I really wouldn't describe Wii Fit as a "Party Style Game". It was a game simply about exercising, weighing yourself and tracking your progress. I think the fantasy elements and story will be a turn off to a large amount of people that Wii Fit appealed to. While to more traditional gamers it will be more appealing than Wii Fit was. Wii Fit captured a large crowd of non-gamers and I'm sure they'd much rather have a Wii Fit style game that's just focused on the actual exercises than having some goblins or whatever running around. This isn't going to be even remotely close to a 20m seller like Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus because it's got a much more limited market |
Wii Fit was very much a game, but a lot of the skill and progress was linked to physical improvement, as well as the connection between mind and body - particularly some of the balance games. I probably have 1000+ hours of Wii Fit stacked together over the years (I should check, I think Wii and Wii U record time spent on an app) and I'd say what I find less appealing about this game is that it looks like a smaller and less customizable package than Wii Fit. I would LOVE more game elements in exercising without losing the customizability and content variety.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
