The Wii Fit has become the first computer game to be endorsed by the Department of Health!

The government regularly claims that playing computer games encourages a sedentary lifestyle, and that the video game industry has a role in the increasing cases of obesity seen in children and teenagers.

So Nintendo must be feeling pretty chuffed to receive backing from our very own NHS. A spokesman for the Department for Health said it was not endorsing a video game, but rather an exercise.

Yes people, the NHS are saying that the Wii Fit is an effective form of exercise! Therefore it ‘works’ (like any kind of exercise does).
