Namco Bandai announces new Family Trainer

Publisher Namco Bandai is to release a second instalment to its Family Trainer franchise on Wii this autumn in the UK.

Family Trainer: Extreme Challenge will again utilise both the WiiMote and Namco’s own Family Trainer Mat and will boast activities such as wakeboarding, rock climbing and base jumping.

The title’s calorie-burning credentials will again be touted in the marketing, though the shift from aerobic style exercises to extreme-sports stylings, and indeed the new cel-shaded graphics, will hopefully appeal to a new demographic.
