             **NHS endorses Nintendo Wii Fit video game**

             ** The Nintendo Wii Fit Plus has become the first computer game to be endorsed by    the Department of Health.   **
The backing is a victory for the Japanese company and the rest of the video games industry, which has been frequently attacked by the Government for encouraging a sedentary lifestyle, and accused of playing a role in the obesity epidemic.
However, the endorsement will raise eyebrows among critics of the Department for Health, as Nintendo has agreed to use its own money to promote the NHS Change4Life programme.
