<\/p>To celebrate the North American launch of Wii Fit this week, Nintendo held a launch event in Central Park on Monday. Although the weather wasn\u2019t the greatest, the area was packed when I went.\u00a0 What was especially great was that Nintendo donated $5 (up to $25,000) to the American Heart Association<\/a> for everyone who did a demo.\n

I was really looking forward to going to the event.\u00a0 Then, on Sunday night my four years old son Michael got a \u201cWii punishment\u201d (no Wii at all on Monday) because he threw the Wii remote (he didn\u2019t want to get off the game when it was time for him to do so).\u00a0 \u201cOh great,\u201d I thought \u2013 he\u2019s going to have a fit going to this event and not being able to play.\u00a0 \u201cOh, well.\u201d\u00a0 We went anyway.\u00a0 I\u2019m so glad that we did.\u00a0 It was fun!<\/p>\n

My son didn\u2019t have a fit.\u00a0 He just enjoyed seeing all of the other people testing out the game.\u00a0 (To be fair, I didn\u2019t do a demo \u2013 that would have been pretty mean to my son \u2013 even though I<\/u> wasn\u2019t the one on punishment \u2013 I guess that I owe $5 to the AHA.)\u00a0 It was also fun to see the professional demonstrators on the stage.\u00a0 One of the personal trainers received a 100% on the push-ups\/side plank exercise.\u00a0 Michael exclaimed, \u201cWow Mommy, he did great, like you!\u201d\u00a0 (I had got a 100% on this exercise at home earlier \u2013 of course, I had \u201ccheated\u201d a bit and did the girly \u201cknees-down\u201d push-ups.)<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In any event, Wii Fit is available at stores beginning today.\u00a0 Definitely grab a copy if you can!<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
