Atari Family Trainer for Nintendo Wii: get fit with outside games

No one can deny the success of the Nintendo Wii Fit and how great it is to keep you fit as well as perfecting your balance, but one thing that I have noticed, it does not work your legs as much as it could do. Well Atari have been working on a solution to this and have come up with Family Trainer, which is a new physical game that is aimed at for the whole family and also comes with its very own mat controller. Atari have said that Family Trainer will allow “all the family and friends get physical by engaging the whole body in a variety of easy-to-understand, fast-paced and wildly entertaining activities.”

This new game will come with more than twelve different challenges all of which incorporate outside activities, these include rope skipping, mine karting, log jumping, river rafting and many more. So if you get a little bored with your Wii Fit then why not make working out fun for you and the whole family with Family Trainer. All of these games are made for fun which is why Atari have made these multiplayer outdoor challenges.

The new mat controller works in conjunction with the Wii Remote so that players can get physical with all the challengers that the new game has to offer. I hope that the image of the mat above is not the finished product as it reminds me of the cheap plastic dance mat. I have had many incidents where I have been dancing on the mat and it keeps slipping, it is an accident waiting to happen. Controls for the game have been kept simple and very easy to pick up, this allows for maximum fun for you and your family. What better way to bring a family together than to get fit as well as have fun at the same time. The Nintendo Wii has done more for family life than any counselor could ever hope to achieve.

Expect to see the Atari Family Trainer for the Wii in stores this September.
