Wii Fit (with Wii Balance Board) - Nintendo Wii

Posted : 1 year, 5 months ago at Jun 5 5:18

I chose to buy the Wii specifically because of the Wii Fit. I was lucky enough to get one at work last week, as they are in short supply and hard to get. From the night I brought it home, I have yet to skip a day "playing" this game. I love it, and even when I am tired and my body aches from a long day at work, I still spend at least 20 minutes playing the balance games and doing some of the aerobics exercises which seem so much like playing games you can forget you are actually exercising.

This is one of the best things I think I have ever bought, and I can't wait to see what other games and exercises will be unlocked the longer I play.

Wii Fit is destroying the industry! It’s making videogames a living hell for gamers! The gamers who like to spew their opinions on forums aren’t exactly mild for Nintendo’s new project. It’s because Wii Fit is basically not a game at all. It might be so successful that it will destroy ‘real’ games. Seriously, will that ever happen? Absolutely not. There is more than enough room now in this industry to have all sorts of genres. And early signs indeed point towards commercial success for this game to keep yourself in shape. I’m here to tell you that it’s well deserved. Wii Fit will calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) so that it knows if you are too fat or not. It comes down to this. If you have heavy muscles, you’re fucked, the game will still think you’re too fat. Th...Read more
