I never tried that one, but I also had a recent late-to-the-party "gaming as exercise" discovery: Beat Saber! I never gelled with rhythm games before I got a VR headset, but I'm really digging it, and it totally gets me sweating after a while.
A friend of mine wrote some software and ended up using one of those as a foot mouse.
I worked on a game that supports it. It was total shit compared to playing with a controller. Nintendo dev tools were fucking archaic at the time which made it suck to work with. What are you playing?
Is the balance board the same as the normal wii fit? Cause I remember playing it a ton shortly after it came out. My aunt and uncle had one, and so did my grandpa; I remember loving the skateboard mini game, and Wii Sports Resort I think had a few games that used it too.
I also remember it helping me lose weight too.
I really wanted a social component to the Wii Fit game. Like jogging on the same track as the one in the game but like, you see your friends or even just strangers’ avatars jogging nearby that you can high five.
Got my wife one recently. She like the yoga bits, in guess. But, it's in the closet.
Wii is still set up...what games are you digging?
There is a pose from Wii Fit yoga that still haunts me with how much it hurt to do the first few times. The one where you go arns out with one foot planted on the thigh of your other leg and then you have to maintain your balance for like 60 seconds or something. It stretched muscles I didn't even know existed.
Crysis, the first one. I had played 2 before around when it came out but i was barely old enough to be congizant, its interesting seeing backwards sorta, how the mechanics evolve from the first to the second installment.
Pretty damn good stealth mechanic honestly, holds up pretty well, makws you feel like a super soldier if engaged eith correctly.
