Miyamoto Interviewed By TotiloI spent an hour yesterday hanging out with Nintendo’s star game maker Shigeru Miyamoto for an interview about “Wii Fit” we’ll be airing on MTV in the coming weeks (and that you’ll get to read about at MTVNews.com).

We talked a great deal about “Wii Fit,” and he gave me and the MTV News crew a fantastic demo of the game.

I had brushed up for the interview by reading everything from the NeoGAF forums to Miyamoto’s “Wii Fit” interviews with Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. Those Iwata chats are so good because, as Miyamoto told me, the two men have lunch three times a week — and Satoru Iwata remembers things.

I hope to have more to share from the interview early next week. For now, here’s a treat for anyone out there caught up with terms like “non-games.”

Me: Do you consider “Wii Fit” a video game?

Miyamoto: Well, yes, in my mind, I would say it is a video game.

I wasn’t going to argue with him…

(Look below for one more picture from the interview, also including Nintendo’s Bill Trinen translating on the mic)

n a media roundtable on Thursday, venerable game designer Shigeru Miyamoto said downloadable updates could be coming to Wii Fit.

According to Miyamoto, Nintendo might consider plans to update the Wii Fit channel with nutritional data by way of a download. The additional functionality, not launching with software on May 19, would then be used to further slim fatty gamers.

In terms of inspiration, Miyamoto said the game was inspired several years ago while looking at graphs of his weight. At one point, the designer even considered Wii Fit connectivity with the portable DS.

Additionally, Miyamoto said Wii Fit is unique in that the purchasing decision is made by parents about 90% of the time, as opposed to kids who usually pick the desired family games. Cited percentage presumably comes from Japanese sales, which have been raging since the game's release in the country last December.

The full interview, something GamePro editor Dave Rudden called an "enjoyable" experience, will be published on Friday.

What, was my post no longer news? I thought for sure that it would garner some comments...

How are people going to improve their fitness to any usefull degree with this thing ? I think alota unhealthy people are going to be deceived into thinking that this thing will actualy make them loose wait while having fun , IT'S NOT THAT EASY.

If you wanna loose wait , eat good , exercise frequently , there's no other way.

Apart from that it'll probably be alota fun , i'll give it a try.

Its Callories in, Callories out, and if Wii fit brings this to your attention every day, then it works. Imagine seeing the graph go up, and then it reminds you have have to continue to eat healthy every day. If it helps you burn an extra 100C a day, and you previously were not changing weight, then you will loose 1lb every month, which in the course of a year is well worth it for most americans. Wii Fit can help you get fit. It won't help you loose 5lb before a wedding (most women worry about this) but it will help you lose 10lb over the course of a year.

 Anyways, I blame Wii Fit for emptying my wallet

I'm a lazy turd so i'm hoping the Fit will keep me motivated to get some form of exercise. :D i can't wait.
