Nintendo Wii gets physical, physical

Wii have seen the future, and the future is fit.
Nintendo’s latest accessory for its Wii gaming console is a white plastic slab of gaming technology that you stand on, and it detects subtle shifts in weight and balance of the player and transmits those to the game.
The balance board is designed to be used for a number of physical games: strength-buliding exercise games, aerobics games , and even yoga exercises (!). This is definitely not your typical Dance Dance Revolution stomping mat.
The new gaming gadget is expected to jack up the Wii ’s price to around $89.99 when it debuts in May.
