You have probably gone to a hotel where you see a PS1 controller or N64 controller dangling out of the television so you cna play some old games while on the road. Well looks like Marriott is teaming up with Nintendo to bring some Wii action to your hotel room. You can get a Wii Room in 6 locations and get packages that allow you unlimited play during your stay, of course at a premium rate.
Interesting that these Wiis will have 20 pre-loaded games in them, do I smell hard drive here? This is a cool idea to have new games in the rooms, but if you are a traveler on business chances are that you are not willing to pay more to play some games right before bed. This will be fantastic for those travelers with kids that want to keep them occupied.
Hit the jump to read the official press release and what 6 hotels have these packages.
On our recent trip to the Mall of America, a gigantic mall in Minnesota, Loot Ninja came across an interesting scene. There was a pavilion of sorts promoting the Wii Fit in full effect with about a dozen or so Wiis and balance boards. It amazes me that a game like Wii Fit that has now been out on the market since May is still being promoted heavily and doing so well.
It was also interesting to see that the crowd that had assembled was full of children and their parents who really had no clue about gaming. As we sat there taking pictures of the people participating and trying out the game we could tell that no one in the crowd was a real gamer and really was amused by the novelty of the product and not the actual game.

Nintendo big wig Miyamoto was building a reputation for developing video game titles based on what his current hobbies are and Nintendo plans on keeping all of their latest works a secret even if it means ordering him to STFU.
With Miyamoto being well known now for announcing upcoming titles and systems based around his pastimes, Nintendo has decided it was time to ban his public hobby discussions, because they believe the competition may attempt to develop an idea off his million dollar thoughts.
Miyamoto had developed several games based off his hobbies like Zelda and his love of exploring caves and Wii Fit and his love for being healthy and excercise. I wonder what his latest hobby will be and what we might have in store form our friends over at Nintendo. Someone should buy Miyamoto some tickets to Amsterdam to spice up the Nintendo line up as soon as possible. I think Nintendo is going a bit over board with this ban, what do you think?
Let me add that it is a thong bikini, enough said! This one is questionable to be playing on your office computer so I reserved it for the evening post, so you can watch in the privacy of your own home. I think she is playing Guitar Hero, but who really cares, it is actually a pretty boring video and song. This new fad of scantily clad females playing rhythm games and Wii Fits is a welcomed site, I’m curious to see what is next. Enjoy!
No one can deny the mass appeal of Nintendo’s revolutionary Wii Fit. Adult and child alike are spending hours on the Balance Board trying to shed some pounds. As a male in my mid 20’s, many of the “games” on the Wii Fit just don’t appeal to me. Hula Hooping is fun for a little kid or maybe a mid-aged woman. What about the grown ass man? What will make me want to get on that board time and time again? I have 5 very good reasons.
1. The Flaming Bag of Dog Crap. The premise here is quite simple. You have to carefully walk up to your neighbor’s door while on the Balance Board. If you move too fast or wobble, you will be caught. Carefully lean over, place the bag filled with dog shit, light it, and get the hell out of there. You would run away just like you would in the Wii Fit races. You would run back to the starting point. The man with the best time wins. The closest thing I can think outside of physically lighting a bag of dog crap on fire. You can also avoid those pesky arson charges as well.
Finally a Wii Fit workout video featuring Playboy model Jo Garcia, good times! In case you aren’t sure who Jo is she is an adult model and Cyber Girl of the Year 2008.
Why make a video of a hot chick trying out the Wii Fit’s Hula Hoop exercise and ski jump scantily clad? Because they can and people will watch, that’s why.
Garcia has also has made videos of herself boxing and performing yoga with Wii Fit. Wii Fit never looked so good, this may motivate some to play some Wii Fit and get in shape, that or beat the bag.
There really is not much to say here. Hot chick riding a snowboard. Its SFW, she doesn’t get topless, but I wouldn’t play it if people are walking past you. That might lead to a visit from HR and no one wants that.
This guy bought his girlfriend a Wii Fit and talked her into playing in her underwear. 2.8 million views later, this has become an internet phenomenon. Using her full 15 minutes of fame, she will appear on MTV’s TRL this week. Watch below as she hula hoops her way into your spank bank.
Wii Fit has been all the rage across the world, selling out within hours of hitting store shelves. Nintendo’s attempt to turn gamers from fat, lazy people to fit and productive individuals has certainly grabbed the attention of the mainstream media. But how well does it work? Nintendo did a decent job of making your workout fun, which is one reason many people don’t exercise. By adding cute animations and your Mii characters, the barrier to entry has been dropped.
The graphics in Wii Fit are about on par with Wii Sports, which is to say they’re decent, but nothing to get you too excited. Most segments of the game don’t have much going on outside of your particular exercise, so there isn’t much eye candy. The sound is about equal to the graphics, with some little bleeps and bloops here, some midi-type background music there, and odd vocal work from your trainers.
The Wii Fit has a strict weight limit of 330 lbs or 150 kg. Now, there is a rumor that gamers tend to be on the heavier side. What is a gamer to do when their weight exceeds the limit? Nintendo: Too fucking bad. Here is what Nintendo will tell you if you bought a Wii Fit and are unable to use it:
The maximum weight for both game and accessory is 330 lbs (150 kg), which is stated on the Wii Fit packaging,” Nintendo of America’s Jill Callahan said. “If this is a product that can not currently be used in your home, you may wish to investigate a possible return of the product to the retailer where you purchased it.
Or perhaps you would like to give it as a gift to someone you know who would enjoy it. I hope you find these suggestions helpful.
Very helpful indeed. Thanks for the advice on my current conundrum. I have something that I can’t use. I can return it or give it to someone else? Thanks, Nintendo! I say if you are over 330 lbs, use the Wii Fit. If it breaks, just have someone else return it. Though I doubt the stoned register jockey at Best Buy will even make that connection. Never give up, never surrender!
