Nintendo Wii – Can it make you Healthier?

by D Grammer

It has been quite some time since video games made their entrance into popular culture, but as soon as they did, it was clear that they were here to stay. Video games have always offered a virtual escape, the chance to try any multitude of things. Players could experience the action and
adventure of a treasure hunt, the thrill of a high-speed race, the frenzied chaos of war, all without leaving the comforts of the couch.

But the biggest problem with these games is you never leave the couch.

While there is the benefit of the hand-eye coordination, that is pretty much where any health benefits from video games stop.

So players and doctors are both intrigued by the Nintendo Wii.

The Nintendo Wii is not like any of the previous gaming systems. The Nintendo Wii has a proprietary motion sensor control system, that combined with games such as virtual sports, will effectively offer a combination of exercise and gaming.

The Wii controller is not like any video game controller. The player must get in on the action and perform the moves they want to complete. For example, in a normal video game of tennis, you would hit the button to make the player swing, but with the Nintendo Wii, you have to swing the
controller to make the virtual Mii player swing. It is as if you were really playing tennis.

The result is both a physical and mental interaction with the gaming experience.

The Nintendo Wii may not quite be on the same caliber as a full focused cardiovascular workout program, but it is a very good option for the serious gamers that spend a lot of time on the couch. Some of the best games to play on the Wii come in the Wii Sports package that comes with the Wii. Tennis ,baseball, golfing, and boxing are games of the Wii Sports package that all require physical activity to complete the game.

Why the Nintendo Wii Console Rocks

by Jeff Sparks

Today, play has a different meaning for kids. With the advancement of technology, playing also follows with it. Kids no longer play ordinary toys instead they already play video games. However, these video games are tagged with negative effects. They say that kids become violent and may lead to obesity.

In our fast-paced technology, these games have changed rapidly. And with this change is the birth of Nintendo Wii console. It didn't bring much impact to consumers when it was first released, until they realized that it's not an ordinary video game that children can play.

So what is Nintendo Wii? When you buy this console, it will come with a sport game disk that Nintendo Wii features. There are a lot of games on this disk that you can choose from. You'll find tennis, bowling, golf, baseball and boxing on this disk. You need to stretch your muscles and move actively when you play this game because you're going to play the game on how it is supposed to be played. What do I mean? If you're playing tennis, you need to swing your Wii remote like your holding a tennis racket to hit the ball.

Of course in any game, you need to have a character or a player. In Nintendo Wii, this is called Mii. You can personalized your character by dressing it up, choose the facial features and put in accessories to give it a good look.

The Nintendo Wii has tons of games available for you to play. There are many different games for all sorts of tastes to enjoy on the Wii. That offers the consumer the ultimate flexibility in their game playing. One of the most interesting advancements in video gaming is the Wii Fit program.

Comes with this technology is the Wii Fit program, which is one of the most interesting development in video gaming. Wii Fit is like a physical fitness program wherein you can monitor or chart your weight loss progress and can even measure your physical agility as you work on the different activities available on the disk.

If you are looking for a traditional game because you can't cope up with the new games, the Super Smash Bros game would be a perfect game for you. This game is just an ordinary
battle game but what's interesting with it is that you can find old characters, like Mario and Link, battling with each other.

Recession Proof Wii – Forbes

Recession-Proof Wii

Demand for the game console is still strong despite the down economy.

The question on every parent's mind this holiday season: Will I be able to finally find a Wii for my kid? The short answer: Probably, if you start shopping now. The hunt for Nintendo's elusive white console--widely credited with expanding the videogame market to include every grandparent, woman and child--has instilled a Captain Ahab-like doggedness in consumers. Tales of parents stalking UPS trucks, putting their local GameStops on speed dial or spending three times the $249 retail price to snag a system off eBay are commonplace.

That's why Nintendo (other-otc: NTDOY.PK - news - people ) was quick to mention in October that it would ship 50% more Wiis to North American retailers this holiday season than it did last year. Based on 2007 fourth-quarter sales compiled by NPD Group, that means some 4.3 million Wiis likely will end up lining shelves. Whether that will be enough, even Nintendo doesn't know. "We're in unforeseen territory," Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimee said in October. "We are selling hardware at rates that no system has ever experienced."

Market research firm EEDAR estimates that October was the first month that Wii supply and demand were nearly equal since the console's launch in November 2006. An estimated 850,000 Wiis arrived in North American stores during the month of October, and it is expected that all but 100,000 were sold. "This will be a much less stressful shopping year than it has been for the last two years," says Bob McKenzie, senior vice president of merchandising at GameStop (nyse: GME - news - people ). "For the month of November we have sufficient product to meet consumer demand ... we're in the best position we've been in since the launch."

A lot of kudos should be handed to Nintendo's marketing team for sculpting the hit. Images of folks batting about virtual tennis rackets in their living rooms in "Wii Sports" drove initial sales. Then last May, Nintendo spiked demand again when it released "Wii Fit." Now videogame publishers are devoting entire product labels to the Wii, including All-Play from Electronic Arts' (nasdaq: ERTS - news - people ) sports division, Play Zone from Ubisoft and Activision's (nasdaq: ATVI - news - people ) Wee 1st.

While McKenzie says GameStop is fully stocked, he warns that people will have a harder time finding Wiis the longer they wait. EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich also recommends buying now, expecting that Wii demand will once again outstrip supply. The new emphasis on saving among American families is likely to drive up demand for the console, he says. The videogames industry has been largely unaffected by economic downturns, and consumers still want escapist entertainment--perhaps more so now as a deep recession looms. And while $60 is a hefty upfront investment for a videogame, it often lasts 20 or more hours whereas a $10 movie tickets nets about two hours of entertainment.

For the family entertainment dollar, consumers will find it hard to beat the Wii, Divnich says. So take advantage of the supply surge and get your Wii before they're gone.

GameStop: We’ve Got Wii For Weeks – Wired News

GameStop: We've Got Wii For Weeks
Wired News

Looking to get a Wii for Christmas? Act now.

Last night at the Lich King launch, I got the chance to speak with a GameStop exec who pointed out that Wii was currently in stock at the San Francisco downtown store.

In fact, he said, the retailer had secured enough Wii consoles from Nintendo that he was confident the hard-to-find game system would be in stock at all GameStop stores until the first week of December. That's right -- GameStop could have enough to last through Black Friday.

It's not just GameStop, though -- it's in stock right now at Amazon, too, and I wouldn't be shocked if you see it in big box stores. It seems not that demand is declining, but that Nintendo has finally gotten production ramped up to levels that actually support the continued demand.

After that, who knows. Wii Fit is a "different story," they said. Looks like it won't be terribly difficult to get Wii this holiday season, but the exercise game will be the Turbo Man of 2008.
