Room Service, I'd like A Wii, Please...
Nintendo today announced a partnership with Westin Hotels & Resorts that will put special editions of their Wii console in hotels across the US. This is all part of Westin hotel's WestinWORKOUT program that aims to get their guests' bodies and minds in shape. So these special Wii consoles come pre-loaded with games like Wii Sports, Big Brain Academy, Wii Play and others. They're also going to get Wii Fit with Balance Boards when that launches.
"We jumped at the chance to be the first hotel to partner with Nintendo and add interactive entertainment to our successful WestinWORKOUT program," said Sue Brush, Senior Vice President, Westin Hotels & Resorts. "We think our guests will be eager to make Wii a part of their workouts during their stay with us."
"Delivering an active entertainment experience is what Wii is all about," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "Games like Wii Sports and the upcoming Wii Fit are ideal for business travelers and families who want to stay energized while on the road."
The program launches with Wii's in 10 hotels across the US, and eight more joining in May. Honestly, I figure that a hotel's gym would give you a better workout, but then again, playing Wii Sports for 30 minutes is certainly a whole lot more fun than grinding away on a treadmill for the same amount of time!
