Square Enix Branches Out to Yoga

10:00PM Brian Ashcraft | Square Enix doesn’t *just* do Final Fantasy re-makes and spin-offs. It also does Dragon Quest remakes and Kingdom Hearts spin-offs. And, erm, yoga games. Even though Konami has moved on from yoga to Pilates, Square Enix is offering DS de Hajimeru Tipness no Yoga, which was developed in connection with Japanese health club Tipness. Sadly, the in-game characters look decidedly normal. Frosted hair, leather capes and yoga posing could’ve really worked! Square Enix Yoga? [Game Watch Impress] More »

Screw DS Yoga, We’re All About DS Pilates

11:00PM Brian Ashcraft | Konami’s made a yoga game for the DS, called Dokodemo Yoga (”Anywhere Yoga”). Somewhat of a niche title, but makes sense — Konami does own a chain of sports clubs in Japan. Though, hot on the heels of the yoga game, comes another back bending Konami title: Dokodemo Pilates (”Anywhere Pilates”). Pilates? Yes, Pilates! You too can learn to control your muscles and improve posture via your Nintendo DS. Basically, it’s the equivalent of an instructional video on your DS. Not sure if Pilates is even more niche than yoga or what. I personally look forward to more of these Dokodemo games from Konami. They haven’t quite reached kooky, yet. Almost there!
