What is the Nintendo Wii Family Trainer Dancing Mat Controller for?
Posted On: March 24, 2023

There is some kind of weird dance controller for the Wii.


What's this for? What games are compatible with it?


Question from user Ender at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

"Family Trainer" is a Japanese game by Namco, and could be considered a competitor to the Wii Fit.


In the US, the game was retitled "Active Life: Outdoor Challenge".


The controller also works with the game's two sequels, Active Life: Extreme Challenge and Active Life: Explorer.


It also seems like this controller uses the GameCube ports on the top of the Wii to connect, which would make it incompatible with the Wii Family Edition, which lacks them.
