I see you're on-line starcraft. No doubt to post that "Why you should want a PS3" thread you said you would get to this weekend :)

You will love Mario Kart Wii. I have been playing it non stop and neglecting my exams I should be studying for.

Your recommending that he spend 150 dollars on "potential"? Why not just rent it, or better yet, wait until something worthwhile comes along that uses the Board?

I have WiiFit. It's not very fun at all. At best it's just a cute little distraction for a girlfriend or elderly family member for about 15 minutes.

I cannot recommend it over a game that is a million times better at half the price.

Thanks for noticing Montana.  I do my best to cyber-impress.

Actually, that picture was taken a few years ago, and I've since started pumping iron CONSTANTLY and I'm way more ripped and buff than ever before.

But to drkohler (and the OP) I'm actually buying Wii Fit for 6 reasons:

1) fun games with a new control scheme.

2) an excuse to do some yoga.

3) a compliment to my workout routine.

4) a scale.  Seriously.  I don't have one.

5) a way to efficiently count reps and monitor improvement without using a PEN (caveman technology).

6) to watch my wife do the hula hoop game.

I got wii fit at launch and am getting mario kart seccond in a few months, I dont want to clog up my playing time, I like to focus on one game at a time. But any way I got wii fit first because of its new way of playing games and I was fully excited, almost like when the wii came out for the first time!!!

now that I have it though the wife likes it more then me and even though I really like the game its the one game I have to force myself to play because it means I have to stand up :'( I was disapointed in the way it measured your wii fit age, I was hoping that it would rank you based on your ability to perform the muscle work outs ect but it doesnt so the whole, "lets get strong like vegeta and see my power level increase beyond goku" idea has gone down the drain and kind of spoilt the game for me.

It seems to be all about loosing weight and seeing as though every one thats played it with me is either really under weight and there for excising on wii fit is pointless for them (EAT MORE!!!) or they are perfect and dont need to loose or gain anything. Im 7kg over my ideal BMI but I dont want to be 75kg I want to be at least 80 with muscle. 75 is way skinny!

Any way the point of my disapointment with the game is theres nothing really there for men who want to work out and show off :( however I love beating every ones top scores lol and racing the work out chick in pushups is good!

So star craft if you want a game that youll have to force yourself to play for only a few minutes to an hour or so a day then get wii fit, it does work you out but not in a way that a man would prolly like to work out. If you want a game that you can play all day and all night and still be hooked the next morning then get mario kart 

 That's funny. You didn't know WiiFit was going to make you standup? WiiFit is not a game, it's a piece of equipment designed to help you lose weight. They try and make losing weight fun, but that's about it.

Oh, and not all men are built the same. My body type is I have a lot of muscle, but I also have a lot of fat. I would look very good if I never gained another ounce of muscle, but lost all my fat. For people like me, WiiFit might be the answer. I will let you know in a few months (I have to wait another week just to get it). 

Oh, obviously Mario Kart. LOL... Wii Fit... Well, it could be good, but personally, I'd rather run.

MARIO KART
**out**

No brainer for me. MK keeps u stuck to it. I got it bout 2 weeks ago and I have played every day since then. wiifit is a short term game.

@ TheRealMafoo:

I'm not a tool I knew the game would make me stand up, you must have miss read me, I forgive you

A have another hate about the game that I thought I would mention as well. On the first day me and the wife did 30 mins of excercise each but acording to the wii log we spent just over 2 hours of game time, meaning that the amount of time we actually spent working out was equal to the time we spent having to navigate through menues and waiting for the games to finaly start.

I do love the game as a whole but it really lacks in the "hard core" area that I thought it might have at least had a little appeal in.
