A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

EDIT: i should've mentioned that the actual game is wii fit!!

i didn't think much of it when it came out, but i never woulda thought it could be this effective. its too bad this kind of game didn't get bigger?

I really wanted a social component to the Wii Fit game. Like jogging on the same track as the one in the game but like, you see your friends or even just strangers’ avatars jogging nearby that you can high five.

Like Zwift.

Hm, never heard of it, but after looking at it— yeah kinda, I was thinking of something more MMO-y though. Still looks cool!

I have two mobile games that use your steps as progress in an RPG environment:

WalkScape Inspired by RuneScape. Walk to explore and level up skills like foraging, mining and smithing. This is currently in closed beta but you can go to the Patreon and donate $5 for an invite during the next invite cycle.

Prado Traveler Pick a class and party up with a group to explore the land, defeat monsters and get loot. This one is in open beta so I was able to download it straight from the App Store.
