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. |
Actually at least in my Japanese version, the in-game Wii Board avatar thing says about eating healthy and doing other things as well. But as I discussed in another thread, I think it is also more likely to keep people on an exercise plan because of displaying your progress and the virtual trainer's comments and encouragements. Of course other exercise and going outside is good for you as well. Also, for some people, this is not the game for them, but based on some of the around 40 minute competitions I've had a few times with people, I feel it is at least a reasonably good game. Maybe not 9 or 10 in total, but I can see 8.
