Waluigi to Fitness (「ワルイージとフィットネス」 Waruīji to Fittonesu, meaning "Waluigi and Fitness") is a QOL personal trainer planned for release as a Wii U application in 2016[1] in Japan and TBA elsewhere.
Development
Upon seeing the poor sales of Wii Fit U, Satoru Iwata wondered what caused the game's sizable drop in performance. After much debating in Nintendo's R&D department, it was agreed that the clean, sterile art direction of the Touch Generation line had gone stale and that a drastic shift in visual direction was needed, starting with a host character who is "cool, cute and appealing – someone you want to show your pecs to"[2].
After much deliberation, it was agreed that Waluigi was the "obvious choice" thanks to his "sleek, slender frame", reputed physical prowess and origin as a sports game character[3]. Some sources speculates that Waluigi's popularity among the elusive 17-24 female demographic was also a factor[4].
Confirmed activities
- Yoga[5]
- Martial art training. As a self proclaimed god of close quarter combat, Waluigi hosts a 10-steps training regiment for Taekwondo, which concludes with a real-time combat sequence. The development team hopes to make more martial arts such as Krav Maga available as downloadable content in the future[6].
