First things first; I am a gamer I'm not a console warrior or anything so read before you reply.

Nintendo seem to be the new "Cow" with all the money desparate add-ons / applications... The reason people play video games is to relax or escape from reality. Wii Fit from what i've seen and played is a complete joke, I am a personal trainer and the balance based games are nothing more than a bit of cardio to get you sweating. You could lose more wieght doing a 10 - 20 min jog daily!!! Wii Fit is a total rip off, i'm shocked at the direction Ninty are going in, when i think of Nintendo i think of the good old days, not this new "Money hungy Nintendo". Nintendo need to realise, gamers just want to sit back and relax, not stand up swinging left and right looking like a banshee.

And when playing Wii Fit, it says something about it only being effective if you have a good diet / nutrition plan; which with any diet is true.. you would loose wieght on changing a unhealthy diet to a healthy one anyway.. Nintendo are real sly. Someone tell me why someone would pay £70 for a balance based videogame. When you could get a gym membership? If people really think balancing on a board is going to give them a ripped physique or what ever they think they will gain, they need a reality check.

/Rant over.

because not every one has the money for a monthly fee that gyms require or time.. Personally why does it bother any one? Its not like its affecting yoru gaming, and its a pretty good idea if people want it if its actually affective.. In the end who cares..

I know

God forbid they make a different kind of game

And the "exercise" I mean the game has jogging in it, when was the last time this "jogging"ever helped anyone lose weight?

Nintendo adding basic exercises and core strengthening in a package that's here to promote fun? Dear God what are they thinking?

WiiFit is not designed to make you lose weight. Thats from Nintendo. Its got a little cardio and some Yoga. Can you get a little more fit by using it regularly? Yes. But its not the answer to overall fitness. Fitness equipment is a HUUUUGGGEEE industry in the states. Do any one of the myriad exercise machines sold everyday MAKE you lose weight? No. Proper use will lead to results in the case of WiiFit or anything else.

The balance board is just a way to interact with your games a little more. I personally am looking forward to the ways it used in future games.

wiifit is in in line with what nintendo did in the past.

the wiifit balance board is functionally similar to the powerpad, although vastly superior

also, the wiimote is functionally similar to the powerglove, although vastly superior

Considering wii fit and the wii is an untested product within the market, I can't see how you can class it as milking. Nintendo wouldn't have known just how successful both were going to be.

This is what worries me about kids your Age. Using your body wieght to lose weight... Think about it for more than one second; Do you think eating Doritos will make you lose wieght? If so, good luck with your method. I was thinking more along the lines of push ups / sit ups / pull ups etc. But y'know you have to reply with immature comebacks.

Precisely I would rather do push-ups with a goal at the end everytime and a sense of achievment then just doing push-ups on my own. Bringing exercise techniques to people in a fun way is not a bad thing.

Why the hell would anyone need a trainer for? Hell i can name several better ways to lose weight than any personal trainer.

Nintendo have already got good press coverage from the Wii-mote, Wii-wheel and the Wii-Board. I'm sure a bunch of fat people losing a couple of LBS a month from help off Wii-Fit will add to this good coverage. If this game can offer close to work out of Mario and Sonic at the Olympics then i just laugh at the orignal poster!

If its affective mode of excercise, whats the problem? If it actually is a affectve tool that help people, and its popular.. Who cares? Whats the big deal?

I was on about in general and not just about "Wii Board" and "Consoles" as you claimed to be a personal trainer. I use to be a B-Boy (Break Dancer) which is about Strengh, Flexibility and being capable of changing where you hold your centre of gravity. Boxing is another way of getting fit which i enjoy as it involves Skipping, Medicene ball throwing, sparring, Speed bag and so forth... Why would i need a personal trainer when i can get a better overall workout just by B-Boying than going the gym! Hell last time i did a BMI i was 9% body fat.

What if the Wii-board replaces him? He's already inferior in the IQ department and cannot be called upon 24/7 so he must be feel threatened lol.

Yeah it is funny how the entire reason Sony fans are called cows is completely reversed this gen. MS and Nintendo are milking far far more than Sony ever did.

I care because, I remember Nintendo when they were Kings, now...

What a poor fanboyish argument.. They are still rankd by most the number one developer.. You sound like a spoiled little boy, they released more triple AAA's and AA's this gen then any single dev.. And yet your crying cause they release a product that doesn't catter you.. Poor poor baby.

They seem to just whip out the something that is apparently "Innovative" to cash in.

Are you disillusioned or something, Nintendo has brought out alot of stuff? Video games are a BUSINESS, these people make money for that.. Nintendo has cattered plenty to the fan base with the installement of Mario Galaxy, New Super Mario Brothers, Zelda Phantom Hour Glass and Twilight Princess, Metroid, Super Smash Brothers etc etc.. But oh noes!!! :cry: they make a game that doesn't catter to me.

Developers get an easy ride with Ninty aswell, so many Wii owners, majority of the games suck.

And those sucky games do not sell very well the best game still sell well.. And I hate to break it to you, the PS3 and Xbox360 have their share of crap games too.. You make it sound like the Wii has a monopoly in sucky games.. Maybe you can take your fanboy goggles off and realize this.

So developers just throw together some awful game and people buy. The sooner people realise that this is damaging the industry, the sooner people will start using thier brain.

What a comment.. How the hell do you know how good Wiifit is or isn't going to be.. For all we know it could get great ratings. The few ratings are does not show it as a absolute bomb but in the range of great games (8.1 average so far).. So everything you have said is either a fan boy comment or something that doesn't make sense.

People are confusing what WiiFit is.

