Nintendo Wii Fit

The Nintendo Wii is many things—a motion-sensing video-game console, a retail success story, possibly even a cultural touchstone. What it isn’t, despite its players’ controller-waving antics and media hype about gamers finally getting off the couch, is an exercise machine. Until now. The Wii Fit, a soon-to-be-released suite of games that uses a $70 weight- and balance-sensing Balance Board, does everything from analyzing posture to revealing how bad you actually are at yoga. It turns fitness into a game, instead of a chore. 

But the gaming media hates it. And those guys obviously have their fingers on the public's pulse.

 Nintendo could do something colossally stupid like remove backward compatibility. 

 

this is exactly the kind of thing that will make wii fit successful. Great word of mouth and free advertising will make this a hit.

Wii fit + Oprah = game over

I wonder if WiiFit will be as successful as some people are hoping... I worry that some people are getting their hopes too high.

Yeah, this would really hurt all the people who care about it, both of them.

 Me and Onna? But seriously, if they removed BC, would they have to remove both GameCubes?

I don't see why the general gaming public would ever want this, where's the proof that this game would sell?

 I'm not worried about how successful it will be. I expect there to be one for me to buy. OTOH, I would be dissapointed if it's not in the least bit FUN. I really want to try out the skiing games.
