Nintendo has recently announced launching of it’s Wii Fit video game for American consumers. The new exercise game has been designed to woo non-traditional gamers, particularly women and elders, to the fields of zooming video games. Practicing yoga at home will now be more simple and fun filled. The game has evoked a great response in Japan where the company has already sold more than 2 million units.

With great fanfare and a live demonstration in the Central Park of Manhattan on Monday last, the US version of Wii Fit video game from Nintendo was launched giving a new way of keeping fit oneself at home. The video game is expected eventually to narrow down the wide gap between the muscle building workouts and the yoga. Before you start the game, the Wii Fit balance board will measure your BMI to assess fitness status, i.e, whether you are underweight, normal, overweight or obese. According to the finding, it will prescribe a “Wii Fit Age” solution for your practice.

The Wii Fit, an extension of Nintendo’s popular Wii game console, offers on-screen physical exercises integrated with a wireless “balance board”. Most of these virtual physical exercises are parts of aerobics, yoga, and strength enhancing workouts. This Wii game console add-on will certainly draw more people towards the domain of Nintendo, not because of gaming attraction but for health consciousness. Entertainment cum fitness enhancing gadget, Wii Fit Age, is going to open a new horizon in the fields of home video games for it’s unique performance and effectiveness. The intelligence and vision with which Nintendo has produced this is praiseworthy, comments a business analyst.
