User AvatarDr. Janet Coyle received a Wii for Christmas and realized that it could be useful in treating stroke victims. The idea proved to be so effective that people like Walter Rowry were up and around a week after having a stroke. Mr. Rowry was happy to use the Wii unit to bowl and regain the use of his left arm.

User AvatarTrauma Center: Second Opinion will be released in Europe soon. Those characters have no clue yet what my second opinion will be when the wiimote scalpel hovers over their aorta at one of those drunk Wii parties. I hope multiplayer is supported.

The games industry takes a lot of flak for its hitman simulators; imagine what the uproar will be like when this technology is put to use for a Jack the Ripper simulator?
