Nintendo and celebrity trainer Ashley Borden will be taking over a chunk of Central Park on May 19 to celebrate the release of Wii Fit.
Nintendo plans to have a slew of Wii Balance Boards on hand to do live demos and for everyone person who goes through the demo, Nintendo will make a $5 donation (up to $25,000) to the American Heart Association.
The event will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Merchants' Gate in Central Park, at the intersection of Central Park West, Central Park South, Columbus Circle and Broadway.
The Wii Fit party will also double as a celebration of National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, which happens to be in May.

I'll take two please. I knew I bought a king size bed for a reason.
sick, 5 blocks away from me!
So if I use Wii fit I'll look like that? Cool!
heh... Thought i'd stumbled upon fleshbot there for a sec.
Anyway i'm of for some free jogging and after that i'll do some free pushups.
That's um, a nice gesture. Yeah. Good job, Nintendo. I guess.
holy butterface batman!
@dh4645: What face?
I'd like to invade her central park later this month.......wait.....wah?
Why hello thar, sexy lady.
@nastysquared: "But her face".
She's not a butterface. In fact, she's quite pretty imo.
@wallapuctus: For a dude...
Wow, 5 bucks, Nintendo? Did the DS lites stop printing money?
@TP/\C SHKR:
Me too...exactly.
@wallapuctus: Yes, but you forgot the 2nd rule of the internet.
Every guy posting has the body of a bronzed god, has slept with more chicks than wilt chamberlain, and is dating a supermodel. So obviously it's important to talk crap about chicks.
Her face reminds me of 'Rastapopolous' from Tintin.
Also, why do Nintendo feel the need to cap this at $25,000? A bit stingy, no?
@wallapuctus: She reminds me of a Mii.
Thats a nice body. Great tone and sexiness.
TheSonicGamer: I don't think a Japanese company will make a hefty donation to an American charity. I am sure Nintendo made some huge charity back in the homeland. Its a minimal investment charity for a publicity of Wii-Fit in hoping the next AMH magazine will grace Wii Fit.
Nintendo pretty much paid 25g's for Wii to get mentioned to a wider audience that are associated with AMH.
She's pretty MIL* despite the man-hands.
I don't get it...there's a hot body in the picture in tight, white clothes.
...but yet...my penis...isn't hard as a rock. Not even a little bit.
OH GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!
@dh4645: LOL, indeed.
@TheSonicGamer:
Learn to read chuckles, $5 per person per demo up to $25,000 (which will probably reach that).
I'd like to check it out, just a few blocks away. Oh wait,let's see Monday the 19 between 8am and 5pm...guess not. Hmm, do you think they're trying to target housewives and elderly here..?
ill be in NYC for my birthday may 19th.. might check it out if we dont go to coney island that day
@HfAsianInvasion: I'm pretty sure he knows the joke. I'm sure his point was... who's looking at her face?
I'll skip the Balance Board and just take the instructor for a "demo". Is that ok?
What? No "I'd hit it"?
there are more comments about the woman than the event. lol
yeah, better get a Gym membership with that wiifit if you want to look like that
Confusious says that it better to meet woman in park, than to park meat in woman.
$5 per person. Phew... At least there's a limit. I'd probably want to go, if only I wasn't afraid of Central Park so much...
She's so ugly that I'm going to reject her before she even gets a chance to reject me for being a fat, videogaming slob!
@McKack: You were looking at her hands? I have to break something to you....
I want to throw my gut over chiseled shoulders.
Is that a GILF?
Release? It's not out over there yet? Weird. I'm already sick and tired of telling people it's out of stock here, my condolences to those of you who'll be in the same situation come May 19th. :(
@Mr. Fap☆Fap!:
Add resistors. Start at 1 ohm and add on from there.
Remember, resistance increases in series and decreases in parallel! :D
I would.
That is all.
I'm actually kinda looking forward to this. Years of WoW and sitting in front of my 360 got me looking like a fat ass. I hope it works and it's fun.
i think that head was intended for someone else....
@TheSonicGamer:Child's Play is Nintendo's primary donation target, everything else gets a smaller bite of the pie.
This is going to be fantastic PR for Nintendo. All they need is a Opera spot and you can look for a install base of 40 million systems worldwide by the end of the year, believe it.
This is the type of media friendly PR that Rockstar wishes they could buy.
"Nintendo and celebrity trainer Ashley Borden"
That's quite a feat to train Nintendo itself. Also, does she train people on how to be celebrities or is she a celebrity herself who is also a trainer?
@Lixie: I knew I bought a king size bed for a reason.
Because you're a fatty who's doomed to a future of many sleepless nights, wondering why you can't get a lady to join you, even as you're thinking of the next unfunny comment you can make about a successful woman who's doing something for good health and charity?
:/
@dh4645: Disagreed. She got them big DS lips, and I ain't talkin' bout Nintendo's portable!!!!
/idiocy
He reminds me of the dude who runs half naked down the beach... wait that's a chick?
That's how you promote a product.
Visibility & giving to charity spreads positive word of mouth about the company and the product.
Much better than beating their chest and declaring that they are the sept-ultimate gaming co in existence. *glares at sony*
@Silenthillnight: You'd be suprised what $25,000 and a good surgeon can buy you these days.
See video games are helping non gaming people everyday and Wii Fit is a perfect example.
You know, mob mentality dictates that I comment that, "She kinda looks like David Copperfield."
*bow*
@Mr. Fap☆Fap!: who needs wiifit women?
2D man, 2D. hyper-realistic AV idol stars and anime girls FTW.
:p
I hope she doesn't stand like that all the time, it could really ruin her posture and the balance board will punish her for that.
