So have had a Wii since Christmas

[superchunk]

Well I picked up Wii in February of 2007 and WiiFit for myself for Christmas and this is the basically one month experience with WiiFit.

Although my kids (2 boys, 1 girl 6, 5 and 2) have never asked for a Wii or Wii Fit they were excited that we got one. They have played WiiSports and WiiPlay a good deal (not as much as the other toys they got for Christmas, but they played it.) and also fooled around with WiiFit. My wife and I played a WiiSports, WiiPlay, WiiFit some as well as many other games and as for me, it was really what I expected. Turning a button into a flick of the wrist OR I could actually play as intended and it was really fun and very immersive. I could play and beat most people in really all the games without mimicing the motions of the real thing, but that is cheesy and cheating in my opinion. Its a lot more fun to actually try to play the game instead of being a douche like other people often do. However, keep in mind all games generally have some way of cheating the computer as they are merely programs that follow the same routines.

The big thing is that my wife and I decided to really give WiiFit a chance. That after all is why we wanted a WiiFit. We have been getting spending each night to each get 30 minutes in on WiiFit and another 30 minutes on a separate exercise bike we purchased. We have both lost some weight. So I guess that as a exercise device the Wii and WiiFit is doing its job, especially since we are also eating better and using other forms of exercise as intended. As for a console the Wii does get a lot of use, especially by me. Not intending on purchasing any additional software for the Wii any time soon. We received a lot of other toys and plenty of other games already in my library. Though once Conduit and a few others come out I'm sure I'll have to pick them up.
