'''Dance Aerobics''' (known in Japan as '''Family Trainer No. 3: Aerobics Studio''') is the first fitness game ever published in February [[1987]] by [[Bandai]] as the third game in Bandai's Family Trainer series. It may loosely be considered the forerunner to [[Wii Fit]]. It was designed for use with NES' 3x4 dance mat, the [[Power Pad]], making it the first in the rhythm game genre - a genre that would later explode into the mainstream gaming market at the tail end of the 1990s. Dance Aerobics was published in Japan by Bandai and in North America by Nintendo. Dance Aerobics features three distinct modes. The Power Pad's 3x4 Side B is used for all modes of Dance Aerobics. | |||
