The game features yoga, strength training, cardio, and balance mini-games designed to improve fitness and coordination. Best of all you can use it with the original Wii and the follow-up Wii U.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft\u2019s Kinect was another promising exercise accessory, though games released for the platform never lived up to the promise. In particular, the Kinect versions of games like\u00a0<em>Dance Central<\/em> were unique in that they didn\u2019t require you to hold a controller in your hand and instead measured your success level using the Kinect sensor.
