  Lol, what makes this whole thing hilarious to me is that the WiiFit isn't really utilizing any new concepts in gaming. Nintendo has releases similar gimmicks in the past and while they obviously didn't have such advanced technology, the concept was ultimately the same and none of them ever caught on. WiiFit will probably end up the same way, especially because it costs more than a gym membership and doesn't even get the job done quite as well. Even with that aside and looking at the concept alone, it's hard to believe people are going to want to play their games standing up all the time.

    I don't have much else to add to this. I don't hate Nintendo, but as a true long time gamer, I hate to see such gimmicks get so much attention and praise from the masses. It, in my opinion, waters down the gaming itself and puts aside all that is attractive about real gaming. Yes, I said real gaming. I had a Powerpad when I was a kid, and it was fun, but it got old quick. This whole Wii[Fit] thing is just another fad for the masses to go pick up because its something simple and new. I guess I did have much else to add.

  Well the Wii in general has revolutionized gaming forever and WiiFit is just adding on to that idea. Nothing has ever been done like this ever before and WiiFit just shows how much they're capable of.

    Well actually, it has. There's a difference in the overall technology but this concept is nothing new.

      It's the same sort of stuff that Nintendo have been making since the NES days.
      They've always been trying to create "revolutionary" peripherals, but they usually end up collecting dust in the back of gamer's closets a few weeks later.
      
      In the end, we just want to play good games. Not have gaming "revolutionized" by weird peripherals that have nothing to do with actual gaming. (Excersising is not a game - It's excersise!).

  The Wii Fit is quite hard for a newbie to it. Especially the bit where you have to hold still with your weight in one part for 3 secs. 'specially if you have been running about all day.
  
  Wii Fit seems popular on GG. They should make a catagroy on it if so many people are making comments and articles on this.

    You actually play it? You'll lose more weight and gain more muscle by taking P.E.

    I can do that without spending over $100 on the Wii Fit and Balance Board.

        You're damn right it's a waste of money but people get caught up in the "OH WOW ITS CHEAP" idea and they try to justify their purchase by the one game they find interesting and then never end up playing it.
        
        As much as Nintendo tries to make it look like they have the cheapest console, they're the ones ripping people off the most. Sure, the console is $250, but think about all the peripherals you need! Sure you can "get by" with just the Wiimote, but you will need to get 4 of them and the nunchuck accessories. Add in the fact that the Wiimote sucks for a lot of third party games and you'll probably want to get some classic or gamecube controllers.
        
        I just bought my own Wii (well, my sister wanted one for graduation) and it cost me $500. I had to get the Wii, WiiPlay (for the second controller), a second nunchuck, SSB:B (just so I had a real game to play), two gamecube controllers, and a SD card so I could save shit. As much as the Wii claims to be cheap, it only cost me $100 less than my PS3 and that came with Component cables, two controllers, Motorstorm, and a 3 year extended warranty.
