Wii - Wii Fit - Active Video Games Count as Exercise The amount of energy adults expend playing active video games may equal that of moderate-intensity exercise, according to a new study.

Japanese researchers measured the metabolic equivalent values (a standard method of estimating energy expenditure) of 12 people ages 25 to 44 as they played Wii sports games and did Wii fitness programs. The study was funded by Nintendo, which makes Wii.

The study found that nine Wii activities had less than two metabolic equivalent values (METs); 23 activities had two to three METs; nine activities had three to four METs; and five activities had more than four METs. The least intense activity was lotus focus (1.3 METs), and the most intense was the single-arm stand (5.6 METs).

Wii - Wii Fit - Wii Fit Muscles Past Grand Theft Auto Wii Play America's Best-Selling Title Of The Decade...

Move over Halo and Grand Theft Auto because there may just be a new sales leader in town. It doesn't star a heroic, gun-wielding soldier and it doesn't allow you to run over prostitutes with your virtual car. In fact, by the average definition, it doesn't even qualify as a videogame. But according to data from the NPD Group, which monitors monthly and yearly North American software sales, Nintendo's exercise program, Wii Fit, is on the verge of becoming the second-best-selling 'videogame' in a decade.

Wii - Wii Fit - Get Wii Fit Plus For $20 on October 4th Gamervision reports: "It's a Nintendo-themed night here at GV. Courtesy of our spies deep within the higher ranks of the Gamestop hierarchy comes word that Wii Fit Plus will be shipping on October 4th. Not only that, but the stand-alone game will retail for $19.99, and the game with balance board will cost $99.99. Not sure what makes them think this year's version of the game is worth $10 more than the original, but I bet it has something to do with the fact that they could charge a hozillion dollars, and people would still buy it."
