Balance games are the most traditional game-like activities and include things like walking a tightrope, ski jumping and snowboarding. Balance Games wrap things up with several minigames designed to help improve overall balance. The games featured in this category are the most creative in terms of visuals and objectives, offering different modes of play all relating to the total control of the player’s body; the Soccer minigame, for instance, requires players to shift from left to right, hitting soccer balls with their heads to score points while dodging everything else; the Skiing and Tightrope minigames also require precise shifting to the left and right as well as quick upward thrusts with the knees to simulate jumping.

Balance games are the most entertaining of the bunch, even if they’re not quite the most strenuous. You’ll head some soccer balls, race through the gates of a slalom course, and even play table tilt, a three-dimensional take on the classic labyrinth game, where you tilt multi-colored balls using the Balance Board to shift the floating platforms on which they rest.

Is the Nintendo Wii a real option for exercise? Is the video game system really going to make a difference for those that need physical activity? For those that are at higher physical level, will it improve any factors/sport-specific motions? What will the Nintendo Wii Fit and balance board really do? These are some of the questions posed from a rehab standpoint, and I would like address the possible benefits available from a rehab/exercise perspective.

1. Simple Aerobic

The title says it all there. The Nintendo Wii video game system has the potential to get someone off of their backside and up on their feet. The simple motions will help the most sedentary patients/individuals or obese patients get some mild increases in aerobic output. The journey begins with a small step, and for those who feel they cannot do much of anything, what a great way to start.

2. Stability Training

I think this is where the Wii does the most to improve all levels of rehab. For the most basic patient, it can be used to get their hands off of their cane, walker etc, and get them using their arms while trying to maintain a non-supported base of support. The little bit of arm movement in multiple planes of motion will test their dynamic balance as well.

But now add in higher level, maybe younger kids with muscle imbalance issues. The Wii can be a fun way to address these balance difficulties, along with adding in motions far out of their base, performing on a single leg, or even disrupting their standing surface with foam, dynadiscs or other balance tools. The motions can get sport-specific, a pitcher for instance can do single leg stance on their dominant leg, practicing the initial wind up and hip rotation while following through with the throw. It is amazing how quick the time will fly when you can add the video game dynamic in.

3. Core Strength
Another excellent way to put the Wii to use. The Wii come with a variety of fun sport games, but also has the potential to play numerous other games. Why not grab a physioball, one of the large balance plastic balls and sit on it while you play? The ball is a great way to get core stability, and with the extra arm movement that you do, you can expect to be working your core even more.

4. Strength Training

Even though the control for the Nintendo Wii does not weigh all that much, why not add some resistance for your play? Something as simple as wrist weights around your arm while you swing through on your golf swing or tennis serve, the added weight will help build muscle strength, but again in a fun easy environment to learn how to build strength.

5. Balance

This is where the new Nintendo Wii Fit comes into play. The new game focuses on the idea of exercise as a lifestyle, with a balance board peripheral being the main addition. The board will be a scale, a BMI reader and a force plate to read and monitor even small changes in your stability. The games will include shifting a ball on screen on a surface-similar to the children’s marble game labyrinth.

The board will be useful in a variety of ways. First, for those that are older and have weight shifting or balance issues the biofeedback that the force plate will register gives a good on-screen monitor of their progress. What a fun way to show the patient or client that needs a way to register their advancement.

Next, you can advance their progress into fun games. The Wii Fit game comes with skiing, snowboarding and other fun balance/leg strengthening games. The sport exercises let you enjoy the game while still improving strength and balance.

6. Exercise Plan

The Nintendo Wii Fit will monitor you with a full exercise program right on your Wii. The exercises include pilates and yoga programs, with onscreen cues and technique clips.

The game keeps you accountable, monitoring your progress and your areas of need and how you can help keep yourself fit. So not only does it provide a place to play games and give you exercise routines it also keeps you accountable.

Overall, the Nintendo Wii has a lot of potential for exercise and rehab uses. The Nintendo Wii Fit and Nintendo Wii itself provide multiple opportunities for creative outside the box rehabilitation and training in core, balance and strength. I look forward to seeing the many uses that will be put to use with this exciting new piece of electronics.

