flameboy Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Maybe that's your problem, you consider this a "game". I'll think I'll get it, might be a more fun and convenient way (and cheaper compared to a gym) of getting exercise. Then again, there are better ways to get exercise. Still, like I said, it's more convenient.. You see I don't feel that way....I walk back and forth to work everyday which takes nearly an hour each way, I go out on my bike enough, so I don't need a convenient way to do more exercise..
Sméagol Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 You see I don't feel that way....I walk back and forth to work everyday which takes nearly an hour each way, I go out on my bike enough, so I don't need a convenient way to do more exercise.. That's my point.. This "game" (I'll just call it an.. application from now on) aims to get people to exercise. If you feel you don't need any more regular exercise (and it seems like you don't, you've incorperated it nicely into you're daily life), than this app just won't be necessary for you. Save your money and spend it on the real games like Zack & Wiki and No more Heroes etc. The only other reason you could have for getting it, is simply for your collection, hopefully the balance board will be used for plenty other games in the future. In the mean time, maybe you have a girlfriend / parent / sibling who can exercise.
flameboy Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 yeah my girlfriend could do with exercise lol!
Tellyn Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 yeah my girlfriend could do with exercise lol! Haha, I hope for your sake that she didn't watch you type that.
flameboy Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Haha, I hope for your sake that she didn't watch you type that. no lol and it was only in jest!
Sméagol Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 no lol and it was only in jest! Ha ha, well I said "who can exercise", not "who should exercise" .
dazzybee Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Mario Party DS is easily outselling this game in Japan, maybe Wii Fit isn't going to be as big a hit as everyone anticipates. I'm still looking forward to it!
RedShell Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Mario Party DS is easily outselling this game in Japan, maybe Wii Fit isn't going to be as big a hit as everyone anticipates. I'm still looking forward to it!It seems that Mario Party DS has only a slight lead, plus it had almost a month head start over Wii Fit and has the luxury of being on a platform with over 60 million sales. It's only a matter of time before Wii Fit passes it. I've been watching quite a few videos of this recently, really liking the look of it. Especially the hula hoop level, the music on that one is awesome and I love the way it changes every time a new hoop is added. Snowboarding is another one that looks fantastic. I'm still convinced that Wii Fit is going to be huge in the US and Europe, just really wish we knew when it was coming.
Tellyn Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 If they'd market-blitz'd this after Christmas (people are fat, kids have spare Christmas money) in Europe it would've sold past the million mark within a month.
Owen Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 If they'd market-blitz'd this after Christmas (people are fat, kids have spare Christmas money) in Europe it would've sold past the million mark within a month. My thoughts exactly! Like i said before, most peoples new years resolutions are to lose weight. NOE and NOA missed a trick there..... Nintendo really do have to start given us ideas on release dates now...i mean...the wii schedule from Nintendo is looking very sparse at the mo with only MK and Wii Fit slated for a vague 'spring' release.
blender Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 On argos "This revolutionary new product is launching Spring/Summer 2008 " http://email-argos.co.uk/public/wii_fit.jsp I win another!
Christel-NiSuTe Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I am really looking forward to this game ^.^
Maiky-NiSuTe Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 I know you are dear... uuuuhhh what the hell are you doing here <.< this is a bit shocking to me.. well uhm yes we are both looking out for this game.
Jamba Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Ahah! Welcome Christel! Don't forget that in Japan and everywhere else that this is going to be like Brain Training, a really slow burn game that never really goes away. MP DS will drop off quite quickly i'd think for family-ware.
Owen Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 It'll be nice if Europe got this first! I think it would do better here then America actually as we are 'diet' mad and constantly banging on about losing weight etc.in every mag and paper. Obviously won't happen, because we never get anything first.
Maiky-NiSuTe Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Wii fit US releasedate: Source Kotaku Wii Fit To Launch In US On May 19 According to the Wall Street Journal, of all places, Nintendo have gotten around to announcing a release date for money-printing balance (remember, balance, not fitness) training game Wii Fit. It'll be released in the US on May 19, so those looking for new ways to improve their sideways-leaning techniques or would like to bore houseguests to death with a new Wii Sports "replacement", you've only got a three month wait. How exciting!
Owen Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Europe are getting it before USA! YEAH! APRIL 25TH 2008 CONFIRMED!

nekunando Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Brilliant! Will get this preordered soon, probably.. I need this to kick start my weight loss! But PES.. Mario Kart and this all in the space of a month? I think I'm already getting lighter.. or my pocket is, at least..
david.dakota Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Nintendo seem hell bent on clogging up my Wii. Not content with not providing SD/HDD support, they're now eating into my 48 channels - with two game stats channels (MK and WiiFit) which could easily be incorporated into a single Stats Channel Lord Oh Mighty.
RedShell Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Awesome! I really was starting to think we wouldn't see this for quite a while. But yeah, very happy we'll be getting it in April. Plus, the sooner this is out, the sooner we should be seeing 1080° Wii! (I hope so anyway. :wink:)
Owen Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Still no idea's on a price I see. £59.99-£69.99 is my guess!
ShadowV7 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 This is out much sooner than I expected. I was thinking June sometime, but i'm happy with this. Can't help but feel getting this almost a month earlier and maybe Mario Kart earlier is somewhat of an apology for the Brawl fiasco. As for a price, shouldn't be to hard to judge, just get the US and Jap prices for an estimate.
