View of Wii-fit from a non-Wii owner's prespective (No Wii owners allowed)

@kingofwale... I just want to ask, why can't you use the quote button? are you posting from a restrictive browser (phone?) or something?

regarding Wii Fit, I can't say I was initially interested in the ame at all, but the actual balance board opens up a lot of possibilities for me, and I hope soon that third parties get their asses into gear reagarding some neat ideas.

I have grown a bit more interested in the actual Wii Fit game though, because early on I had only seen videos for the Yoga, the Skiing and the football heading thing, which didn't seem worth it (the skiing looks good but I wasn't going to buy all that just for 1 minigame).
I am in two minds whether to buy it still, but that's mainly because it will be expensive and I rarely spend more than £40 on a game... I imagine I might get it when it is chaper and some other games have included the functionality of the balance board (no doubt all early third party efforts will just be copies of Wii fit, or else hybrids of Wii fit and DDR though)

because I don't like box within box within box... lol, you catch my drift.

Thanks for someone for posting 2 videos. I've only seen Wiifit in action in the soccer game, but wow, poor guy's first pushup wasn't even counted. lol, what's your view on it? It kind of re-enforced my believe it's actually a 'workout video'. ;)

 in the second video, the guy's say "you have to keep the dot in the yellow box, it's not as easy as it looks". hmmm, isn't the dot your centre of gravity? So if it goes over the yellow box, you fall over, Physics 101, I don't think it's impossible for you to NOT be in the yellow box. lol

also, here's people who said that PS3/360 fans better start getting used to mini-games, because it will be taking over. (or something of this sort), I utterly disagree. Sure, we will see tons of this kind of game for Wii, but I will not buy it and I hope most people won't (at least shovelwares), and big company will still make good, high budget games that push the graphical power on PS3 and 360.

 

what we will have is a huge division between Wii and PS360. If without games like Zelda, SMG, SSBB, MK, Z&W, NMH, MP3, there will not be any agreement between Wii and PS360 fans.

 And you keep misunderstanding what people are saying. so let me spell it out for you, The Market is bit enough to hold all types of games, nobody wants mini games to replace anything, and i think by this you have shown what your insecurity truly is. Even with examples of great games coming in the future, Monster Hunter 3, Resident Evil 5, and MGS4, you still feel threatened. Well then, you will always get your big deep fantasy adventure games, don't worry about that, many developer have said they are not interested in making mini/casual games.
