Nintendo teases new fitness accessory for Switch, but what is it?
![][1]
[Nintendo][2] is on a roll at the moment, not least by adding [SNES games to the Switch][3] for online subscribers to play for free. However, it has further plans to extend the usefulness of its console, with a new accessory planned for a full unveiling on 12 September.
The only problem, we're not entirely sure what it is.
A teaser video has been posted by Nintendo online, showing a large(ish) rubber ring and a strap to hook a Joy-Con to your leg, so we can only guess that this is the [Nintendo Switch][4]'s answer to the [Wii Fit board][5].
That makes sense considering its been more than a decade since Nintendo dabbled in the fitness market. The accessory also seems to have some resistance when squeezed, a bit like a rubberised muscle trainer, which gives a further hint towards healthier pursuits.
Certainly, all the uses shown in the video clip suggest that you'll have to move around a lot, presumably to tie in with a game or application. And, yoga seems to play a part too.
Anyway, we'll find out for sure next Thursday, when Nintendo promises to reveal more.
In the meantime, we'll be having a cheeky punt on the fact that it'll be called SwitchFit. Oh yes.
