To me, the fat ass Americans are much more pleasing to the eyes than the anorexic ones.

Do you think anyones going to lose weight with this shit.

I am curious to see how this thing sells in the US....

Maybe they should make a XXL version for the states

Dude, people thought you could lose weight with WiiBoxing.

"No, no, you're losing weight because your heart rate increases and you get winded." That's cardio, you fucking moron. But Cardio itself in short spurts is ineffective. It's maintaining the cardio (40-50 minute WiiBoxing match without a single break...) that reaps the benefits.

FidliousWrong said it best. most of us Americans have such a warped view of what "exercising". after playing my Wii for the first time when i can home form college, my mom went out and bought a Wii for the house so they could "use it to exercise". now i dont want to mock them cause i love them but i played college football and know a thing or two about working out. just getting winded does not cut it lol. you need to be winded for at least 20 minutes straight to gain anything and even then you should aim for an hour in the least.

i seriously wonder what the weight limit is on this thing because i can see people trying to sue Nintendo or something cause the board cant support them.

I completely agree. It looks like it could easily break. Wonder what the maximum weight its been tested to is. If it's for people under 12 stone it's losing a large amount of its market.

WiiWare is more what I'm interested in at the minute until I have proof otherwise that WiiWare will be good and not end up wasting money on two 1/2 Wii Balance Boards.

Oh god, enjoy you flaming....

And I've never seen such randomly improper use of capital letters.

My deepest apologies, I had no idea writing a quick comment had to be grammatically correct. I'll keep that in mind.

Saddest part: You think the grammar is the biggest issue with your post...

Should I really do this? Well, just call me Johnny Storm because it's flame on time...

"where are you from?

ive never seen someone so Jealous of the States."

Jealous of what. Hey look everybody. We actually have a Nintendo of America doing it's fucking job. *golf clap*

"unless you live in japan. the Euro or the states; you dont matter."

One South African here will end you... Ludwig Defense Force Assemble!

"Just curious as to where all that hate is steaming from."

Steaming from? Emotions don't "steam." Trust me, I've been trying forever to buy some Vick's Malice Rub.

"i guess you need to buy this to get any use out of your wii."

March 9th is rapidly coming... and when it does, fights will break out in the streets...

Besides, aren't we past the whole "_____ has no games" phase? It's bullshit, and you know it.

"and they say sony makes useless products."

EyeToy: Kinetic...

Exercise program of 16 weeks... okay.... 16 weeks then this $50 software becomes invalid. Doesn't scale to performance... just 16 weeks...

Hey it's very nice that you want to stick up for the wii and all. I have a wii too; that's why i have earned my right to (flame) it.

My comment was for the dude that first posted about americans being to fat to use this. i was asking why all the hate, but seeing how joystiq always screws up the posts. my reply turned into its own comment.

I have nothing against any of the big three. in my opinion we all need to let BS go. enjoy your games on your console of choice. I just feel nintendo tries every gimmick in the book to appeal to the masses. the board is a good idea but too gimmicky. much like the wii steering wheel.

Johnny there was no need to flame on.

Naxe,

Every country hates America.

happy? I meant fucking help. How the hell did that happen?

I'd say you're used to DBZ level dialogue and it creeped into your post.. but then that would be dickish of me and then I'd have to backtrack or point at a convenient shiny object thrown in a random direction by my person....

But is all seriousness, look into local gyms. I'm paying $5 a month for mine and work out three times a week at about an hour and a half. You'll get much better results than WiiFit by Nintendo's own admission.

As I also said in original post, I realize that I need to do other things besides Wii-fit. But it wouldn't hurt to try it.

Gotta keep working out if you want your power level to even register on a scanner.

WiiFit is a basic balance and weight tracking software. Its not your total workout. It replaces your scale and excel spreadsheet, and also comes with some proof of concept mini games (like downhill ski-ing).

I for one will be picking it up because I've become increasingly conscious of my tightening pants, and its time to trim up.

I think it has a weight limit of 300 lbs, just like your bathroom scale. If you've got KIDS who weigh 300 pounds, its time to get their stomach stapled.

get their stomachs stapled or tell them to put down the damn fork.

and your 300lbs makes sense, i actually thought of bathroom scales right after i posted that.

I've been reading the internet too much. I read "I think it has a weight limit of 300 lbs, just like your mom" before I had to reread it again to see what it actually said.

Here are some alternaties for the whole PS3... http://igrillwithgeorge.com/new.html

@fernando Rocker

Such a cute little troll you are bashing the PS3 and Sony at every turn. Thw Wii fit is a glorified scale and balance board. And the 360 would be better served as a grill you know the way it always overheats and all. The wii on the other hand probably wouldn't have enough under the hood to use a blender. You would need to wave your hands around in a belnder like motion. But then again thats a better form of control and interaction rather than just pressing a button to do the action.

Be a fan of games and not consoles Trollnando....

FYI I own all 3 consoles....

Wake me up when Nintendo releases Mario kart or Smash Brothers Brawl because other than first party games or Capcom releases the rest are a craptastic pile of waste.

Dude, John. Chill. Fernando's reply is trollish, but its a perfect counter-response to cold school's trollish comment, so all is fine.

There's already a skiing game out in Japan that uses the Balance Board.

I've never heard Nintendo say this will help you lose weight. It helps with balance, as well as keeping track of your weight over a period of time. That's like saying your bathroom scale helps you lose weight. It's not a solution to weight loss, it's a supplement. I really don't get why that is so hard to get through people's heads.

Square Enix has noted that they might have some interest in developing something for this.

Also, I'd buy it because it can help with some stretching and whatnot. I'm not going to get an uber-buff build from it, but it's better than sitting on my arse all day.

"Wii Fit is more nintendo non game garbage for soccer moms"

You mean that demographic that Microsoft and Sony wanted to break into but never could because it gaming was perceived as a boy's club? The demographic that Nintendo has won over giving them record profits? How dare they release a game for those people!

I don't understand why people without a Wii are so bitter towards it. You still get your crappy Turok games, quit fucking whining.

Don't sweat it they get wiifit and we get all the AAA third party titles...

Not "all"
