Nintendo to offer fitness checks News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Wii

Feel Great Britain tour now underway.

Nintendo is hosting a series of events across the UK offering you the chance to try out Wii Fit and get a free health and fitness check.

It's all part of the platform holder's Feel Great Britain initiative, which comes complete with an extremely lifestyle website full of white.

Visit the site for full listings of when and where Feel Great Britain events are taking place, get fitness tips from the likes of Rosemary Conley and win an exotic holiday to the Lake District.

Alternatively, you could just read our review of Wii Fit to find out whether it's right for you. Perhaps while eating some chips.

Is this a Wii Fit type of fitness check, i.e. measuring your ability to stand on one leg?

They were doing this weeks and weeks ago in Birmingham too, I suppose it may have been a different initiative though. Lots of embarrassed looking people and embarrassed looking staff with embarrassed family looking on.

Nintendo should stick with Games, not fitness. That, or their CEO is completely bonkers!

*Wonders if we'll start seeing Nintendo branded hubs at the local gym?*

As DFawkes says, all this hype is great but surely if you could walk into a store and pick Wii Fit up that would be a better selling tool...

balance - i.e. core stability is a very important part of fitness..
