Nintendo and the American Heart Association Offer “12 Days of Getting Active” Holiday Tips

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– A new survey from the American Heart Association shows that playing active-play video games can lead players to participate in more real-world physical activity. According to the survey, 58 percent of people who play active-play video games have begun a new real-life fitness activity like walking, tennis or jogging since they started playing the games. Additionally, 68 percent of people who play active-play video games say they are more physically active since they got involved in video games.

Inspired by these results, Nintendo and the American Heart Association are combining fun and fitness this holiday with “12 Days of Getting Active.” A series of daily tips starting today will help make it easy for people to get active, even when they are challenged with busy schedules and sweet temptations. The tips will be posted at http://www.activeplaynow.com, the joint American Heart Association-Nintendo online information center, and will focus on how active-play video games can get everyone in the family engaged in fun, physically active behavior leading into and through the New Year.


“Ikenie no Yoru”, (English: “Night of the Sacrifice”) a Wii-exclusive horror game upcoming from Marvelous Entertainment, was featured in Famitsu this past week, and it was revealed that the game would be using the Wii Balance Board as part of its gameplay.

In addition, the Wiimote is used to control a flashlight (something countless Wii games have used in the past), and the story follows 5 college students who have wandered into an old sacrificial building on a spooky night.

Edit: I’m not gonna lie; I was sort of going to brush this one off, but the screens actually look pretty creepy!

We also have an English name for the title: Night of the Sacrifice.
