Oh great, so now the "phenomenal" sales of shallow casual shovelware Wii Fit are going to be directly compared to the supposedly disappointing ones of the incredible beautiful masterpiece Mario Galaxy. As if Nintendo needed anymore encouragement....

I guess you're right, but I just wish they'd stop going on about it constantly. I know that Nintendo is still about the hardcore gamer (TP, SMG, MP3, SSBB). But of late they're providing very little evidence in anything they say to suggest that.

I'm worried that soon they'll start thinking: why bother crafting deep, thrilling, enthralling, moving, beautiful games, when we can churn out this training crap in no time, with no effort and no imagination and the ignorant mainstream masses will swallow it up.

I am not comfortable with WiiFit. I think it's horrid.

I was disappointed, mainly because of WiiFit and the fact that Nintendo seemingly now only opens its mouth to bang on about how they're "expanding the audience" and "appealing to casual gamers" again and again and again. Please, for God's sake, change the record!! I don't know why they're so proud of it. Companies have been exploiting stupid and insecure people with this sort of training, self-help, lifestyle crap for years and years. It's nothing new. Nintendo is just the latest company to realise they can make an easy buck out of it (and I thought they were better than that).

You're all saying "but it'll sell loads". Well, is that all that matters to you? Are you fans or shareholders? I don't mind some of these casual games (I love Brain Age for example) but this is getting ridiculous. It's all very well Nintendo appealing to casuals and I'm happy that they're selling so well, but not if it's at the expense of their artistic integrity.

I have owned and adored every single Nintendo console, but as a gamer I'm starting to look at my Wii with contempt. I was all for the Wii when it was first announced, but if by "revolution" they meant WiiFit then I feel betrayed. I want to play games, not exercise!!

I (foolishly) expected Nintendo to use this E3 to reassure me, but instead they did the exact opposite. I want to be told that I'm a "SUPER GAMER" not that I'm "overweight".

How about a 'Coping With Depression' trainer for all the Nintendo fans sick of this lazy, casual, training, non-game, lifestyle crap that they're currently obsessed with?

I'm still hoping this is just a nightmare.

And these casual gamer videos just make me want to cry now.

I think Nintendo have made a huge mistake by making WiiFit the focus and climax of their show. None of the people whom this "game" is targeted at are watching e3, they don't even know what it is.

All Nintendo has done is angered the vast majority of gamers by giving us the one thing we prayed they wouldn't; yet another casual, lame, crappy, minigame-fest.

This e3 was the perfect opportunity to prove the Wii naysayers wrong, to show people that they do still care about games and gamers, that their new-found success isn't at the expense of their artistic integrity and that they haven't sold out and are now purely interested in how many casual idiots they can get to buy this stuff.

But now all people are leaving with is the thought of WiiFit. Great.....

This is indeed a sad day for gaming. Why Nintendo? Whyyyyyy?!!! You're the greatest games company in the world. This is just cheap, casual, gimmicky, mainstream, lowest common denominator, lifestyle rubbish.

I bought a games console, not a frigging exercise machine!!

Deeply depressing.

I prayed that they wouldn't end with some casual garbage for morons. But they did.

So Miyamoto says he's "more excited about this game than any other"? Again, deeply depressing.

Miyamoto says he's "more excited about this game than any other"

A deeply depressing indication of Nintendo's current direction.

Well, as a gamer the very thought of 'Wii Health' makes me shudder, so I guess I'll go with Wii Music then!!
