And it will be the biggest selling game of all time.

Watch this and then say it's a gimmick, the ski jump is genius and shows this thing has amazing potential that can't be reached on other platforms, once this thing is in the shops MS and Sony are finished, simple as that.

If not it'll be the best selling bathroom scale of all time.

Not imressed. Other than the weight specific stuff, most of what is being done can be done with the Eyetoy or Vision Cam. There was also a fitness game for the PS2 and Xbox long before this came out, called Yourself Fitness.

I thought the Wiimote was "revolutionary" - so why does it need a board for games?

I'm asking the same thing. I'm still waiting for traditional style games to wow me with the control setup packaged in the box. But instead at E3 they show us this.

Imagine the Wiiboard as your jetski in wave race, and the Wiimote is your steering wheel, in Wii sports 2 you standtilt on the board to move your tennis player and hit the ball with your Wiimote.

There is endless possibilities when you combine the two,there is nothing on 360,PC or PS3 that will be able to compete, eye toy will be a cheap rip off compared to Wiimote + Wiiboard combinations in games. This is the start of something very big for Nintendo.

Wii Fitness was a good idea, but nothing special for gaming. I'll stick to Wii Sports since it was free.It's a good design, but most gamers will find it to be nothing special. No good games will be made using it and Wii Fitness will definitely not be something that is fun for more than 15 minutes.

Nothing new about fitness games (hell, those dance games are even in that genre). Only difference for Wiifit is that Nintendo is advertising it as something big while it just was another-one-of-those for the other platforms.

If this is the future of gaming...then I'm out. Really.

But there's a reason standard controls have existed since the beginning -- they work, they don't make you jump on a pressure pad at the end of a long day and flail about like a monkey, and they're simple but effective. Ultimately, something like WiiFit is uneccessary, because you could just buy yourself a $5 yoga pad and work out for real.

If Wii Fit (and the Wii for that matter) is the new era in gaming...then I'm done gaming.PS3Compass

Coming from PSECompass, that doesn't surprise me.

After all, just wait a year or two and Sony will incorprate their own balance board into the PS3 to revive its dead sales.

Look, you can't possibly say Ninty isn't trying to expand and better gaming because certainly just adding pixls to the screen isn't exactly the most original strategy.

And If you're even ready to quit gaming coz of something like that, you'd be what they call a "casual" then. Not that I'm one for name calling but you would be. Coz you would quit gaming coz of something minor you didn't like that doesn't even immediately effect you're chosen platform.

A "hardcore" gamer would just see it through. You know the old idea of , mmm i dunno trying everything before judging and realising that it isn't the end of the world.

I can't imagine how well a FPS could work with this Wii Fit board. The Fitness thing doesn't seem up my alley but then again I didn't think Brain Age, Touch Controls, Pikmin, etc were either and I love them.

I mean imagine leaning to dodge a bullet, or just playing soccer like they showed at E3.

Look if you're really that melodramatic as to think its the end of gaming or something like that then stop buying products I and others could be putting to a better purpose.

With that attitude you don't belong in gaming.

Both 360/PS3 is fighting over it's games, while the Wii owners are claiming Wii Fit is the god.:? Well, it better be for $19.99 so soccer moms (whom doesn't even want to run for 30 minutes or work with freeweights) can buy.

$300 for a gym membership or a Wii with Wii fit, the best choice would be the gym membership, but I can understand why a lot of people will choose the Wii. There are just too many people out there that are intimidated by the gym. No pain no gain, and little exercises on Wii Fit will not cause pain.

Don't take this the wrong way Sheep, but if Wii Fit is the new era gaming, we're in a lot of trouble.
