With it helping wounded soldiers recover and retirement communities to stay active, along with personal trainers utilizing it to help people to lose weight and stay fit, we wonder if there is anything the Wii can't do? Surely, at this pace, we're likely to find out it can cure cancer and provide you with a more luxurious, thicker head of hair come October.The latest in the long line of stories about the Wii helping those in need finds us at Raleigh, North Carolina. Here, the Wake Med center is using the Wii to help those who've been in accidents or the recipients of disease. The idea to bring in the Wii was brought forth by the individual who delivers the wheelchairs, as he commented "People don't think of it as therapy. It's fun. It's a distraction, so the therapist can use it to do exercise activities that are hard to do."

Not inspired by the health clinic in Canada. So I can't blame them. (They're not even a real country anyway.)
Just more proof Nintendo is raising its army for world revolutionary conquest. First they train their brains. Give them puppies to warp their mind. Teach them rhythm through cheerleaders/blues brothers. Build their bodies through sports. Give them First Person Action and Shooting space bounty hunter training. Saving the world by flipping it. Entering mystical shadow realms to bridge armies. Lycanthropy. Duck Hunting. And the super fitness and courting space princesses.
