A brand new accessory turns any Wii game into an exercise device.

BLAZE and Fitness First have teamed up to create the U-Move accessory for the Nintendo Wii, a nunchuck controller that requires movement to work. Gamers must either jog on the spot or move their arms around to power the nunchuck. If you stop moving then the thumb stick stops working, meaning your character stops moving too.

The accessory is designed to work with any game, although obviously it is more suited for titles such as Golden Eye 007, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess rather than titles like Kororinpa.

The controller also has a built in pedometer that tracks your steps and counts the amount of calories you have burnt. It is available to purchase from www.blazeeurope.com for �19.99.

"We are keen to develop and promote video gaming accessories that really make a difference to the fitness levels of gamers. The best exercise, is the exercise you don't realise you are doing, and this is why we developed 'U-Move'"

Jason Cooper, Chairman of BLAZE Europe
