The Wii Fit
Just when we thought the Wii was already cool enough, Nintendo goes and releases a new game called Wii Fit. Wii Fit, which was released on April 25, features more than 40 different stretches, aerobic exercise, and yoga poses. On top of that, it also includes a computerized "personal trainer" that helps you track your fitness progress.
The game is operated through a balance board that users stand on. The balance board can detect the distribution of the user's weight, and through this, it's able to act as a controller for the game.
Here's to hoping that this game can catch on for the video game junkie. After playing the regular Nintendo Wii, it's good to see that you can have fun with video games while being active at the same time. I remember back in college when Dance Dance Revolution was huge. I remember getting together with friends and having tournaments to see who had the best moves. We'd work up quite a sweat when we got going on that thing, and I imagine that this will do the same, except now, instead of just flailing our bodies around aimlessly, it sounds like there's a method to the madness.
