Sports Authority Fitness Retailer Inks Deal to Sell Wii [Wii]

Starting this month, Nintendo’s Wii gets its own section and pitch people at The Sports Authority stores nationwide, part of a movement to help make the country more fit, the fitness chain’s president told Kotaku this morning. Sports Authority president David Campisi says that the Colorado company, which operated about 450 stores, has been working on the deal for about half a year, but that he was interested in selling the fitness-themed games since Wii Fit first hit stores in 2008. “This is about getting the nation fit,” Campisi told Kotaku. “This could be really, really game changing.” The chain started a soft roll-out of the Wii Fit Experience earlier this month with 102 stores selling the Wii, Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus , accessories and other sports and fitness-themed games, Campisi said. The experience is set up along side the chain’s more traditional exercise equipment like weights and treadmills. “On Saturday I had people from 30 stores sending me pictures of kids on the Wii Fit board all day,” he said. The official announcement of Sports Authority’s deal with Nintendo to sell their console and games will come this Thursday with the help of fitness expert Jillian Michaels , star of The Biggest Loser and her own Wii game Wii Fitness Ultimatum. Campisi says that Thursday’s event at their Torrance, California store will include more than 100 Wii boards and an attempt to host the world’s largest Wii Fit Plus workout. “In our fitness departments we carry a lot of equipment,” Campisi said. “There are many, many ways to get fit and exercise, this is just one additional opportunity.”

Console Arcade, DJ Hero, Rock Band Set for Colorado Child’s Play Fundraiser [Event]

The Kotaku Child’s Play fundraiser will include Rock Band and DJ Hero up on stage as well as a free console arcade when it kicks off on Nov. 19 in the historic Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom in Denver. Last year our annual fundraiser drew in a crowd of about 300 people before hitting capacity, this year we have room for more than 500. The event is open to anyone 16 or older and kicks off at 6 p.m., running until midnight. If you are 21 or older, don’t forget your ID so you can get a wristband to purchase drinks. We’re asking for a minimum donation of $10 to get in and get a door prize ticket. We will be giving away a huge amount of swag including more than 70 T-Shirts, a custom straight jacket, a Guitar Hero drum seat, a popcorn machine and Divinity Dragon knives. There will also be a silent auction for a number of items including a copy of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Fortune Hunter’s Edition, which comes with a CD of the game’s soundtrack and a copy of the Brady Games guide; a 3L etched bottle of 8BitVintners wine, rare Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 mixtape vinyls, a collector’s edition Chun-Li statue, a Capcom hoodie signed by Niitsuma and limited edition Brutal Legend Statue. Once again Gabe of Death of the Arcade will be running the free Rock Band and DJ Hero gameplay up on Cervantes’ mammoth stage. Since we have two set-ups, we’ll be able to cycle through people much faster. On the second floor, Greg of Colorado Cutthroat will be running a free console arcade which will include a chance to play Tekken 6, Street Fighter IV, BlazBlu, Smash Bros. Brawl, Soul Calibur 4, Halo 3 and Modern Warfare 2 on a number of set-ups. It sounds like this year is going to be quite a blast, so mark your calendars now! Did I mention that Cervantes has a gi-normous disco ball? Because it totally does!! In a nutshell: The event will be at Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom in downtown Denver on Nov. 19. Doors open at 6 p.m. and close at midnight. Sixteen and older to get in and a minimum $10 donation. Be there and have fun… for a good cause. If you can’t make it you can always donate directly to Child’s Play.
