Namco Bandai brings fitness to the Wii with Atheletic World

Konami and Nintendo aren't the only companies in town when it comes working out with video games. In 2008 Namco Bandai is going to release Family Trainer: Atheletic World for the Wii. The game comes pre-packaged with a special mat,  but the workout involves your full body. While you're jumping around you need to shake the remote too. Instead of being labelled as a workout simulation, Namco Bandai's game is a series of mini games with full body control. Since Atheletic World is still in developement it's unclear how many mini games are going to be in it and more importantly how a mat plus the Wii remote is going to immerse gamers into Family Trainer: Athletic World.
