It is a good thing that Nintendo has decided to release the WiiFit to help today’s generation to become more active. Playing outside isn’t as common with all the technology available these days. So does the WiiFit really benefit today’s youth? Here is a video showing the heart rate produced while using the WiiFit. Not that impressive if you ask me.

Apparently BioShock, once exclusive to the Xbox 360, is heading for the Playstation 3. There isn’t much news other than a promise from UK PlayStation mag PSM3 to publish and in-depth preview for the PS3 version in its June 5th issue.
Take-Two has not commented on the news, but expect a press release sometime in the future. Keeping a game exclusive to one platform just isn’t business savvy. Why only market to half of the gamers out there? The success of Grand Theft Auto IV is a true example of a multiplatform launch.

Nintendo has launched a new internet service called WiiWare, allowing game developers with small budgets and teams to more established developers to showcase their games.
WiiWare frees developers from the traditional constraints of video game development. WiiWare lets developers experiment with big ideas and small budgets to the benefit of players everywhere. Newer, smaller teams now have an outlet for their creative ideas. The constantly growing WiiWare library will have a regular flow of unique video gaming experiences consumers might not otherwise have access to.
“WiiWare is to the video game industry what independent films are to Hollywood,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “WiiWare lets developers experiment with new ideas and experiences. Combined with our collection of classic Virtual Console games, Wii provides one-stop shopping for the greatest games of the past - and the future.”
