My ticket
Queue in front of me when I got upstairs
Queue behind me (lots more around the corner)
Sell out confirmed!
It's a lot heavier than I thought. Time to go play.
Okay, I'm done for the day.
I did these exercises:
Body Building:
Sit ups - which aren't like I was used to back in school, you rase your legs and your upper body and meet at the middle, I did pretty well, but towards the end I could really feel the burn in my stomach
Push ups - again, it's not just straight push-ups, first they teach you the proper form, (which I didn't know) and they put in these side arm stands in after every push up, alternating left and right. This exercise really got me, it was tough. My arms feel heavy after doing it.
Twisting excersize - spin your body left and right without moving your legs, then do it while bending over. this was easy, but they try to focus more on your balance and rhythm, which...wasn't so easy lol.
Lunges - This was tough also, you put yourself in a front stance, then bend your back knee down and then raise it up, basic level was 10 reps per leg, this was tough.
Walking something or other - You stand in place and then extend your arm and leg to kind of simulate walking\skating, never heard of it before, was kinda easy to do. Another one where they focus on rhythm and balance.
Yoga:
Hero stance - Kinda like a light version of the lunge, Yoga isn't that stressfull so it was kind of a nice way to calm down. This was part of my leg training they had me set for the day.
Balance:
Skiing - This is hard, but fun.
Soccer - HARD ARGGG, I think most people will suck hardcore when they play this for the first time. It's hard getting used to the BB.
Ski Jump - Easy, super fun.
Monkey ball - Starts out easy, gets super hard, but never feels "too" hard.
Tight rope - I fell :( You have to walk forward by shifting your balance left and right. It was kinda tough. (unlockable)
Cardio:
Hula hoop: This is the game that will make you look the most ridiculous. So for people who are embarassed by pelvic thrusts, do not try this game.
Jogging: It's kinda weird seeing Hitler wave back at you while you are on a nice afternoon Jog.
Dancing: Awwww yeah, fun as hell.
That's all I'm playing for now, gotta go get lunch.
I just got Wii Fit. I haven't tried it yet, because I just got home, but I took cellphone pics at Shinjuku West Bic Camera. It was fairly busy.
- Yes, lots of people were buying the game. Before I entered the store, I noticed 5 people with Wii Fit crossing the street outside the store.
- A few people bought a Wii system with the game. Notably older, middle-aged men.
- One person bought Super Mario Galaxy. 
- Saw one person buying a Wii system, Wii Play, Wii Sports and Wii Fit. And what I thought was Biohazard Umbrella Chronicles, although it could have been Biohazard 4 Wii Edition as well.
- The press were there taking pictures of people at the registers and people trying the trial version at the Wii Fit kiosk.
- They had tons in stock and they had more crates in storage, possibly due to the fact the Shinjuku store is a flagship store for Bic (hence the press)
- They had a special cash register away from the main section for Wii Fit and Wii system purchases, although relatively few actually utilized it because it is a bit hard to find when you enter Bic's 5th floor gaming section.
Pictures:

Someone bought two Wii Fit systems (these people were trying the PS3 WE 2008 demo)
Overall, it wasn't super hectic busy, but it was indeed an impressive show. The game will clearly be a huge hit in Japan.
(yes all of this was stolen) F U for screwing up the thread Montana
