While Sony and Microsoft prepare to roll out their respective motion-centric game system add-ons this fall, Nintendo isn’t taking it lying or sitting down. The company, which has essentially danced its way to the bank with the Nintendo Wii, now will let gamers do the dancing. This week Ubisoft announced that Gold’s Gym Dance Workout is available for gamers to shake their way to better fitness.
The game offers a variety of dance routines with workouts that include Latin dance styles, as well as choreographed boxing dances and even mini-games that target specific muscle groups. Gold Gym Dance Workout includes multiple training modes to appeal to a range of fitness levels, whilst the difficulty of the gameplay can evolve as the player’s actual fitness level increases. Virtually players can hit the gym and visit some of the most iconic locations, including those in Japan, Egypt, India, Australia or even the legendary Gold’s Gym in Venice Beach.
The game supports a two-person co-op mode, so you don’t have dance alone either. Players can further burn calories by taking part in the various mini-games, which include canoeing, bull dodging, jump rope and more. Gold’s Gym Dance Workout is also compatible with the Wii Balance Board, and it allows players to create their own circuit program or even have one created specifically for them. The programs include continuous dancing as well as mini-games so as to get a full cardio workout, where exercise history, calories burned and body mass index are stored allowing users to track their weight loss and fitness goals.
In addition, each game comes with a seven day VIP pass to workout at a Gold’s Gym. Gold’s Gym Dance Workout is available now for the Nintendo Wii (MSRP: $29.99). Time to dance.
