For quite some time I noticed my nephew as well as wifey’s younger brother are more attach to playing video games as compared to physical games. This is not a good indication at all since kids must be playing physical games to help them get stronger bones. Well, this may not be the case if the product by 2K Play and the media conglomerate Nickelodeon will launch a new fitness video game for kids.
The two have announced that they are entering into an agreement linked to the development of a new fitness video game, the first to be aimed directly at kids. Nickelodeon Fit will be released exclusively for the Nintendo Wii home console and development duties are handled by High Voltage Software. 2K Play has not offered a clear launch date for the new fitness game, but it seems that those interested will be able to pick it up during the fall.
Nickelodeon Fit will offer 30 exercise mini games, the main targets being the cardiovascular system, core muscles, balance, motor skill development and core muscles.
The game also aims to improve the coordination abilities of those who play. Each of the mini games uses a well-known character from Nickelodeon shows. Dora will bring a pogo stick along; rope jumping will involve the Backyardigans, while Diego will appear in the river rafting game. The Wiimote and the Balance Board will be used by the player for the fitness activities. Parents will have access to features allowing them to see how their kids are doing and they also have the options to actually customize the workout schedules of those who use Nickelodeon Fit.
This is a good sign that those kids will be healthier than just sitting in front of their computer. Hopefully, it gets to the market before those kids reach their teen years.
