At a recent health and fitness exhibition in Japan, Konami introduced GROOVE MOTION DDR. It's based off the company's Dance Dance Revolution game, but includes six programs like yoga and martial arts-style exercises. While a DDR-type mat is used, GROOVE MOTION differs in that a motion sensor belt is worn. It calculates individual data like calories counted and "score." This title most likely won't find its way into Japanese arcades, but rather, into Konami's own fitness clubs. Yes, there are Konami fitness clubs — hence the exercise games. Makes sense!
