Nintendo is teaming up with the American Heart Association to promote its Wii consoles as a means to stay active and healthy

The American Heart Association has officially backed Nintendo's gaming console as a way to stay active and healthy and will promote the console, Wii Fit, and Wii Sports Resort with their stamp of approval.

"The two organizations come from different worlds but share the common goal of helping consumers discover how active-play video games contribute to healthy living,"

Nintendo and the AHA will also host a health fair showing the benefits of active-play video games.
