Family Trampoline
Namco Bandai's Family Trainer (or Active Life: Outdoor Challenge here) may not gauge your weight or balance like Wii Fit does, but you can jump for real. Instead of absentmindedly jumping in the middle of the tightrope game and being admonished for it, Family Trainer lets you take off. It's one of the advantages of the low-tech controller. Along with floppiness. Is that an advantage? It sure seems like one.
This ability means that Family Trainer can feature a trampoline game like the one in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, with the addition of real jumping. Like the Olympic trampoline event, sequential jumps increase in height, allowing the player to score points with controller motions while airborne. Jumping looks like a lot more fun when you're ... jumping.
