"We are thrilled that active videogames are finally being recognised by the Government for contributing to a healthy, balanced lifestyle," ELSPA's Mike Rawlinson said. Rawlinson revealed that ELSPA has been working with the UK government since the first Change 4 Life ad to get some fairer recognition for games, and apparently the Change 4 Life folks finally

But what if it was sitting on the shelf???

@Pantsparty
I'm in agreement. I'm sick of it telling me I'm out of shape. I'll stick to sitting in my computer chair.

Healthy people? You hate healthy people?

wii fit is a lot of fun, especially with other peoples. but its definately a healthy oriented game, so yeah kinda messed up if you have a problem with that. your ass looks like 200 pounds of chewed bubble gum.

It's a good thing they did. Elsewise Change 4 Life might have been...left 4 dead.

Right now, I'm thinking of the 'Hell' guy from the Dante's Inferno marketing team marketing Wii Fit+:
"When making the next Wii Fit, we were thinking of something everyone could relate to, such as huge wrecking balls."
Darth Bradwart, Dark Lord of the Sith @ Oct 26th 2009 9:15PM
That sounds like a Michael Bay quote...

Michael Bay relates everything to huge balls of some kind or another.

Does anyone think this will backfire? Wii Fit doesn't really replace actual exercise and I've read once you get the thing, it's not like you're going to take 1-2 hours everyday to "remain fit". Just like my GT Xpress: $30 wasted for something I shouldn't have bought in the first place.

Wait, so how would this backfire?
People love Wii Fit (maybe not the most of the elitist gaming community), and find the activities quite fun.
It CAN replace actual exercise when one doesn't exercise at all, really.
And people do take 1-2 hours a day to remain fit (through Wii Fit), but just like exercising: You can easily get tired of doing it if you don't do it consistently.
People eventually DO stop playing it, like how these people stopped going to a gym at one point in their life, and they just see it "collect dust". But they will pick it up every once in a while when they want to play it with friends..... which is more than I could say about gym memberships.
...........so...... what backfires from this?

Huh. Well, I know I'll never buy it.

Because it needed to be done:

If I had Change 4 Life, I'd be down at the local video arcade like all the time instead of playing things like Wii Fat
HighFiveJesus @ Oct 26th 2009 11:12PM
playing wii fit every day still doesn't mean you get to eat whatever you want!
SoshiKitai @ Oct 27th 2009 2:24AM
OH HA HA HA, WII FAT, HOW FUNNY
...
... so are you saying Wii Fit makes you fatter? That's pretty impressive for a game to do that doesn't prepare food.

I love how it's got "4" instead of four, because that is so totally rad and up to date.
Goity @ Oct 27th 2009 4:38PM
Whoops! I meant "for"
...and didn't mean to submit this twice :S
