DDR has already been done to death nintendo why are you tryin to rip them off an steal other ppls inventions? This Wii-fit machine is 2 generations behind old DDR and Stepmania game pads an use your feet to detect weight on 4 different sensors instead of only 2 on wii fits machine

this stuff is so old its really lame that nintendo is tryin to act like its all NEW an stuff...:| THIS AINT NEW! this IS OLDER TECH THEN the ps1

schools an gyms have already been using DDR pads for optional workout routines in gym classes for alternatives

and the workout you get from runnin around on a fast DDR settings is much higher then the slow paced yoga an bad mini games on the wii fit machine

u could work out so muich more doing high settings on DDR cuz u will be sprininting on the pad, and also i question the WII-FITS plastic pad's technology compared to the high endsteel/metalDDRpads there highly made an perform very accurately an can be used by people of all shapes an sizes

that plastic pad looks very cheaply made

so lets review

if u wanna work out DDR is better or going to a gym is better

if u want more fun workin out DDR is better cuz all thsoe amazing songs are so fun an theres bound to bve ones ull like

if u want better technology the DDR has 4 places to put ur feet much more room for a hardcore gamer to be challenged with 4 diff foot slots then the casual easy to use 2 slots

an yah the steel pads arent made out of plastic

Well I do say, you never fail to surprise me with your creative threads.

Placing Wii Fit as a rehash of DDR... Oh man, that's a new one.

Here's the innovation, it senses weight displacements (they aren't just foot buttons) so it gets an idea of how the rest of your body is positioned.

The Wii Fit board is much much more advanced than step mania and DDR boards... And neither of them give you Yoga.

Edit: Also, the idea behind Wii Fit is to give people a workout that is easy to do and as low impact as possible.

Do you honestly think people are gonna read this and go "Nah, I'm soo not getting Wii Fit now."

Also "Nintendo copying other peoples innovations" ... please, Nintendo are victims of that, not the culprits.

how is a sensor that detects weightr innovation?

have u ever heard of a weight machine? it shows u how much u weigh an they look almost identical to the wii fit board some are even made out of metal an not plastic

any person could put weight machines an make them for gaming ANYONE this isnt new is all im saying ITS A WEIGHT SENSOR which has been around for over 50 years yet ur tryin to tell me thats neW? have u been to a gym or a doctors office they all have weight machines u step on them an they tell u how much u weigh if u lift a footup or press down hard it might say u weigh different this isnt new tech ppl invtended this years ago

just cuz nintendo is crzy enough to use it for gaming doesnt make it innovating if i made a calculator game that comeas iwth its own calculator an u can input math an stuff into the game IS that gaming innovation just putting 2 things together that havent been done b4 but both have existed thats not innovation its not brand new its puttin one thing into another one an lettin u use it for somethin else

I'm guessing idiot.

Whether he's an idiot, troll, or just a stupid Nintendo hater, his lack of sentence constructing and spelling gives me a headache, and it's not even a good read.

Yeah pretty much. Even though I think its sad that someone made a thread bashing Wii Fit (Wii Fit does it by itself). Whats even more pathethic is people actually defending Wii Fit calling people who bash it Nintendo haters or Wii haters. If you were a true Nintendo fan you would stick up for games like SMG and SSBB and not games like Wii Fit.

NO!

If you were a true Nintendo fan, then you would have to follow all of Nintendo's philosophies such as catering to the casuals and such. And Nintendo in not abandoning the hardcore. Wii Fit is here to stay whether you like or not, and besides what way is it to make America skinny?

the ps3 innovates a crapload

it has the cell chip which is used in super computers

it has a very high tech graphics chip

it has blu-ray storage disc capacity and hard drive as well as high definition support

I RESPECT THE PS3 I RESPECT IT becuz no computer is 400 dollars that can match IT for price for price point it just cant be done blu-ray players alone cost 400 dollars good luck gettin a blu-ray drive on ur comp for an all the other goodies that come in the ps3 for 400 dollars

the PS3 has my respect an my attention somethin the wii fails to do it does not WOW me or amaze me it does not make me go OMG amazing

it does not push anythin thats what i call lack of innovation

the wii tried to copy ps3's six axiscontrol with the wii mote and the stole playstation 2's analog placement on the cube controller

wii also tried to steal ps3 spotlight by announcing its release day 2 days b4 the ps3 again it cant even make up its own marketing so it lets sony market for them

get outa here with the ps3 not innovating DO U WANT IT DO U NEED IT YES it is the best deal in the world its a great peice of tech

Games like FPS have been done to death, probably before you were born.

And we still like them.

Not everything has to innovate, though Wii-Fit actually does.

Do they?

it has a very high tech graphics chip

ProtossRushX

from what I've been told is easily out done by PC graphics cards.

it has blu-ray storage disc capacity and hard drive as well as high definition support

ProtossRushX

I'll give ya the blu-ray,my compy doesn't have that :( But my compy does have a harddrive(didn't the xbox?), wheres the innovation? My compy does HD... wheres the innovation?

I RESPECT THE PS3 I RESPECT IT becuz no computer is 400 dollars that can match IT for price for price point it just cant be done blu-ray players alone cost 400 dollars good luck gettin a blu-ray drive on ur comp for an all the other goodies that come in the ps3 for 400 dollars

ProtossRushX

Respect a thing called periods, they are not just for women anymore. I haven't seen anything on the Ps3 that makes me go wow, but what do I know?

it does not push anythin thats what i call lack of innovation

ProtossRushX

ok

the wii tried to copy ps3's six axiscontrol with the wii mote and the stole playstation 2's analog placement on the cube controller

ProtossRushX

Ok, when was the sixaxis announced? Oh thats right, AFTER the wii's controller was shown. As for GCN and Ps2 controller, their analog sticks wheren't in the same configuration, Nintendo had analog sticks BEFORE Sony, lest we not forget the N64. Which oddly enough, didn't Sony come out with the dual shock AFTER the N64 was released? I'm pretty sure my original psx controller had no analog anything on it.

wii also tried to steal ps3 spotlight by announcing its release day 2 days b4 the ps3 again it cant even make up its own marketing so it lets sony market for them

ProtossRushX

Didn't the Wii release a few days after the Ps3? Don't be mad because the Wii did it better.

get outa here with the ps3 not innovating DO U WANT IT DO U NEED IT YES it is the best deal in the world its a great peice of tech

ProtossRushX

thats outdated.

yeah, my Wii may be using outdated tech as well, but I have fun playing the games I play on it. So you would probably have fun playing a Ps3 if you owned one, I could probably find a few games I like for it, but that doesn't mean its a godsend like you make it out to be.

You know nothing at all about video game history do you? I could pick apart every post you made but it not worth my time. I understand that you are a Sony fanboy that is fine. But please before you start making fun of Nintendo for not being innovate learn more about gaming's history.

It seems about everything he spouts out on SW is sig worthy.

I really hope he is just being a troll and not really this ate up. It scares me sometimes when I see stuff like he post that they actually would let people like this out in public without close supervision. :lol:
