Yes, yes, despite all the dribble about Nintendo making "non-games" and what not they're still very much a gaming company, and still approach even their expanded audience titles with the same gaming centric formats that have long become standards.
As you already pointed out, it works with Wii Sports and Wii Play because they're still purely games at heart. But WiiFit has the added angle of being a viable piece of an excercise routine, and those kind of video game staples are just hinderance for anyone wanting to use it for that reason.
If you pick an exercise from your favorites it seems to skip some (not all) of that nonsense. But that's hardly enough. It seems like an option to set-up your own routines wouldn't have been hard to include. Just set-up a section where you pick which excerises in what order you want and name it and the game would just run you through them without stopping to go back to the main menu. Really annoying omission, I agree.
Can't help thnk Wii Music may be a response to this, as it sounds like they're going through great lengths to avoid many staples included in almost every video game.
