To: Satoru Iwata, CEO Nintendo
Diversifying Nintendo Wii Characters
Rehab units across the country are using the Nintendo Wii systems as a fun way to improve function. The makers of the Wii have incorporated Mii characters to which diversity can be implemented, however, all of the people are able bodied. In the U.S. alone 1.6 million people use wheelchairs, 4 million use canes, and 1.5 million walkers. Let's ask that the makers of this popular tool include these pieces of durable medical equipment as options for their characters. If you want to see Mii characters using walkers, wheelchairs, and canes sign this petition to be sent to the CEO of Nintendo Satoru Iwata.
Why is this important?
Ever notice that all Nintendo Wii Characters (Mii characters) can walk? This system is used widely in rehabilitation settings where patients/clients may need walkers and wheelchairs. Please help advocate for people who may wish for their Mii characters to look more like them.
