Posted December 2, 2007 I want to see the sales of this. Sucks if it sells more than Galaxy, which I can see happening... But that's a load of people queueing up for it. Damn your lucky dazzybee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2007 If it sells more? Hell it's probably going to demolish Galaxy's sales, not only at launch but more importantly in the long run. Casual games have been the only games with "legs" on Nintendo consoles since....well, as long as I can remember. I don't think any hardcore games in the Gamecube days ever hung around the top 1- charts for more than a couple of weeks either, where as Wii sports and play stuck in the top 10 for a damn good while. Wii fit will very likely keep up the same trend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2007 Wii Fit will sell insane amounts of copies, but thats a great thing. If half of the people who buy Wii fit decide to take a punt on Galaxy (I'm not incuding typical gamers) then that's great!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2007 Wii sales went back to number one last week, but I hope this sees them sky rocket to new highs and totally destroy the opposition over christmas. I think this is one of the reasons Brawl was delayed, two such big titles would only hurt each others sales. On the Gameplay front, I think the skiing looks sweet.

Posted December 2, 2007 It's almost impossible for us Westerners to predict the day-to-day tastes of the Japanese, but I agree with everyone who says that Wii Fit will sell insane amounts of copies, at least globally speaking. I'm going to go on a limb here and bet that it will be Wii's second best-selling game. I'm also betting it will be Wii's greatest source of media-frenzy when it comes to Wii-Fit-related injuries and mishaps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2007 Patchy, nice point there. The broken ankle claims will be rife! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2007 Broken ankles, muscle-pulling, mild strokes even! I also expect to see a picture of a balance board firmly embedded in someone's TV by the end of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 3, 2007 Not sure? I would love to do that though! Make getting Wii Fit your new year's resolution! I reckon it'd make a great ad, I can't believe how many Wii ads are on TV at the mo, saw the RE:UC one last night, it's very good. Even got my bird interested.

Posted December 4, 2007 Indeed, a "kind of" review is up here: http://spong.com/detail/editorial.jsp?eid=10109712&cid=&tid=&pid=&plid=&page=1 Most interesting part is that JOGGING is just putting the wii mote in your pocket. NOT using the board! OOOOOooooo. Controversial! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 5, 2007 Most interesting part is that JOGGING is just putting the wii mote in your pocket. NOT using the board! OOOOOooooo. Controversial! Hmmm, that's going to be a serious problem for those who like jogging in the nude. Er, not that I do that or anything . . . yeah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 5, 2007 This is looking like a certain purchase for me. I could certainly do with doing some daily exercise and perhaps this would help! And anyway, I'll need the Balance Board for 1080 in the future.. won't I, Nintendo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 5, 2007 In a similar vein to Brain Training, it looks like this is a title in which you may or may not return to day after day to see what your BMI is. But I have to ask, does anyone else return to the brain training "days"? So that you get the stamps, keep on trecking etc... It seems that missing out on features because you haven't returned day after day or you return a month later is something nintendo took from Animal Crossing and applied to all of their "training" games. A good thing and a bad thing me thinks. I like consistency. And I'm lazy. Maybe this isn't the title for me. No doubt I will push my parents to buy it anyway.
