Play.tm Is reporting a rumor that Nintendo may be about to release a pedometer for use when jogging.

I can see how this could be quite useful. I tried jogging in Wii Fit with the Wiimote in my pocket, but I found it very distracting. This could be a nice alternative to running with the wiimote in your hand.

New Concept are also set to release Wii jOG soon. This also looks really neat, a cross between Wii Fit and more conventional Wii games. You still use the wiimote and nunchuck to play the game, but you move round by running. So first person shooters where you shoot with the wiimote but move by running. Check out the videos in the above link.
