Konami’s fitness revolution

By Spencer . June 13, 2007 . 8:13am

Konami has made a pretty penny by marketing Dance Dance Revolution as an exercise tool and their next extension of the DDR franchise focuses on fitness. Groove Motion DDR is more like an automated fitness class than foot stomping game you've seen in the arcades. You can follow a martial arts routine or practice Yoga by following the movements on screen while a motion sensor attached to the player registers calorimetric data. Besides Groove Motion DDR, Konami has another full motion DDR game in development, Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party for the Wii.
