Lose weight with your Wii! Maintaining Good Health with Wii. Use a Game console as weightloss technique! The newest product of Nintendo, the Wii, is more than just your ordinary console. In fact, it separates itself from other counterparts, such as Sony’s PS3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360. First of all, it doesn’t involve any touch pads where you can lay your thumbs on. There’s no need to maneuver any joystick. All you have is a controller, which is very easy to manipulate.

But more than anything, the greatest benefit of the Wii lies on the fact that it can actually develop a person positively, by improving his emotional, physical and emotional aspects.

The Ultimate Difference in Movements
If you have been an active gamer for such a long time, perhaps it has become customary for you to become a couch potato, while majority of the exercise happens in your thumb. This, however, is the total opposite of the Wii. Because the real motion comes from the controller itself, you basically have to perform the movements in order for you to play the game. Even though the game is virtual, the physical efforts you give to every game are definitely real.

That’s why numerous medical researchers and players believe that Wii can help them lose great amount of weight. In the January issue of Mayo Clinic’s Pediatrics, a study states that a child who plays Wii can burn up to three times the calories compared to when he plays the standard hand=held games. This is because instead of sitting down, they are forced to stand up and perform the movements, hence burning more calories. Wii then becomes a perfect partner against obesity in children. What’s more, the game is highly entertaining. Definitely, they wouldn’t desire to put Read the rest of this entry »

Ever since the Nintendo Wii video game console was introduced in the global market it has taken the world by storm. In the beginning Microsoft Xbox 360 managed to sell more units than Nintendo Wii in the month of September, Nintendo Wii soon overtook Microsoft to reach the top spot for the number of units sold. Nintendo overtook Microsoft in October when 519,000 units of the game console were sold while Microsoft managed to sell only 366,000 units.

However in terms of revenue Microsoft has overtaken Nintendo Wii. Microsoft earned $354 million in revenue from sales of its video game console while Nintendo managed to earn $246 million for its Wii model and $116 million for its PS3 model. The third major competitor Sony has also done exceptionally well for itself as it launched newer models.

Just when everything has looked the same in the gaming world, Nintendo took a riskier path. Nevertheless, all efforts have paid off, and one of its newest technologies, the Nintendo Wii, is getting rave reviews all over the world.

But what is Wii, and how is it different from Xbox, GameCube, and Playstation? How does it exactly work? Learn to trudge upon the world of Wii consoles.

Setting the Difference with Wii’s Interface
It seems like there’s much difference when you talk about consoles of different video games. But Wii is ultimately different. It aims to revolutionize game play, not just to improve what is already available in the market.

Innovation can be one of the better reasons why Nintendo designers have come up with Wii. Gone is the joystick, and all that is left is an ordinary-looking remote control. Yet the ultimate secret of Wii is in the controller itself. For one, gyroscoping has never been this easy. After all, what you can control is the Wii controller itself. It can ultimately perform a series of console functions, such as tilting in different direction, rotation, and even acceleration. All you have to do is to move the controller to any direction that you want it to. What happens therefore is you are increasing preciseness in your movements, and you can definitely complete a game with perfection. Read the rest of this entry »

If you think you have enough of Wii, think again. Perhaps you haven’t played all of the top 5 games of this newest product of Nintendo. For Wii aficionados and for those who are simply looking for new exciting games to play in, here are some of the best Wii picks for you:

Talk about the Legend of Zelda

Think of Lord of the Rings and Dungeons and Dragons combined. This is how the new and possibly the biggest videogame console to date is like. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess talks about the never-ending adventures of Link and Princess Zelda against Ganondorf. The Wii consol game will allow you to discover the brand-new ability of Link, which is to transform himself into a wolf. The Wii console is so much perfect for the game, considering that you need maximum flexibility as well as preciseness when it comes to using the bows, arrows, and swords. To make the game even more exciting, Wii provides a 16:19 display option for its widescreen—a totally new level of playing experience.

Goin’ Bananas

The Banana Blitz is the newest installment of Super Monkey Ball and is specifically created for Wii consoles. This is the most ideal game for those who are trying to test the waters of Wii consoles. Banana Blitz features 50 mini-games and 100 brand-new mazes, which are very much easy to play around. Moreover, working on your Banana Blitz is actually no-brainer. With a simple forward-and-backward motion, you can already see those monkeys rolling around the various puzzle games. So if you like to go loco over those scheming primates, then settle for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz. Read the rest of this entry »

You knew it would happen sooner or later. Every system has a scene dedicated to picking the system apart so it can fit their needs. It didn’t take long for a modchip to come along for the Nintendo Wii, but while that focuses on game backups, this development is going to let you bring more software to your Wii.

By taking advantage of an exploit found within a save file for the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, hackers have been able to run unsigned code on the system. By using your SD card with this save file on it, you too can run homebrewed applications. Unfortunately at this point, all you can run is a Pong demo. But don’t expect to play it yourself, as it’s a self run program that operates at a crawling pace.

This is only the first step forward in this development, but just like any company defending their systems integrity, it should be expected that Nintendo will try and prevent this from happening. With the awful library of shuffleware we’ve had to endure so far, it’s very likely that the content coming out of this homebrew scene will prove to be a thousand times more fun than Ninja Bread Man.

NERF Wii Blaster: Shoot The TV And Your FriendsThe NERF N-Strike series of guns have really brought their toys back into the spotlight and with the recent partnering of EA and Hasbro, it looks like they’ll be expanding their reach. While there already are two different Nintendo Wii Blasters (one official and one not) it would seem kind of silly to break into a market that doesn’t have that many games to support it at this point. But Hasbro isn’t kidding around on this one. Packaged with their NERF N-Strike game coming to the Nintendo Wii will be a gun peripheral that is also a fully functioning NERF gun.

Apparently the game has both a single player and multiplayer mode and is centered around “NERF Mayhem”. Just make sure that whoever has the NERF N-Strike gun when you’re playing multiplayer is not a sore sport.
