Nintendo teams up with Fitness First
Nintendo has launched a new fitness video game which has been created in collaboration with health club chain Fitness First.
The games company is hoping for the NewU Fitness First Personal Trainer to top the Christmas wish list this year on the back of the success of its WiiFit concept. According to Nintendo, advance orders from UK retailers have "exceeded all expectations".
Due for release in mid-September, the product offers goal-based training, with the option to work out with one of four personal trainers.
It's said to be the first product of its kind to feature a video throughout, which provides interactive training sessions. The video game also includes nutritional advice, which the designers have developed in conjunction with the people behind the TV programme You Are What You Eat.
There are now 24 million gaming consoles in the UK: the same number as there are UK households.
