Nintendo's Wii created something of a revolution by combining exercise and gaming, but honestly, it just led to a lot of accidents. However, people are still tapping into this fitness through gaming regime and Japanese coder Ryo Katsuma mixes Google Maps with the Wii Remote to create a virtual jogging or walking experience. Here you go on a tour of Tokyo, but this mashup can be applied to various cities covered by Google Maps. Now you can just travel where ever in your virtual world. This has made the world a "Wii" bit smaller, hasn't it?
