KOF '98 Body Monitor Lets You Check Your Health and Play

Health equipment manufacturer Tanita announced a new line of machines designed to check your body health while playing KOF ’98. Four different pieces of equipment are featured as part of this collaboration, and they are now available for pre-order from the Tanita online store. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

The Tanita multi-frequency body composition monitor The King of Fighters model is the first and most expensive item in the lineup, costing 2.2 million yen (or approximately $14,380.) Aside from monitoring the body and condition of its user by offering data on weight, body fat, muscle mass, body water percentage, and various metabolic functions and statistics, the machine lets people get a health check while they play KOF ’98.

The body monitor includes a 10.4-inch LCD monitor used to display body health information and to play the 5th title in The King of Fighters series. Additionally, the machine is decorated with art from KOF ’98 featuring the main cast of the game. You can check out the machine here:
