Because it has game elements in it and because the board is going to be used in future games, some already announced (1 ski and 1 skateboard). This makes it a game accessory and also review material.


 Well, then review the board. Nintendo didn't make WiiFit to be a game, so why compare it to one? Just seems like a stupid thing to do.

For the same reason VGC tracks the sales of a Bluray player.

And DVD players, Media Servers, a Music player, a weather station (Wii), and News Feed appliance (Wii).

Please go away.

Probably because it is a game.  They are running a video ad that has two girls from the US national soccer team competing with wii fit, and showing them each do the same games...  The wiiner will win a wii.  Not sure how long they are going to drag it out, as they didn't finish in the first week (7 minute video).  If you can have a competition like that, then it's good enough for me to be considered a game.

 



Although I have no interest in purchasing this title, at least it isn't as bad as most jRPGs get from reviewers. No multi-player, no online, no bald space marines, etc. (that doesn't have Final and Fantasy in the title)



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials 

 

Conservatives:  Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.

 

What makes a game good?

that it fits it's audiance needs and wants.

Wii Fit is a 10/10 game for me because my girlfriend has not missed a day of it in 2 weeks (over 14 days) and put about 10 hours into it already.
I personally don't recall playing the same game every day for 2 weeks since the NES days (well counter strike and wow put asside).

I can not believe people are actually going to sit here and tell me that this is a fun (enjoyable or amusing ) game. Or that this board is a innovation in video games. The success of this game and games like Wii sports shows a serious problem with humanity. These are real life activities that you can actually go out and do. It is not that expensive to go by a bat and ball, people will give away a tennis raket if you are interested in tennis. Why are people paying money to do this virtualy when you can do it for real.

Wii Fit is even more rediculous than Wii Sports. What are people doing payimng 350 dollars for a workout system that does absolutly nothing. Wii Fit is not a game, the board is not a game. When you play this game you are working out. No one needs a devices to tell them, how to balance, do sit ups, longes, dips, and so on.

People that are celebtaring this, have a good time. Just know this is not a win in gaming for Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, EA, or the gamer, but it is a lose for humanity.

P.S. Please note I have NO problem withg the Wii. I think Nintendo has some great GAMES and I think thazt the system was well worth it for the oppertunity to experiance them. I do have a problem with a company that takes advantage of incompatent people. Here is a good list of things for Nintendos your a retard but Wii can help products:

1. Wii Cook
2. Wii Clean
3. Wii Chat
4. Wii Read
5. Wii Educate



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Wow are you for real??

 

First blue part :Not everyone have the F-ing time to do things like this beacuse they dont have 3 hours a day of free time, I sure as hell don't.

Second blue part: uh?? yes that's exactly what many people need.

 

So it's something wrong with humanity if they want to play games with just more then with your fingers and while doing it get some free exercise???

 



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

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

I think it's a good score i was expecting a "D" or something like that

Oh boy, where to begin. First, you can argue all you want that YOU might not find these games enjoyable, but (fortunately) your opinion is not everyone's opinion. It's actually in the minority.

Second, the board is a top of the line scale that accurately detects weight shifts. If you can't see how that can be used to improve gameplay in certain genres, then you're blinded by your hate for these games. Since this isn't innovative, please show me what other company has developed a pressure sensitive balance board for gaming.

Third, the "you can do it in real life" argument is so old and flawed it's barely worth countering. But I will anyways. Time, money and convenience all play a part in why people prefer video games over the real thing. Let's say you want to play tennis. In real life you'd have to get a tennis racket, find other people to play, go to the court, come home when you're finished, then probably take a shower from sweating all day. This is also dependant on what time of day it is, how much time you have, if there are any tennis courts around, if you know people who play tennis, your level of talent, and so on and so on. Or you could turn on the Wii, play a few rounds, then turn it off.

And why is this only a problem with the Wii games all of a sudden? Traditional controls are even more pointless than the Wiimote. Why are you hitting A when you could be out playing REAL baseball?!? Using your logic, every game ever made that simulates a real world activity shouldn't have been made. No sports games, no music games, no exercise games, no racing games, etc.

Wii Fit is even more rediculous than Wii Sports. What are people doing payimng 350 dollars for a workout system that does absolutly nothing. Wii Fit is not a game, the board is not a game. When you play this game you are working out. No one needs a devices to tell them, how to balance, do sit ups, longes, dips, and so on.

Is it a game or is it not a game? First you say it's not, then you immediately follow that up with "when you play this game." Disregarding your slip up, there are many reports of Wii Fit's benefits, especially when complimenting a traditional exercise routine. People have lost weight, it helps them stay in shape, it gets them active. Most importantly, it's fun. That's the number one cause of people not following exercise regimens. They get bored and quit.

Also, having an outside source explain to you the proper way to do something is very important in exercise. Having an audio and visual aid helps you correct your mistakes while you're doing it. Not everyone knows the proper pace to move at or the proper way to do something.

Also also, it's rIdiculous. I'm so sick of seeing that damn e in there.

People that are celebtaring this, have a good time. Just know this is not a win in gaming for Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, EA, or the gamer, but it is a lose for humanity.

From this point on it's just elitist dribble poo, so this is where my argument end.

Hey DRAMA QUEEN, lighten up. GTA IV is NOT a religious experience. Wii Fit will NOT be the downfall of civilization. They're video games for cripes sake. Video games are recreational, they're fun. Big Deal. And you don't have a right to play GAME GESTAPO and tell people what they should do or enjoy. If you think only a retard would play Wii Fit, then you sure as hell don't want to know what I think people are that think murder, mayhem and drunk driving make a fun video game. But I recognize that not everyone thinks like I do and they have a right to think differently. When I need a 20 year old nit wit like you to tell me how to live my life, I'll call on you. Otherwise you play what you like and I'll play what I like. You are entitled to say you do or don't like a game and why but only an immature jerk calls people retards becasue they enjoy something else.
