With today's difficult circumstances of going out and working remotely, opportunities for exercise tend to be fewer and fewer.
However, suddenly engaging in strenuous exercise may cause physical injury, so how about starting with a walk?
But just walking is boring, so you can enjoy walking while playing a game that uses location-based services.
There are many games such as "Dragon Quest Walk," "Tec-Tec-Life," and "Yurugege Sanpo," but the most popular game in the world is " Pokémon Go.
The Pokémon Company, Niantic, and Nintendo have created a hit title that is still being played around the world at this very moment.
Niantic, the creator of "Pokémon GO," and Nintendo have announced a new game.
The theme of this new game is " Pikmin"!
The theme is "making walking fun!
The new game is a smartphone application featuring Nintendo's popular character "P ikmin".
It is jointly developed by Niantic and Nintendo, and will be distributed by Niantic in the latter half of 2021.
This may sound like a " Pikmin GO " type game where you pull out Pikmin from the streets and collect them, but Tatsuo Nomura(@nomtats) of the Niantic Tokyo Studio said on Twitter, "Niantic and Nintendo are working together to create a fun game where you can walk around with Pikmin. Pikmin GO is a slightly different application that makes walking with Pikmin a fun experience. It's not "Pikmin Go" because it's not "Pikmin Go"!
