Do you all really think Wii Fit can sell well in America? I doubt it. Japan has different gaming tastes, if Wii Fit even qualifies as a game...

If every idiot believed in soemthing as stupid as the Atkins Diet then ppl will buy this.
[QUOTE="bri360"]Why call it "Wii fit"? Why not "Wii are too lazy to go outside."soulsofblayck
There is nothing wrong with using technology to replace something old-fashioned. People change and lifestyles change due to technology. I would think a simulation of some sort or a challenge is a hell of alot more fun and not as boring as people are accustomed to when they jog outside.
You wont get "fit" with wii fit. It has almost no cardio exercise in it, other than gentle steps which wont get your heartrate up for long enough to burn fat, which is what most people need to stay healthy. Its more of a muscle toner if you will, but I cant see getting any big results from it.

More entertaining then conventional exercise. I'm getting it.
Wiifit is just pseudo exercise. You won't get fit doing any of that.
Well, you wouldn't consider DDR-hard songs that is- over a half hour exercise either?
DDR and Wii fit seem to be quite different. Wii fit is more like the junk you see sold by those TV commercials where you see some celebirty saying how great and "easy" it is to get fit. When Nintendo is selling this stuff it's more appealing for some reason.
And no, you won't get fit.
I've heard people say that Opera joke so many times I'm sure by now Ninty must have to. SO I think thats exactly what they will do. It's going to happen just like people have said. Scary I know.
I think Wii Fit is a good idea because it will actually train you to do exercises correctly, my ex-gf was very good at yoga and explained to me how doing them in the right way and in the right order was very important. Just having an interactiveprogram that explains how to do those postions or movements correctly would be very useful indeed.
Personally I'm going to get it.It looks fun too.Once you add in the extra games that will be made for the wiiboard it's a no brainer.
i think FIFA takes world, madden just takes US. I dunno though, this game selling doesn't bother me too much. kudos to nintendo for pulling it off, they've earned it.Good bye gaming?
I'm just as uncomfortable with this as seeing Madden take the world top charts every year. (Not trying to say the game sucks for fact)

Ok, after reading the post with impressions on page 5.....I have to say.
Anyone who is "feeling the burn" is most likely very unhealthy and should probably just invest in a gym membership.
Join a Gym that costs £700 ($1400) a year for membership? you have to be kidding. WiiFit is cheaper at least :)vengi
What damn gym do you go to lol.....you can get a 13 month membership for like $400
I think some people here show too much hate or negativity toward WiiFit, like "if you really want to be in shape or build your body, do some REAL exercise or hit the gym", along those lines. Do people honestly think everyone buying WiiFit wants to be in top shape or become body builder? I believe many people buying WiiFit or plan to buy it think it's interesting to play some mini-games or to interact with the program, while doing some exercise or body movement. Sounds more healthy to play some WiiFit than sitting on the couch watching TV or play online games all day when you are home.
If some people actually enjoy WiiFit, think it's fun and become more aware of health issues, what's so bad about that? Saying WiiFit is useless and real exercise is better, as if people who bought WiiFit will never do real exercise, is like saying people who spend a lot of time playing video games must be out of shape and lazy. Making false claims.
I know what some people are thinking, WiiFit is too expensive for what it is, only some pretty looking shooters and sports games are worth the price. Nintendo is making too much money already, it's evil for them to create another hit among casuals. Another game aiming at the casual? Oh noes, DEATH OF GAMING !!!!
Since people can get over with Nintendogs and Brain Age, I think they will soon get over with WiiFit. Afterall, it's just another game (or whatever you want to call it), it's just gonna be another one of Nintendo's recent hits, no big deal. ;)
You ever wonder why people buy soccer, football, basketball, Tony Hawk games?wii fiit is so stupid ... i allready see peopel in their living rooms running on their wii fit pads ... even tho they coudl go outside and do the same thing ... except ... well more realistic, and with better graphics.

Why play Guitar Hero? Get a real guitar.
Why play sport games? Play sports
Why buy music? Sing it yourself.

Why you want WiiFit? Go out there and do some exercise !
Why drink any beverage? Drink water, cheaper and heathier !
Why come to SW? Go out there and argue with real people !
Japanese peoplewill end up never going to school they'll just buy grade 1-12 on ther DS and Wii.
Seriously they buy so much CRAP over there it isn't funny. Face arobics DS? No thanks.

Wiifit does nothing for you. Lifting, Swimming, and running aren't meant to be entertaining...they're meant to keep you in shape. I suppose if you want to blow $80 just to step up on a platform over and over again go for it. You can get the same amount of exercise of the Wiifit by doing 10 pushups and stepping up on a stair for 10 minutes though. Not exactly helping.
You dont even know what the game is about, you actually do push-ups, and i've heard there is some cardio.
Stop judging the game, hater.

What's the difference between going to a gym than doing the excercise at home?
Most of you guys don't know, but going to a gym doesn't help losing weight, it helps building and toning your mucles. Going to a gym for cardio or arobic excersive IMO is a waste of time.

Ever tried holding various poses for about 20 seconds straight? Exercise isn't entirely about fast movement.

SW is hilarious!! I don't know but it sounds as if the COWS and LEMMINGS are so mad at Nintendo because they are selling their systems like crazy. Now I know its not all Cows and Lemmings because the majority of them are not rabid fanboys.y. So much rage so much wasted rage. I mean this is so old.
A lot of people say "Nintendo is kiddy" well I got news for you, anyone who claims that gaming is DEAD, i mean DEAD come on, because Nintendo is selling their products is the one who is kiddy it is the lamest comment ever. And HONESTLY if you think gaming is dead because the Wii is selling and WiiFit and DS lite and all this other "gimmicky" stuff is selling so well WHY not do something about it put down your 360 or PS3 controller buy a PC because supposedly PC gaming has been dead for along time now but for some reason there are still games being produced.
True gamers one, embrace any new innovative ideas and two, are not making outlandish claims that Nintendo, of all companies, is killing gaming. And honestly who is anyone here to define what gaming is. These topics are simply out cries for help because Nintendo haters don't like the fact that they are making money. Because games like MASS EFFECT, UNCHARTED, CRYSIS, FINAL FANTASY, METAL GEAR SOLID, CoD, CoH, etc... these supposedly true games are I can promise you are not going anywhere!
