Westin Hotels to Become Nintendo Wii Gamers' Paradise

Going on vacation and want to make sure you can exercise in your room with your Wii Fit? Or can't bear to leave your Super Mario Galaxy game behind? Nintendo has announced a partnership with Westin Hotels to make sure you don't have to.

In their joint press release, Sue Brush, Senior Vice President, Westin Hotels & Resorts said:

"We jumped at the chance to be the first hotel to partner with Nintendo and add interactive entertainment to our successful WestinWORKOUT program. We think our guests will be eager to make Wii a part of their workouts during their stay with us."

Ten hotels across the U.S. will get the Wii. They will even get their hands on the Wii Fit as soon as it is available, the week of 5/19.

The Westin Times Square in New York City and The Westin Bellevue in Washington state already have Wiis. Later in May, eight additional Westin hotels will get Wiis: The Westin Hilton Head; The Westin Crown Center, Kansas City; The Westin Harbor Castle, Toronto; The Westin Diplomat, Hollywood; The Westin St. Francis, San Francisco; The Westin St. Louis; The Westin Galleria, Houston; and The Westin Savannah Harbor.

Westin will use feedback from the initial rollout to determine additional Wii system expansion.

The Wiis will come preloaded with a self updating selection of games, meaning no physical discs are required, with the first set of games including Wii Sports, Big Brain Academy, Wii Degree and Wii Play.

What, no Super Mario Galaxy? Well, I suppose you could always bring your own CD.
