Namco Wii dance mat game for Europe News

Wii News by Robert Purchese

13 May, 2008

Atari is going to bring the Namco Bandai-developed Family Trainer to Europe this September.

This is the Wii-exclusive title that comes with its own dance mat for "total body gameplay", according to this press release. It's called Active Life: Athletic World in the US.

Family Trainer has you doing all sorts of things like rafting on the river, racing mine carts, jumping over logs or just skipping ropes. You can do it on your own because you'd rather no one watch, or with and against friends because you are drunk and have given up caring. All on one mat.

And the ones at the back are not even playing!

There are lots of colourful locations to look silly in, such as haunted houses complete with zombies, or fairytale worlds where you can ride on toys in the clouds.

The generic Wii lifestyle family in generic Wii lifestyle house strikes again!

It was only a matter of time I suppose. I'm amazed that they didn't make special Wii ankle sensors and forget the mat.

Does anyone's house/flat/apartment/cardboard box actually LOOK anything like those on TV?

1.) I think to find an spacious apartment like that in Japan, you would need to staple four together.

2.) What the hell is up with that dance mat? Seriously, look at it - two half directional crosses stuck together? The dude on the left couldn't even put his foot down if he wanted!

...of course, that would be OK if the game were designed only for specific styles of dance.
