Rock on.
For a moment, with that ad of the girl in her underwear walking onscreen, I thought Nintendo were trying a new advertising approach. -

Registered 16 years agoJust before the actual game clip kicks in - it's for Nicotine stuff or something.
The game might be good but the person demonstrating doesn't seem to be putting much into it - I think I would get bored quickly if that's all the effort required to play it well. -

Wii Fit is going to be MASSIVELY popular and that video shows that it opens a whole range of other applications as well. -

True, but the same can be said of Wii Sports - you could just sit on your arse and play it, but that is missing the point. I played baseball the other night and I was swinging so fiercly that I almost dislocated my shoulder.
I assume the same will aplly to Wii Fit. You could stand on the board and barely move like a miserable fucker, but I imagine most people will get into it and move around like a loon. -

Registered 15 years agoI was being sarcastic about the X-TREME-ness, by the way. It needs to rock, more.
EA Sports Big, get on it. -

But that would make all games currently available boring. Or are you talking from a fitness point of view? -

A bit of both - with a traditional controller I can at least convince myself that pressing a button harder has more effect but if such mild movements are enough to play the game well then using the board would be a bit pointless to me. It might as well just use a normal controller if it doesn't give some sort of reward for extra effort.
I guess it depends on how stable and responsive the board is. Fitness is a slight factor too. -

Registered 18 years agoI though you made some elaborate "All joggers a cockwaving pervs" joke. That jogging sim looks surreal. Can't wait to try it out.
(Bet the downstairs neighbours can however) -

He wasn't jogging on it (my initial thought was that I would snap it), he had a wiimote stuffed in his pocket. So no naked jogging. -

The weight limit is 300lbs (136 kg) in japan. They might be increasing it for america though. I think thats around 21.5 stone. -

I don't think it was ever given a release date. Q1 2008 is what it looks like atm. -
It was only ever Japan that was slated for this year.
