That is, if you can call it playing. You see, using your feet to play a plastic mock-up of a real instrument is just what you'd expect it to be: pointless and unnecessarily difficult. We wonder why someone would even go through the bother of filming themselves while they do this. On top of that, wouldn't the person want to get a little better at playing monkey-style before they uploaded their video onto the internet for the whole 10 people that read Wii Fanboy every day to see?

I don't know whether I should be happy or concerned that I'm part of the group mentioned there at the end.
On the video, so much for the Wii getting people off their butts. Somebody get this kid a copy of Wii Fit and get his feet doing something useful.

Troy... I don't know if you're just trolling or if you're actually trying to help out the Wii fans... but you've made your point already on other threads. Now please leave us be to read our outdated Wii news.

I guess I'm number 5? Although I don't quite understand why we're counting down instead of up.
Sure if you're going to play on Easy, you can do it with your feet, but you could also probably play it on Easy with just about any part of your body.

Psh, my friend Andy's been playing it with his feet since last spring, he can even play on Medium.
All it takes is some boredom, and great ideas like this just spring up.

10 people huh? Don't ya think that might be a tad bit generous? Just kidding.
Seriously though, sometimes when I load this site, I hear crickets. I mean, look at the other fanboy sites. 360fanboy is run really well, updates throughout the day (sometimes even enough to fill up the front page!), news articles that are actually current, and they even sometimes get an exclusive. I don't know where the staff of Wiifanboy is based out of, but they seem to really, really be out of touch with most of their updates.
Like, does there really need to be a Wii Warm-Up everyday? How about once a week with a question of substance.
Do they need to give us Dojo updates when they come? No. We're grown ups, we can find those on our own, considering we know when they come and where they are.
Do I really want to know what cool stuff Nintendo is giving away that I'll never get my hands on? Or games I'll, and most English readers, never even see on stores' shelves?
How about you give us more information about special sales on Wii games, or do some more reviewing, perhaps get some help that has completely different tastes in games than the current staff does, because a story about Sonic figurines does not appeal to anyone, really. I mean, I doubt one person buys those because you posted it and it caught their attention. I love, love, love you guys. I really do. I don't want to hear crickets anymore. Make this site awesome. You're close.

I don't think it was harsh. I think parts of what he said are dead on. I personally think seeing stuff about foreign market games and figurines and stuff is cool (it couldn't hurt to add) but I agree that maybe putting up news within 36 hours of it being on every other wii site would give you a tactical edge. There are sites run by enthusiasts who A) are actually enthusiastic about Wii and Nintendo and B) Update far more regularly and punctually than this site. Which is sad, because I can easily say there are many many professional sites that do an even better job. If 'Nintendo Fans' who hate Nintendo and want to reflect on how lame all the upcoming games are ever need to find out three day old news, this is the place they can come. Otherwise, more often than not reading the articles here is like getting slapped in the face.

All of these are horrible things.

I wouldn't describe playing Guitar Hero with your feet as a "great idea". Some people have just too much spare time - and too few ideas on how to use it. Please someone rescue this guy out of his boredom before he attempts to try "Through Fire and Flames" with another part of his body!
