WiiFit - 69.99 release date January 1st

Looks like the price will be 70 bucks and it will be released on the first day of the year. That's a rather strange day to release a game if you ask me but what do I know. 70 dollars is pretty steep. Anyone changed their mind about getting this based on the price? I know I'm going to get it.

:lol:

I wish I had a better response.

January 1st is the day everyone is trying to get started on their New Year's resolutions. Sounds like the right day to release it to me...EscobarPR_basic

"My new years resolution is going to be loosing some weight"

How ******** cliched is that. I guarantee you most people that will be playing WIIFIT will be FIT people.

Nope havent changed my mind. Still not getting it.

LOL @ *eff standing on wii fit. in the video review. LOLZ

Nope. Not getting it.

yeah ill get it, i need to start exersizing more lol.walkerctranger

That's exercising. Maybe you should start with Wii Degree

has any exercise game ever done well? this may sell in japan because anything wii is teh **** there, but i can't imagine that many people buying it especially at that price/.

btw ddr is not an exercise game, it's a dance game. wiifit on the other hand is for getting fit. also, no one wants to do hula hooping. finally, i really doubt you can get toned muscles or lose substantial weight from this game.0

Don't think so, but just because games of this type haven't done well before doesn't mean it can't in the future. For one, none of them were made by a developer as large as Nintendo and with this much exposure.

Yeah gyms and personal trainers make all their money in the beginning of the year.

So they are releasing it on the first day of the year to catch the fitness boom that happens every January. They are also releasing it right after Christmas so people will return tons of gifts in exchange for this. (Because that Tuesday after Christmas has actually turned into a big DVD/Music release date. Our industry is no different.)

And it's $10 too much. $70 is kind of high.

Wow $70, do nintendo think people are gonna pay this much? Tamarind_Face

Apparently yes, considering that's the price they're going for.

Can someone tell me what's going on? Mil-m5

Nintendo is taking over.

As someone from the UK $70 seems a little steep. I'm more than likely going to get it when it comes here(Provided it retails at the right price).

To add...

I'd gladly spend £250+ for this. Slightly more workout too. the game owns to boot.

WiiFit sounds like damn fun and being the lardy-arse I am, it may be a good way of exercising that I won't be bored of.

I'll save you $70. Every 30 mins just get up from playing games walk to your mail box and back and I guarentee you will lose more weight than Wii Fit will ever help you lose..and by more I mean no weight at all.

:lol:

Why January 1st?

28 posts, and nobody considered the date and price might just be placeholders?

C'mon, people.

The most common New Years Resolution is to lose weight. All it will take is a little ad work from Nintendo, some positive mainstream press, and before you know it, gyms nation-wide will be signing up for this. It could be HUGE for Nintendo, but you - the hardcore - just don't see that! Paul_Phoenicks

Who cares about Nintendo? Do you work for them?

Um, maybe Nintendo fans care because they want Nintendo to do well so they can continue making games?

You think i'm gonna even spend $70 on that crap? It's essentially another CONTROLLER, now Nintendo are going to start making games for Wiifit controller. What next? WiiBed? Wii headGear?Riviera_Phantom

meh. ppl bought guitars and dancepads so why not?

I'd never get it, if i want to get fit, id go jogging, or to a gym. Your home video game console isnt the best place to go to get fit.max_20027

If the Wii can offer the same type of workout as fitness videos or a personal trainer, then does it matter what format it's in?

gyms cost money too though. and a yoga instructor costs money too.

People seem to not realize you can do as much physical activity as you want, but if you still eat like crap you aren't going to lose any weight.

I can imagine it now, well I worked out on my Wiifit today so I think I'll go ahead and get a second Big Mac.

That's ENTERTAINMENT. Excercise =/= Entertainment.

This can apply to any form of workout.

But some people do find exercise fun.

this has always been the truth. but americans will always look for another way. they don't have the self control to eat less.

Exactly, I was just saying how dumb our society is. People do eat worse after doing a little bit of working out and wonder why they aren't losing weight and then give up all together.

And I was just responding to everyone thinking they will buy the WiiFit do some exercise and expect to start dropping pounds. Its not going to happen.

Point taken. Agree with that.
