The JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa in northeast Phoenix is one of six Marriotts nationwide to pilot a new Wii system for hotel guests.
Marriott International said it worked with Nintendo to develop a unique game system for guest rooms and lobbies in Marriott and Renaissance brand properties.
It allows hotel guests to select from a library of games without inserting game discs.
With the intuitive games menu, guests can just point the Wii Remote at a game and begin playing.
Included in each system are 20 popular games including Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario Galaxy, Wii Sports and fitness favorite Wii Fit. Marriott said new Wii games will be added to the menu as they become available.
The Wii guest room packages include unlimited Wii access for the entire stay, the company said.
