Are you or do u think it's a waste to play mini games that just make u lean side to side.I'm just saying do u really need a board to do push ups ? i think they could 've used it alot better like in fps maybe to lean or dodge etc.... but is anyone here going to but it and the reason why the wii sales cause of low price but wii fit seems to b price a bit high for it's casual market

I have zero interest in it. The only Wii games that attract me are Mario Kart and Okami.

Id get it if i wanted to keep my wii. But there seems to be alot of people (older people (around their 30s) atleast) that are interested and can certainly afford 90 bucks since they blow hundreds on fake diets. Plus with Nintendo pushing this so much its bound to catch on. even if people hate it, all Nintendo needs to do is get them to buy it.

Looks fun for about 15 minutes, then something that disappears into the closet for eternity.

No way I would even consider it for $90. If I was going to exercise on a mat I'd go DDR way before I go with Wiifit.

No. I'm spending $109 on some new running shoes and doing stuff that, you know, actually qualifies as exercise.

The original NES was said to be doomed to be a failure because the control used arrows and the controler was called a gimmick. Nintendo had to release it with ROB the robot and called it a entertainment system and not a video game system due to the fact that video game systems were called gimmicks by so called experts. One person's gimmick is another person's movement. Rumble, touch control for the DS, Wiimote and more were called gimmicks. So why would being a gimmick be stupid? It called be smart and thinking out side of the box.

Do you have rockband? Me and my friends play and if I play drums for an hour or so I get pretty sweaty. Of course I tend to get a little crazy and really beat the crap out of them. :)

Trying to change from calling Wiifit a gimmick because you lost that battle. To now just attacking the Wii altogether....Kinda sad and lame but if it makes you happy

It there any game were it needed and can not be played with a normal controller or mouse....No

Are there games made better with because you could use the Wiimote..... Yes and many of them

Could you play a point and click like Zack and Wikki with a normal controller..... Yes it was done in the past and failed. The Wiimote is the best way to play a point and click on a console system.

Can you play MP3 on with a normal controller? Yes but here what IGN had to say about it playing with a Wiimote

It plays better than any first-person console game ever... really. And it's one of Wii's best lookers, too.

Not my words IGN who also gave the game a 9.5.

Could you play Wiisports with a normal controller? Yes......Would it be has fun I would say heck no but that my opinion.

I could keep this up all night but I think I made my point.

I will buy it, but only as more games start using the balance board. Or maybe even before that, it looks like my family would have fun with it.
