Ubisoft has released a new video for Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party titled ‘Rabbids Can’t Play Football’ to celebrate Euro 2008.

Well worth the watch but we would probably appreciate it more if anyone cared to translate it.

The game sees the Rabbids taking over the TV’s channels, from music to movies to TV ads. In Story Mode players will play through a week of TV with each day presenting new challenges and mini-games, some making use of the Wii Balance Board. Up to eight players can participate in Turn-based mode and four players simultaneously. Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party will be available for the Wii and Nintendo DS at the end of 2008.

Another title to be confirmed at yesterday’s Ubidays 2008 was Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party. Ubisoft had previously hinted that the next Rayman title might make use of Nintendo’s Wii Fit Balance Board in the teaser video titled ‘Rabbids Secrets to Health and Happiness.’

Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party will launch for the Wii and Nintendo DS this holiday season. The game sees the Rabbids invading TVs around the world with players engaging in various games and comedic exploits “spoofing TV shows, pop culture and even advertisements.”

Play the game using what?

Players will be able to use the Balance Board, Wii Remote and Nunchuk for the Wii version which will feature over 65 mini-games. Up to four players can play simultaneously while up to eight players can engage in the new turn-based party mode. Players will also be able to customize their bunny, take his photo and send it to friends online.

The game will feature innovative ways to play with eight types of game play including shaking, precision, dexterity and balance. It was even demonstrated at Ubidays 2008 that some games may require the player to play the game with their derriere on the Balance Board, apparently a world first.

Ubisoft touted the fact that over 22 million units of Rayman titles have been sold worldwide before promising to reveal more details about Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party at E3.

“The Rayman Raving Rabbids titles have been an immense success, entertaining the world over,” said Yves Guillemot, president and chief executive officer, Ubisoft. “The inclusion of the Wii Balance Board into the game was a huge source of inspiration for our development team and I guarantee you will see the Wii Balance Board used in ways that will be surprisingly unexpected!”
