People like us who regularly read gaming news etc are likely to be the only kind of people who understand exactly what Wii-Fit is (in the same way the consumer doesn't know about DLC on the 360 for GTA). We all know that Wii-Fit can't offer any siginifant health/fitness benefits in comparison to healthy eating , proper exercise (jogging , push up's sit up's Etc Etc). According to the consumer protection act ( I think it is the consumer protection act) products should do exactly what they are advertised to do , Wii-Fit gives the consumer the imediate impression that the game would offer health benefits to the user , I'm pretty sure it's benefits are negible. If some one believs they can play and loose weight at the same time how less likely are to engage in physical actiivty that actualy does have health benefits. If nintnedo put a disclaimer on Wii-Fit like : should not be used purely as a means of loosing Weight or getting fit , regular exercise and a healthy diet should not be neglected. Then i'd be compleltey fine with it , but I dought they'll do that for the sake of sales. |
OMG. I can't believe I actually read that post. I feel like I've lost some IQ points.
If the box said "Lose weight and get in prime physical shape", then you might have a point. It doesn't and you don't.
On topic: Read the quote in my sig. I kind of wish that all of the gaming websites would score this game really low so that they could all cry their fanboy tears for the rest of the year while wiifit sells millions.
I wonder when someone will start a website that caters to the "casual" gamer. Game reviewers for the most part don't have a clue how to deal with games that don't fit into their preconcieved notions of gaming. A site with a focus on flash games, mini games, xbla, psn, vc and wiiware would probably get a ton of traffic if properly handled and promoted. There's obviously a lot people playing these games, somebody should make some money off of them.
