The American Heart Association and Nintendo of America announced a first-of-its-kind, multifaceted strategic relationship aimed at helping people create healthy lifestyles through physically active play. The two organizations will work together on multiple fronts to help consumers discover how active-play video games contribute to healthy living. Their joint efforts will arm consumers with information, provide people with hands-on experiences and arrange a summit of representatives from different backgrounds to discuss the benefits of active-play video games.

The relationship focuses on Nintendo’s active-play video game products, including Wii Fit Plus, Wii Sports Resort and the Wii console itself. The boxes for each of these products will carry the American Heart Association brand to get people thinking about physically active play. The brand serves as a chance to remind people about the benefits of a healthy approach to living and how active-play video games can be an integral part of a healthy lifestyle.

According to Circulation, the journal of the American Heart Association, nearly 70 percent of Americans are not getting the recommended levels of physical activity each week. With over 22 million Wii Fit sets sold to date, the next generation console known for helping patients recover from strokes and surgery — a system known as Wiihabilitation — hopes to promote general health awareness among the usual couch potatoes.
