"...has anybody at Nintendo explicitly promised Wii Fit will bring about improved fitness or a lower BMI?"

Well, your Metareview screenshot (http://nintendo.joystiq.com/2008/05/21/metareview-wii-fit/) shows a graph that clearly does track BMI changes over time/use. I can't tell which exactly are the happy/sad faces on the Miis, but it does seem that there is a "good" and "bad" result promoted by the game.

IF YOU'VE BOUGHT THE GAME IN THE LAST MONTH:

Amazon's post-order price guarantee applies to you, too! If it SHIPPED in the last 30 days, email/call and they'll refund the difference to your CC. Wii Fanboy just saved me $10!!

They do not, however, go out of their way to promote this.

"...but the baby teeth, they do nothing!"

OMG.

I'd like to see a good guide to precisely what DLC gets unlocked by beating the game/how many times you must beat it, etc. If it's a "pay b/c you can't wait" proposition, that's different than "if you want it, you must buy it."

"For a 500 Wii Point game, you'd be insane not to give Defend Your Castle a download" ... except that I'll have to delete VC games just for FFCC. Would willingly get more of these games IF I had room. Broken record and all, but Nintendo, please, storage solution!

Blog staff: can you compile all these comments & mail to Nintendo? Hit them en masse?

I'm hoping WiiWare, with its massive space demands, will fill up lots more people's consoles, and so bring the problem to a head.

123 blocks = no. I'm already going to have to delete files (Sin & Punishment = 287 blocks!) to get Final Fantasy, so I'm SOL for anything else.

Alisha, this is just plain good journalism & interviewing. At least as good, and probably better, than what many of the "mainstream," big-budget gaming sites do. Well done.

Umm, Metroid Prime 1 & 2??

Having never played any Mario Kart games, I don't have a favorite track. But MK Wii would be the perfect time for me to start (hint, hint Wii Fanboy!)

If I couldn't just plop my cart into my NES and play it, I'd be excited...but there's no point in re-buying a game I have & can play any time.

How about Rock N' Roll Racing, Blizzard??

Great...if it's $10, that works out to at best $2 per minute. Better off calling 900 numbers at that rate! :P
