The Wii is about to get another workout from publisher Konami, seeking a bigger slice of the console’s fitness hungry userbase with Walk It Out, the game that brings the thrill of walking outside to your living room.
With a soundtrack that spans more than a hundred songs, players will… well, they’ll walk. Walk It Out employs the Wii Balance Board as well as Konami’s own Dance Dance Revolution controller for accurate stepping action. It also supports plain old Wii Remote and Nunchuk for the peripheral phobic.
Konami’s no stranger to staying in shape, having already shipped Let’s Yoga and Let’s Pilates for the Nintendo DS and run a fairly successful fitness business in Japan. Walk your way to screens of virtual walking that-a-way.
