Today's most therapeutic video: Wii rehab

by Zack Stern { Jan 4th 2008 at 1:30AM }

America's sweetheart, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, reports for CNN about the Wii being used as a physical therapy device. Ohio State University's Medical Center, like some other hospitals, says the system is a fun way to help patients. No word on if those caregivers had to buy one of the GameStop bundles to score the console.

Needs more Mario Party 8. Then we'll see some real recovery.

A news report involving video games that isn't riddled with innacuracies about the games presented and loaded with fear-mongering? That is new in and of itself.

I've gotta say that's pretty cool.

I think that Nintendo ought to set up business accounts, specifically geared towards Hospitals so that they can get Wii consoles at cost. This way, they can justify ramping up production, get great PR and Hospitals can benefit from this at a reduced cost.
