When I met my guy, I learned a lot more about video games.
And when I learned more about the Nintendo Wii and the way it uses video games to actually get children and senior citizens to be active, I was even more intrigued by video games. Then I saw my cousins playing with their Wii Fit and I was sold.
This is a video game system that really could help some people at least begin their fitness routines. Amazing!
For those who are unfamiliar with Wii, the games are simulated from real life games and the movement of your body either holding the Wii joysticks or standing on the Wii Fit pad are what guide your player in the game. For instance, for the Wii Fit, there is a skiing game where you have to actually move your body left and right, while balancing on the pad, to guide your player through the course. In the bowling game, you have to hold the joystick and move your arm, while holding it, as if you were actually throwing a bowling ball.
Well, now, apparently, Wii might be able to offer you something even more amazing. A bike pedaling game.
Apparently this game is not being designed by the Nintendo makers (I heard about this all from this article: http://www.videogamesblogger.com/2009/08/14/wii-bike-with-pedal-controller-for-cycling-fitness-coming-to-wii.htm). But it could be played on a Wii.
The game will involve bike simulation and players will have to pedal their way to winning.
I want to know if any of you have experience with the Wii and how it has helped YOU remain active!?