Its not a weight loss program. Its a game. Its a game that while you play it you can stay fit

As much as I like the Wii. Wii Fit is nothing but a gimmick of the highest order but the casuals will eat it up for sure and that puts millions into Nintendo's pockets just like they want.

For those saying it's not markered to help you lose weight etc... and so forth it may not be. The average "overweight" lazy person is definitely going to look at Wii Fit and go "wow this looks like it could help me." just like how they fall for those stupid bowflexes/weight-loss pills etc...

Finally there are alot of idiots comments in this thread about "exercising" and I wonder how many of you guys actually train...

Me > Wannabe personal trainer who dont know nothing.

Excuse me? Look kid. Grow up. If you've done all that then you should know a fair bit about fitness.. Now what makes me wonder is the fact that you think a wii board will make you fit. Lying much? Me > A "B-boy" :lol: Go play some DDR, Kid.

your excused for being such a pathetic little twit! I'm not a child I'm 23. I'm capable of reading aswell unlike yourself as i never once said "The Wii-Board will get you fit" i said this "Why the hell would anyone need a trainer for? Hell i can name several better ways to lose weight than any personal trainer." which has nothing to do with the Wii but more of a poke at you for claiming that your a peronsal trainer. I do all that and more as i occasionally play Football (soccer). Yes i use to be a B-boy before DDR even came out when i was 15/16 which was many years ago but still use it for stretching and for working out against my own body weight.

Go and annoy someone else with your pathetic little existance Mr Dellusional!

wii fit was never meant to be an alternative to exercising. And the wii mote doesn't have to be swung like a squirrel on fire. The argument with "i don't wanna throw my arms around" is still existent? You can just flick your wrists lightly in wii sports lol.

Gym memberships are a scam. You can get ripped just by doing pushups and situps. A simple thing like that gives great results.

Wii Fit is like vitimin water. Pure BS people will buy into to feel better about themselves. Gee, I'll drink this vitimin water because they say its healthy and look how hip the bottle looks. Gee, I'll buy this wii fit thing instead of going outside.

tell that to the results i get. I'm a swimmer. I do pushups and situps after every 1 hour session. Don't tell me what works and what doesn't work. Besides, getting built is not about just working out. It's 10% working out and 90% nutrition. Wow, looks like you're very close minded.

No, you work out might work for you but 90% aren't going to get "fit" like that stop trying to tell people they're wrong because your genetics afford you minimum effort to be in shape.

then what;s the point of telling me i have no idea how to get fit. Genetics? Of course, I think that's common sense for how your body acts... how fast you digest food etc etc.

If you state that there is no "one" way to work out... how can you tell me that my way is wrong. We're getting off topic so let's stick to wii fit.

Sure, you don't have to go to the Gym. But; ever heard of using your own body wieght?

You mean like push ups that are also in Wii Fit?

Yeah I'm pretty sure even those out of the industry are aware of that "codename" for the exercise.

Precisely I would rather do push-ups with a goal at the end everytime and a sense of achievment then just doing push-ups on my own. Bringing exercise techniques to people in a fun way is not a bad thing.

Wow... Nintendo have brainwashed this one! :lol: @ your Logic. So your telling me, using a virtual game, and a "Board" is more fun than training / going to the gym with your friends?

nintendo has brainwashed alot of people this gen, just ignore them, they are to far gone to be saved lol

Apparently so because its selling well.. Not every one has a gym they can go to near by.. Gyms are sometimes extremely expensive, they put you in a plan that lasts for a half a year to a year or even more.. A deal you can't get out of.. Not every one has the time to go to the gym.. If its affective mode of excercise, whats the problem? If it actually is a affectve tool that help people, and its popular.. Who cares? Whats the big deal?

I care because, I remember Nintendo when they were Kings, now... They seem to just whip out the something that is apparently "Innovative" to cash in. Developers get an easy ride with Ninty aswell, so many Wii owners, majority of the games suck. So developers just throw together some awful game and people buy. The sooner people realise that this is damaging the industry, the sooner people will start using thier brain.

So basicly you're proving your an anti-nintendo fanboy now?

HALO2cookie stfu..

you dont know a thing about fitness..; based from your posts you make it sound like trainers are mandatory for people who are exercising and wanting to stay in shape..

i'm in the military and here in the military you're basically on your own; no one's going to teach you or feed you or even shape you - you do everything on your own (well most of it) and on top of that there are hundreds of thousands in the military that are in their prime shape and you dont even see them having a nice hot chick helping them exercise

Wiifit is basically another crazy innovation Nintendo ever produced; you dont like it, then dont buy it. It's business, and it's a helpful one too.

Also you make it sound like Wiifit is the only exerciser available for people who only owns a Wii just to stay fit.

FYI, there are people in the military who only owns a Wii and are even twice bigger than you or any gamers in this forum alone..

ye.. ive seen older people even in their 20s- 60s picking up the wii. Classifying something as kiddy just proves that they are kiddy themselves.

I think Wii Fit in itself is a huge gimmick by Nintendo but I'm sure alot of people will enjoy it. I just feel sorry for those who are going to go into this "game" thinking they'll drop weight (besides an extra couple of pounds depending on their body).

I play football ect... with my friends I just don't like going to the gym it cost a bomb and its difficult to find the time, Wii fit provides an entertaining cheap way to at least do some sort of exercise. Why can't Nintendo make a product for people that want it?

Yes I do find Wii fit more entertaining than going to a gym because believe it or not, not everyone enjoys what you find entertaining!

Thank you sir!

I just wanted to share some of my qualities and acknowledge that Wiifit is an incredible alternative exerciser for people who only owns a Wii and have the opportunity to get in shape, not a main one like bowflex or the gym itself.
