to the camera-based controls, you will be able to train alongside Mel B on the TV screen receiving her real-time feedback. This is definitely a great innovation that makes the Black Bean Games title a must have for every wellness enthusiast.

Mel B, the former Spice Girls member as well as the Official 2010 Fitness First testimonial, is the host of the Oxygen Media second season of hit dance/weight-loss competition series “Dance Your Ass Off”.
