5 April 2011, Gold Coast, Australia – Following the rampant success of the Zumba\u00ae Fitness title on Kinect for Xbox 360, international publisher, 505 Games, together with All Interactive Entertainment, has released the game for the Nintendo Wii\u2122 into the Australian and New Zealand markets with the PlayStation\u00aeMove to follow soon.<\/p>\n
The Zumba Fitness exergame is based on the successful global dance fitness program that has helped melt the pounds and inches off ten million Zumba\u00ae enthusiasts in more than 110 countries.<\/p>\n
In Zumba Fitness, players can learn and perfect nine different dance styles: Reggaeton, Merengue, Salsa, Cumbia, Hip-Hop, Mambo, Rumba, Flamenco and Calypso. The game features 30 different infectious music tracks and routines–some exclusive to the game–led by Zumba\u00ae creator and Colombian dance icon Beto and fan favourite celebrity instructors Gina Grant and Tanya Beardsley. No matter what your skill level, the Zumba fitness video game is accessible to all with Learn the Steps training, plus Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced routines in five dynamic venues. As you hit each move in rhythm with your on-screen Zumba\u00ae instructor, the stage transforms into a high voltage party atmosphere with special effects and additional crowd dancers.
\nBoth new formats come bundled with a specially designed belt to hold the Wii Remote\u2122 or the PlayStation\u00aeMove motion controller. Players wear the exclusive Zumba fitness belt to track their hip movements as they join in with the contagious dance moves.<\/p>\n
