The Wii is set to battle cancer on two fronts with the announcement of the game “”Re-Mission.”"

“”The doctor said it was asthma, Saif Azar remembers. As an 11-year-old boy in his native country of Jordan, he didn’t know that his coughing and lack of appetite were early symptoms of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a form of leukemia that aggressively attacks the lymph system. At the time, Azar didn’t even know what cancer was; he only knew it was a bad word that took the life of his aunt.”"

The game which is co-created by a team of researchers, biologists and game developers is set to fund research into cancer via the HopeLab foundation which was set up by the wife of Ebay creator, Pam Omidyar.

I'm Nicko and if you have incredible deductive abilities you may have already worked out my name is Nick! I've been playing games since I can remember and have a strong passion for Nintendo. I sort of work in the background here you may have read my one (1) review! I also lurk the forums moderating when needed. But what really matters is my title. I think I'll make myself... vice president. No, wait! Junior vice president!
