I don't mind that being downvoted, even though it was purely a joke and I have no opinion of Wii Fit... but I could've sworn I did *not* have the first comment earlier.

What is this, some kind of dubious award?

Sad thing is that WiiFit may have been a neat idea to talk about before it came out, but now that its out - there really isn't too much to say about it. Not like we would all talk about our yoga scores or something. Conversation wise - this games not doing it.

But... but... the peripheral! It's almost as promising as an e-reader and a Virtual boy combined.

Leave the Virtual Boy alone. Red Alarm fucking rocked.

Watching people hula hoop is hilarious after a long day of grilling and swilling.

we bough this on day 1 of the launch. 1 complaint against this is that we have a TV room which is carpeted. So when you try to weigh yourself the 1st time it shows wrong weight. Next day it shows another weight. Hope nintendo fixes this ASAP or its going to piss a lot of people who have carpeted floors in your TV room
