Wii Health Pack is a Wii game that is being designed by Shigeru Miyamoto as a way to get families to exercise together.[3] It was first announced at a conference in mid-September of 2006.[3]

[edit] About

Wii Health Pack is currently being designed by Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of famous franchises such as Mario and The Legend of Zelda. The idea was included in Miyamoto's design document for the "Wii series", including Wii Sports and Wii Play, written in Miyamoto's common fashion as information scribbled on a single sheet of paper.[3]

Nintendo has stated that the goal of the game is to "create an application which is useful for everyday healthcare." It is hoped that "it will be relevant for every family member and [that] we may be able to create a situation where they are willing to turn on their Wii every day."[4][5]

The game has been given a 2007 release date for Japan.[1][2]

While not much has been said about it in the North America and Europe, Miyamoto has been talking a lot about it in Japan[6].
