Active Screens: Outdoor Challenge

by JC Fletcher { May 27th 2008 at 1:15PM }


We kind of wonder if the Wii Fit hype will help or hurt Namco Bandai's Active Life: Outdoor Challenge. People may become interested in exercise games in general as a result of Nintendo's entry into the genre, or they may feel that their foot-based gaming needs are met sufficiently by Wii Fit, with no need for other games or peripherals.

Regardless of whether or not it's good business to release a fitness game with its own peripheral after Wii Fit, we can't help but think that Active Life looks like fun. Not "fun for an exercise game," but fun. Just looking at this speed skating screenshot (which doesn't look particularly outdoor to us) makes us want to try it. Looks like we'll have to make room for another peripheral!
