Wii Fit", "Ring Fit Adventure"and " Fit Boxing " by Nintendo, and many other games that combine games and exercise have become big hits.
Even people who don't usually exercise can become more interested in the game aspect of exercise, and they are more likely to stick with it if they think they can complete it in a short period of time.
In particular, the more you like games, the more you often end up getting a lot of exercise while thinking about one more stage to go.
A new title in the game x exercise genre has just been released!
Namco Bandai has released "Family Trainer" exclusively for Nintendo Switch !
It's like an athletic game in your own home!
Family Trainer" is an interactive athletic game in which players attach the Joy-Cons to their legs with "leg bands" and link their running and jumping movements with the characters in the game.
The leg bands can be used with the "Ring Fit Adventure" software included with the Nintendo Switch.
Log Jumping " - run and jump to avoid logs rolling in front of you as you aim for the goal.
Trolley Adventure," in which players explore a cave on a trolley by swinging the Joy-Con to accelerate and jumping over interrupted rails.
Mole Panic," in which players aim with the Joy-Con in their hands and stomp on moles that jump out of the way with their legs.
The game offers 15 different attractions that allow you to move your body with all your might.
In addition to family fun, there is also a " Exercise Training" program, so you can continue to enjoy training that suits you, such as " Upper Body Training " and " Simple Training in 5 minutes a day.
The game also features a " Play with Two " mode, which allows two players to play all attractions together as long as they have two sets of Joy-Cons and two leg bands.
With two sets of Joy-Cons and two leg bands, all attractions can be played by two people.
Free Trial Version Available Now!
In the game x exercise genre, you often end up not being able to play the game you purchased because it requires more space than you expectedto play it or because it makes more noise than you expected due to foot stomping, etc.
Also, some people have never played this genre of game and would like to try playing it in person, even if only for a short while, right?
For those people, a free trial version of "Family Trainer" has been available since Thursday, December 17, 2020!
In the trial version, you can play the aforementioned " Log Jump " and " Canoe R afting," so if you are curious about what kind of game it is, please give it a try.
However! You will need a "leg band" to attach the Joy-Con to your leg in order to play, so only those who already have a leg band can play!
If you already have the leg bands, you will most likely have the " Ring Fit Adventure," but the "Ring Fit Adventure" itself has been in short supply, so you are limited.
The leg bands themselves are available at the official Namco Bandai Entertainment Asobi Store and from third-party retailers, but honestly speaking, there is no other use for them, so purchasing one to play the demo version is a bit of a hurdle.
If you do not have a leg band, you may want to skip the demo version and consider the full version, since the "Family Trainer" package comes with one leg band.
The demo version is a relatively high hurdle to overcome, but it can be downloaded from the My Nintendo Store or the Nintendo eStore on the Nintendo Switch, so if you have the leg bands, go ahead and try it!
Athletic fun for everyone!
The "Family Trainer" will be available for purchase on Thursday, December 17, 2020!
The packaged version will cost 4,980 yen (excluding tax) with one leg band necessary to play , while the downloadable version without leg band will cost 3,980 yen (excluding tax ).
Please note that if two players are playing together, another set ofleg bands and another set of Joy-Cons, priced at 1,000 yen (excluding tax and shipping costs), will be required.
Many exercise-related games are played stoically by a single player, but "Family Trainer" is a title that can be played with family and friends in a fun and lively way, partly because it includes a "play with others" mode.
This winter, it is difficult to go outside, and many people are concerned about lack of exercise.
Let's all get in shape with " Screaming Yenaka Athletic " during family gatherings during the year-end and New Year's holidays!
