Use of the new Nintendo Wii can lead to weight loss. Playing the Wii is quite a different experience than the usual sit-motionless-on-the-couch scenario. Nintendo’s new console has gotten people on their feet and using muscles their bodies had forgotten about. One blogger in Philadelphia has lost nine pounds just from playing Wii Sports.
His food intake remained the same and he didn’t deny himself the usual holiday indulgences, either. He tracked his progress at WiiNintendo.net, which includes before and after photos. DeLorenzo told Reuters a fitness Web site has enlisted his help in creating Wii workouts, and he also recently bought the domain name WiiWorkout.net.

Nintendo's U.S. subsidiary had owned a stake in the team but is not disclosing how much it owned or how much it owns after the transaction, he said. The Mariners are one of the most popular major-league baseball teams in Japan because of right fielder Ichiro. Then, comfirmed some new Cube games including Pokemon and Mario are in develeopment.. Finally, the company has begun internal work on the planning and production side of animated movies. All financing for these projects will be handled internally. While specific content hasn't been revealed, the company does expect to have its first pictures made public some time in 2006. Previously, Nintendo's dealings in the movie business have been through licensed properties, like Pokemon and a positively weird movie based on Super Mario Brothers. One wouldn't actually call these Nintendo movies, though. Whatever movie properties do show up, it's expected that Nintendo will take advantage of the new wireless technology from the DS in its film releases. The first film to allow DS owners to download content via wireless transfer by simply bringing their DS systems to the theater will be the new Pokemon movie, a non-Nintendo production that's scheduled for Japanese release in the Summer. |
