Wii Fit.

Mario Kart is awesome but i'm sure you have played previous ones.

Wii Fit is potentially the most important game of this generation.

Whoa.. full stop here. Wii Fit, is at best, a sorry excuse for lazy people to not go out, buy a pair of good jogging shoes, and actually _start to do_ something for their health. As a gameing tool, it is (presently) a worthless piece of crap. As a fitness tool.. no sorry, same answer. Go and talk to people that _actually are professionals in that sector_ (as I have done). As for Americans, the only things I see are lawsuits coming (looking at some of the more advanced "training routines").

Once again, if you are thinking of improving your health and look for the cheap way-out, go buy that piece of plastic. If you are serious, do something serious. As for games, the board may one day become a tool for novel game control (reminds me somewhat of the Amiga Guru Meditation board - or whatever its name was then). As for now, not worth buying.

That is just so wrong.

I used to have a gym membership - its now gone due to money & time constraints.

I also walk a solid 5-6km per day (weekdays), for most days.

All that is not enough to keep me "fit".

For me, its just as much about motivation as it is anything else. Time as well. Sometimes the weather is crap (quite often, esp. winter) and its just too hard to get out.

The other thing about WiiFit, is it does something nothing has ever done before. It gives you real, quality feedback on things like push-ups, yoga poses, Center of Mass calculations, and more.

This is something no person could ever do for you. I think WiiFit is just as useful for professionals, as it is for people just trying to get fitter. 

...

I expect there will be a lot of posts like this about WiiFit - and I think most of them will come from people who do NOT own the game, and have not used it extensively.

Its a truly amazing piece of software (and hardware) - it really is like the impact of the Wiimote all over again, but this time with a non-gaming crowd.

Just wait till the next batch of games come out that use the balance board - one of the BIG differences between this and the Wiimote, is that its DEAD EASY to code for - the input code is really trivial.

Mario Kart first beacuse you can play it for several hours in a single day... try that with Wii fit then you are one healty guy

 

I own both but no matter how much I like Wii fit I cant play it more then 1 hour a day. well it used to be just 45 mins 

 

And you who say that Wii fit is crap and cant help you get fit are just a bunch of liars, I have had it for 3 weeks and have already notice results.( yes I might have gotten better results in a real gym but I dont have the time, it's just that simple)

 

but then again most of you are PS360 fanboys and you still deny that games can be played with more then just your fingers.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

Do you need to get in shape starcraft? ;-p I'd personally say get Mario Kart. It's a really fun game though I haven't had much time to play it lately.

Wii fit also seems to be pretty good though I haven't tried it out. I'm planning on picking it up sometime...(though I'd like to get a DS lite before that :) )

actually I'm having second thoughts on what I recommended,
Maybe get wii fit first, It could take some time to actually finding a wii fit if its sold out in some places. MKwii will probably always be in stock,

I also recommend Mario Kart first you can get some fat eating and playing MK because its so addicting. Then turn that fat into muscle later playing wiifit :)

Well.. you should get Mario Kart first until you get the money to buy Wii Fit

Well, being that one is a game, and the other is a piece of fitness equipment, I guess it just matters what's more important to you.

I have WiiFit pre-ordered. I never plan on playing MK (and I have never played any MK). Just not my kind of game.

I would say MK Wii first.

You don't want to be buying a balance board if theres
a) Only one game for it
b) Nothing buy shovelware for it