Nintendo Wii Sports- To Bundle or Unbundle?
by Rebecca Winner

The Nintendo Wii has gained notoriety since its launching in the four key markets in December of 2006. The concept of the Wii was first spoken of during the E3 press conference in 2004. Later, it was unveiled at the 2005 E3 when Satoru Iwata showed a prototype of the controller at the Tokyo Game Show in 2005.

November 2006 saw Wii Sports bundle introduced to the USA. Nintendo Wii sports bundle became a run away favorite. From juniors to seniors all are praising the name of Wii. The Nintendo Wii Sports Bundle is the cool present to be giving your loved ones. Nintendo Wii won the Best Hardware and Best of Show Awards from the Game Critics Awards at the 2006 E3. Even after all this time if you pick up any reputable gaming magazine it is singing the praises of Wii as a major game console breakthrough. What other game can claim to have won an Emmy? Will won the award given out by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for Game Controller Innovation.

What makes Wii So Popular? This is a question begging to be answered by the gaming marketing companies of the competition. Why is Wii so incredibly popular? We need to ask ourselves what does Wii have that PS3 and XBOX360 ain’t got? What drives the loyal Wii fan base?

As our kids have gotten more obese over the years from just sitting around playing video games, the media wrote story after story about a need for a change. Deciding to be part of the solution (read keep market share) Nintendo thought up a revolutionary gaming console that came to be known as Wii. It would appear that Nintendo unintentionally assisted in liberating us from the gaming chair. Because Nintendo Wii is an interactive game you feel that you are actually in the game.

The most motivating factor in the rise of the Wii is the Nintendo Wii Sports Bundle. They sell the console together with 5 cool sports game. You can really express yourself when you play the Wii.

Some people out there are now proposing that Nintendo Wii Sports be unbundled from the initial purchase. If you break up the bundle it will bring the price of the console down. Your initial purchase is currently around $300. But that could be lowered by as much as $100 to make it “more affordable”. One conclusions the marketing prophets are making is that the Nintendo Wii Sports bundle sales will be heading for a decline unless Nintendo considers unbundling its Wii Sports offering. Sales would bounce in 2009 if they did.

First of all Wii’s popularity is due to the fact that it is being sold as a bundle. Second, how can the Nintendo Wii Sports Bundle be heading into decline when, even as we speak, Nintendo is scrambling to fill in all the orders. The demand is exceeding the available supply albeit the 1.8 million consoles Nintendo is shelling out a month.

Lastly Nintendo Wii Sports bundle is so popular not only with the younger demographics but also the older ones. Some people are even saying that they don’t buy any other games after purchasing a Nintendo Wii sports bundle. Why mess with a good thing, when people are perfectly happy with the Nintendo Wii sports Bundle just as it is?

It may have been more than a year since it came onto the market, but the Nintendo Wii is still causing quite a stir. People are still having a hard time getting their hands on one.

The retail selling price for the basic Nintendo Wii console of $250 makes it by far the cheapest gaming machine on the market. However, actually finding a Wii at this price these days takes a combination of luck, perseverance and ruthlessness. Of course, there are Wii’s available easily if you are willing to pay inflated prices. If not, here are some tips to help you get your Wii at retail.

Keep Tabs on Websites

Do your research. Find out the online stores that stock Wii’s such as Amazon.com and bookmark them on your browser. Monitor them at least once a day to see if they have a new shipment in. Also, try to get news of when websites are expecting shipments. You will have to be quick here. It is rumored that one recent shipment of Wii’s at Amazon sold out in ten minutes.

Check local stores

Using your phone book, locate the stores in your city that sell game consoles such as the Wii. Go to each one and see if there is a clerk or manager who is friendly enough to give you information on shipment schedules. You could hit the jackpot and be ahead of the game with information on the next shipment. If you are lucky enough to get that golden date, be at the store about two hours prior to opening time so you are one of the first in.

Forums and Tracking Sites

Be very vigilant. The search for Wiis has practically become the nation’s favorite pastime, you will hear all sorts of rumors, tricks and tips about getting one. Forums and tracker sites are good to keep tabs on but be cautious about taking what you read there as gospel, it could be way off the mark!
