    Some people threw the Wii remotes through the TVs, but they had the "Slippery remote" to blame for that. What are they going to blame this on?

      "Look, Nintendo, large vases filled with colorful flowers are surprisingly difficult to see when playing this game."

    Nintendo should set an IQ minimum for their Wii games in the future.

      That seems a tad harsh, but they aren't too smart for all this. Wouldn't common sense tell you to be careful when you're balancing on one foot on the balance board?

    This is hilarious, they need to realise the Wii Fit isn't going to work the wonders which they thought it really was going to. Seriously go exercise, nuff said.

    Now that's terrible, yet slightly funny because I can just imagine seeing it happen! Lol, my 8-year old neice especially!! She's VERY clumsy and does get excited easily when playing games! Another reason Wii Fit will not be in my house LOL
