@Shinryoma: let your imagination run wild!

kitsuneconundrum

Dude, that is awesome.
It amazes me sometimes seeing what people can come up with.

@kitsuneconundrum: I thought the lack of pockets would cause a problem.

@Umandsf: @Blazinfire0: Wii Fit. not Wii Sports

teh_joe

@Umandsf: @Blazinfire0: I'm Almost positive this is a PC program comsidering that you can connect the Wiimote to a PC via bluetooth.

SAKY

is someone could figure out how to hook this mod up so that it looks like your running atop roofs and free running and such, that would be pretty sweet. or nintendo could make a peripheral treadmill and have it work with the mod so i can streak through tokyo.

SPitFyRe666

This could be useful for agrophobic joggers. And smokers, i get so sick of feeling judged whilst I'm smoking and jogging.

@icepick314: post is full of LOL and WIN.

you didn't even need the links. lol

zanzibarlegend

finally, nudists can now jog through town in the privacy of their own homes.

kitsuneconundrum

so is that Wiimote in your pocket or are you happy to see Asuka Sawamoto's flashing butt?

Jogging in wii sports you say? I was un aware that I could jog in wii sports which game allows me to do that?

This is of course somewaht interesting and I think gyms should employ similar tech so those who exercise using treadmills could feel as if they were not simply jogging in place but exploring cities such as tokyo

Blazinfire0

Now that looks cool! Next step- jog thru your neighbourhood without leaving the house.

Gossy

Cue the "You should just run in Tokyo for real, because this won't give you any real exercise." comments, enter stage left.

The_Inquisitor

Interesting, but I never realized that Wii Sports has a jogging option.

Umandsf

@The_Inquisitor: It's typhoon season in TKY right now, so jogging outside = soggy clothes. This also allows people the option of jogging in places that they wouldn't dare jog normally- I think anyone, if prompted with the question "would you jog in (downtown) Shibuya," they'd say they would be too embarassed.

denki

argh, look out for that car!!

@SAKY:

And how pray tell does that have to do with my statement?

@teh_joe:
Ahem DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

You do not have to tell me that. Perhaps maybe Mr Ashcraft requires it to be pointed out. I'm realtively certain that Umandsf and myself are well aware that jogging is in wii fit. However it may have mystified us that somebody reporting on news of the industry would make such mistakes since we consider kotaku to of course be a credible source of news in realtion to the gaming industry.

In future bless those who may very well need your "wisdom" with it and those who may have equal or greater knowledge than yourself rather than insult them with such comments

Blazinfire0

Or you can "exercise" my pressing the arrow key in a certain direction. You can also get exercise by playing that controversial massively multiplayer title Outside.

lighten up, morrissey

"The interface looks somewhat slow - but there's potential here!"

It's not slow due to any shortcomings on the programmer's part. Remember that Google Streetview is taken from a moving vehicle, and only takes a picture every 10 feet or so.

Babylonian

Didn't know there was Google Street View for Tokyo!

lumpi

"It works pretty much like Jogging in Wii Sports: Users put the"

Wii Sports? Since when can we jog in Wii Sports?

Did you mean Wii Fit?

Glare

@The_Inquisitor: Give them a minute, they are still bitching at the people who are good at Rock Band and Guitar Hero but don't play a real instrument.

Quicksilver4648

I demand a jurassic park fitness game... NOW.

Jog through jungles trying to escape hungry raptors...

Climb trees / dinosaur bones to escape a hungry T-rex.

Grab and hurl compy's off you before you mauled to death

I'm sure there are a lot more scenarios that could be added to this....

strix

@denki: More so that you really can't jog in these places, if you tried to jog in Shibuya would end up jogging in place because of the crowds.

Aodh

@denki: I think in my whole time in Tokyo, I saw one person jogging ever, and it was like, way out on the bridge between Tokyo and Chiba near Urayasu. I would imagine you're right -- people would be too embarrassed because of the crowds (and also jogging does not seem like something a lot of Jp people do, anyway).

kimsama

..you mean wii fit? amateurs..

schlizzag

That is some great potential there. Finally I can run across Tokyo without dropping 2k for just the flight and the visitation expenses!

Mike's Stalker

High genius. Needs more cities.

Slatz_Grobnik

That's pretty neat.
You can get exercise while planning your Tokyo vacation!

em

Too bad we in the US can't even see Japan's streetview on google maps... at least last time I checked.

DavidFU

This is awesome!
We can JOG THE STREETS OF TOYKO.... on TV!!!! ALL THIS in your TOYKO HOME!!!!

gothamdarkknight

Pretty awesome, they ought to do it in London where there's plenty of CCTV coverage for real time footage of the city.

Kintama

Or you could go out side and run! And actually get fit
