If you thought the younger generation ran rings around you on the Wii, you ain't seen nothing yet. The Wii jOG – yes, that's a deliberate, oh-so-trendy, Apple-esque lower-case-j – is a neat extension to the Wii's interactive gaming experience.
The device (which is also a pedometer) clips into the Nunchuk joystick. Then, in order for your character to move, you have to jog on the spot. It's a little confusing at first and, while Mario Kart remains a challenge too far, for other games – particularly a Pro-Evo, Resident Evil or other adrenaline-generator – it's worth sticking with.
An hour's gaming can apparently generate 7,500 steps of the daily recommended 10,000 and burn some 225kcal. I couldn't make it to the former or comment on the latter but it: a) certainly feels like exercise; and b) is a lot more fun than the Wii Fit.
