NEW YORK (Reuters) - Forget the flowers and candy -- Nintendo Co Ltd's highly anticipated "Wii Fit" video game will debut in the U.S. later this month, and Wal-Mart Stores Inc's (WMT.N: Quote, Profile, Research) online division is trying to persuade shoppers to order the game as "a perfect gift" for Mother's Day.
This weekend, the Walmart.com homepage will be dominated by the Wii Fit -- a physical exercise program that uses a pressure-sensing board as a controller -- including a link to order the product now, ahead of its May 19 U.S. launch.
