Are you Gonna Get Wii Fit?

[BIGsheep]

I initially wasn't going to get this but then my gf showed an interested and we picked it up last weekend.

It's an interesting bit of kit and a lot better than I thought it would be. The yoga and exercise portions are almost like brain training in their setup, i.e. they give you a Wii Fit age and encourage you to come back frequently. The mini-game sections are fun but do suffer from the old Wii problem of just being a mini-game selection.

Personally, I think this is a good start and I'm interested in the potential of the Wii board. One good snowboard game should do for me.

God no. Never buying this thing. Although, I would if Dylan Yoshi's conditions are met (who could resist yet another WarioWare based off a different peripheral? This is where it thrives ).

[Shaz]

No.

Lamest thing ever

Should be fun to make a Luigi vid with this thing

And guiz, it's not a video game. It's a home fitness kit.

Coming Soon: The Nintendo Rectal Probe Controller.

Nope, I don't plan on buying it. But I'd sure buy a Wario Ware game that uses the Wii Balance Board!

I've already got it preordered. I think it looks fun and interesting to use, and hopefully I'll lose a pound or two in the process.

But games that lose their appeal after a short while, like every Wii Sports clone, Wii Play, and now Wii Fit are selling like mad. I want to play actual games, not flail my arms around for hours. The worst part is, casuals who play Wii Sports refuse to play any other game on the Wii, other than maybe Guitar Hero (but that's an entirely different topic).

I have Z and W...but why did not the dev had a bigger marketing budget...the title is only known by real gamers...most others have never heard from it....

Got it yesterday. This is a really fun piece of kit.

No. Because I'd just go do some gull dang exercise if I wanted to lose weight. Which, I don't, because I'm already really skinny from doing absolutely nothing.

However, I won't buy. First, I just considered it, but when I saw the price (which is more than the price of the usual games), I decided not to buy it. Nope. (I can (or can't lol) do push-ups on the floor, too)

It's not just aerobic exercise. There are muscle work outs, yoga and balance 'games' aswell.
