Who is Mickey DeLorenzo?
Mickey DeLorenzo, also known as hey_suburbia, became known worldwide as the "Wii Workout Guy" in January 2007. DeLorenzo, a 27 year old Nintendo fan and blogger from Philadelphia, PA, turned his passion for the Wii console into an experiment, just days after its November 2006 release. For six weeks, DeLorenzo played the video game Wii Sports every day and made no other alteration to his diet or exercise habits. Ultimately he lost 9 lb. He played a significant role in the renewal of the "exergaming" craze that swept through gamers' living rooms, gyms, nursing homes, and schools during 2007. He was featured in newspapers, on TV, and websites all over the world.
DeLorenzo is also the owner and editor-in-chief at NintendoFuse, a gaming website, containing reviews, news, and coverage of Nintendo games and consoles.
