The Wii Fat beckons

July 17, 2007 in News comments 17

I was all for the Wii Fit till i saw this video, it kind of really put things into perspective. Showing you the finer points of the Wii Fit, this video is bound to get you thinking on buying one the next time you step into a gamestore.

No, seriously, my alternate headline for this was the slightly more immature '...More like Wii Sh*t', but I withheld. The guys at SarcasticGamer didn't hold back much, though.

Their parody of Nintendo's video announcement for their new Wii Fit software and Wii Balance Board at the 2007 E3 Media & Business Summit seems like it echoes many feelings and issues others in the gaming community had.

    You know they are 100% correct about the idea of "Wii Fit". I especially loved the "don't spend $3 for a hoop... spend $300 for a Nintendo Wii instead" lol

      ditto that. STEP UP ON THE WHITE THING is funny as fat.
      DDR would be Stutter on the plastic thing.
      and Beatmania is crash fingers over buttons and wipe a dish occasionally
      and the whole Wii thing would be waggle your wrist.

    Great commentary. "Games like 'step up on the white thing'" and "Don't spend $3 on a hoop, but spend $300 on the Wii Fit for the comfort of your home.". Well, I just said what you two just said.

    Haha. Who said the Wii Fit would be $300 Unless that includes the actual Wii console, then I'd understand.

      The video said "why not pick up a Wii for $300?"

    ROFL @ "Why spend 3$ on a hoola-hoop, when you can spend 300$ on Wii so you wont feel plastic". Yeah im willing to pay 100 times the price just so i wont feel annoying plastic.
    But the WiiFit seems like an interesting idea for house-holes.

    Honestly, how can people not say that the Wii is not a gimmick after seeing this. EVERYTHING about the stupid thing rings gimmick from the system

    "The makers of Wii Sports give you a little white thing you stand on"

    "Explore exciting new exercises like leaning side to side"

    "And don't miss, Sticking out your leg"


    I'd quote the whole damn dialog, this is just to funny....
