If you loved working out on your Wii with Wii Fit, you might be in luck. Nintendo tweeted out a video teasing a new workout device for the Nintendo Switch with a full reveal on September 12th.ย 

The video, which is about a minute and a half long, highlights this new, unnamed device. The circular device is flexible; people in the video are stretching the equipment out. A leg strap looks to be a part of the kit as well. You will slide one Joy-Con into each device. Multiple active movements are shown throughout the trailer, which has lead many people believing this is a workout device of sorts, similar to the Wii Fit board from all those years ago.

Check out this first look at a new experience for #NintendoSwitch. Stay tuned for more information on 9/12. pic.twitter.com/SUXn4CQpP8

The video also shows off a handful of cities, such as Paris, France and Madrid, Spain. Itโ€™s not known if this means the โ€œgameโ€ will feature these cities, or if it means this game will have worldwide appeal, but we donโ€™t have too much longer to find out.

This isnโ€™t the first time Nintendo has created a workout device for their console. The aforementioned Wii Fit board launched with the game and focused on making players get a healthy lifestyle through simple workouts and yoga. Nintendo also tried experimenting with a heart rate sensor called the Wii Vitality Sensor. First introduced in 2009, the project was finally canceled in 2013 and has since become a long-running joke in the Nintendo community.

The Switch has, so far, been the host of a handful of wacky peripherals as well. Nintendo Labo kits are a variety of cardboard boxes that the player builds before implementing them into a mini-game. Nintendo has already launched a robot kit, a driving kit, and a VR-focused kit.

What do you think of this new workout device? Do you think itโ€™ll be a hit like Wii Fit? Or do you think itโ€™ll be more like the Wii Vitality Sensor? Let us know in the comments below.
