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 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.

Through May 11, shoppers who "pre-order" the $89.74 game, or pay in advance to guarantee delivery when the game launches, will also get a $10 online gift card to use for a future order at Walmart.com.
