They often show these things using Call Of Dooty type games, to exhibit the running capability. It may look silly on initial inspection, but if it gets you running...

    So it's very possible... but like everything on PC, that level of stuff costs a LOT of money!!

    The Mrs bought a Wii, along with four controller nunchaku-things, a Fit board, steering wheels and a whole bunch of other weird things, along with something like 40-odd games... The discs got sold off cheap and the rest has been gathering dust for several years. No-one ever wanted to play...

    I do keep meaning to check out the Rayman stuff, though!

    I can see them being used in a gym. If a local gym had one of those? I'll go. I find CoD boring but I can live with being in a rolling hamster cage if it get me playing a game at the same time Doesn't have to be CoD though, any FPS-style gaming would do (Skyrim have been used for this).

    Thing is, you need a fair bit of space to play a lot of the Wii things... unless you like walking around on broken vases! You also need to be a fair distance from the sensor.

    If you have that kind of space, you might as well build a SimPit or use one of these VR walkaround frame thingies!
