I don't understand how you can qualify developping a peripheral like the Wii Fit board who can measure weight and your movement on it as a cheap cash-in.

Here's the way I see it: For me, this game fits into the same category as Wii Sports, Sonic & Mario, and ect. This game, like the others I mentioned, is a low budget game meant only to cash in on the Wii. Therefore, it's a cheap cash-in like the other games. If this were a third-party game doing the exact same thing, you guys would be calling it low quality party game BS.

Because Nintendo pays hardware expects to make a balance board, and fitness experts to develop the 'games' and routines and feedback responses, instead of a (larger) game design/graphic staff does not in any way make this cheap.  Fact it, since it's never been done it's likely cost more than an average game to produce.
