Although the game was hinted at in an Ubisoft promotional trailer featuring a Rabbid and the Wii Balance Board, CNET.com.au's sister GameSpot UK can confirm that those pesky Rabbids will make a return to the Nintendo Wii with Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party.

The game, as per previous installments, lets players compete in a number of minigames and includes single-player, four-player simultaneous multiplayer, and eight-player turn-based modes. It appears that the Rabbids have taken over a TV station, much to Rayman's frustration, and have hijacked movie, music, sports, fashion, and game shows, and even the ads themselves.

However, this time around, the Rabbids will be enlisting the help of the Wii Balance Board in games such as Beestie Boarding, which involves using one's rear end (on the Balance Board) to steer an upturned wildebeest down a slalom course. According to Ubisoft, this method of controlling a game is a world first.

Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party will be coming this holiday season to the Nintendo Wii. A Nintendo DS version of the game has also been announced. Ubisoft will be releasing more details on both games at its Ubidays show this week (local time) at the Louvre museum in Paris. For more on the game, read GameSpot's piping-fresh preview.
