In 2007, [[Namco Bandai Games]] announced that the Power Pad would see a reappearance for the original [[Wii]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://au.wii.ign.com/articles/820/820944p1.html |title=The Power Pad Returns |publisher=IGN |date=2007-09-18 |access-date=2007-09-19}}</ref> This version of the pad, called the '''Mat Controller''', will also work in conjunction with the [[Wii Remote]], and connects physically to the Wii console via its built-in [[GameCube controller]] ports. For later Wii models, it is incompatible as they drop the GameCube ports. It was released along with ''[[Active Life: Outdoor Challenge]]'' in North America <ref>{{cite web |last=Boyes |first=Emma |url=http://www.gamespot.com/news/6179193.html |title=TGS '07: Namco Bandai embraces Active Life |publisher= Gamespot |date=2007-09-20 |access-date=2007-09-20}}</ref> (known as ''Family Trainer Athletic World'' in Japan and ''Family Trainer'' in Europe) in 2008. Its sequel ''[[Active Life: Extreme Challenge]]'' was released in 2009. A third game, ''[[Active Life: Explorer]]'', was released in 2010.
