it's seems that namco bandai are releasing their very own version of wii fit. It will combine a mat with sensors built in, as well as the wii remote to allow full interactivity with the set of minigames included.
Personally if I get one, it'll be wii fit, this jsut doesn't appeal all that much. but if it can too open possibilities for use in other games then I'm all for it. What do you guys think?
Stop me if you’ve heard this one: there’s a game coming out for the Wii that features several athletic mini-games that use a special pad that you stand on. Sounds like Wii Fit, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not; it’s actually “Active Life: Athletic World†from Namco Bandai. The game will utilize a custom mat containing eight sensor pads that you stand on. More than 10 mini-games will have you using both the mat and the Wii-mote to essentially exercise while moving through obstacle courses, white water rafting, and doing other activities. The game also supports multiplayer matches that can use a single mat, and it can track players’ accomplishments in the game. Says Makoto Iwai, Executive VP and COO of Namco Bandai:
“By combining the motion-based Wii Remote and a custom gaming mat to create an entirely unique gaming experience, Active Life: Athletic World delivers unprecedented interactivity as players use their whole body to take control of the game. With a wide assortment of timeless games that everyone can enjoy as well as cooperative and competitive multiplayer elements, Active Life: Athletic World is sure to get the whole family off the couch and into the fun.â€ÂÂ
Expect to see Active Life: Athletic World hit store shelves next year.
