Emasher Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 i know for sure i'm a hardcore gammer however i don't know if i'm buying wii fit, i'll only probably buy it if my mom wants it
conzer16 Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I voted unsure as I'm pretty sure I won't buy it but it will be in my house for sure but I'm unsure as to what Ill make of it...
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I'll be getting this. People doubted Brain Training and WiiSports, but they turned out a treat, and I'm thinking that this will turn out the same way. Nintendo know when they're onto a winner, and I think they're probably onto another one with this. There's also a lot more potential with the board, which we had a lot of with the Wiimote. So, it can only be a good thing. It may not aid your fitness as a gym might, but this will probably be just as fun, if not more so. It is also a lot more convenient. It's just not practical for some people to go to the gym everyday, but they can easily whip this out and get a workout for 10-15 mins a day. I just want to see what else Nintendo will do with this idea. The thinking clearly is that the Wii is a lot more than just the Wiimote.
Fanelia Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 i'm already as fit as i can get. i mean, that fucking thing really won't make jack shit of a difference. perhaps if i have been in a coma for ten years or something... it really doesn't look like a physical challenge. and that's all it should be if it aims at keeping people fit. leaning sideways, stretching your leg out, and what not. what's up whit that? so i'm quite the serieus sporting type. few hours of muay thai a day. it's challenging both mental and physical. but that wiifit thing requires less effort than walking at a slow pace. as for games it might be interesting though. snowboard sims and what not. but serieus exercise? i think not. and even it it were diehard bruce lee training schemes, what asshole would want to sport in front of a fucking television. the essence of sport is body and nature. go jogging in the woods, or swimming in a lake, or boxing, get some contact competition, change of scene. get some fresh air for fuck sake! this is really lame. it's a great idea for those who really can't leave their living room, but in a genuine sporting attitude this shit is a joke. so what people are they really aiming at?
Zell Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 The game isn't even out yet, and people are hating it *sigh* Who is this aimed at? Probably people who don't have the time and money to go to a gym.
Adrian DX Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 I'm getting WiiFit. I need to exercise and I'm too lazy to go to the gym =P But I'm hoping that it will be supported for some future games. Like Wario Ware, imagine what they could do with this thing in Wario Ware (^^,)
Maiky-NiSuTe Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 i don't like the sound of hardcore i like experienced more. but i know where you getting at and as you already can see many "hardcore" gamers will buy it.
Wesley Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 WiiFit is another one of those games that everyone talks about and will be hyped up; but when I get round to playing it I'll think it was one of the most boring games ever. Just like Wii Sport.
lilscooter11 Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 I might get it, not sure though yet. I liked the looks of the centre of mass exercises which I really could do with to progress with my TKD, but then again I'm already in top shape, so I'm unsure. The other thing that worries me is that I thought the Wiimote was the focus of the Wii. If they start bringing out more peripherals, then it's going to cost a bomb to buy games, I mean I still need to Wiimotes to play some games with my mates on stuff like Mario Party and maybe FF:CC in the future.
Strider Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 Well when i first saw it, i wasn't excited about it in the slightest... and im still not now. I voted "Unsure" as it doesn't appeal to me, but if they will make it to go with other games then yeh i might pick it up. I was thinking about that Wii drumming thing we saw at last E3 and thought the board could easily be used for the hi-hat and bass drum pedals.

Just like Wii Sport. And yet it's going to sell literally millions. Weird, huh?
peterl0 Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I think I am defnitely going to get it. The propect of a daily play might actually cause me to do some exercise.

Petey Piranah Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I already do sufficient exercise through other means so unlikely i'll be purchasing this, although I might get it for collecting purposes, especially if the Balance Board has uses for other games and cannot be purchased seperately...

The Board itself will be sold with the Wii Fit product initially and maybe later on will be sold alone. I think it's safe to say that other games will use it.
4q2 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I doubt I will buy it...I spend loads on lager and cannot develop the beer belly people my age usually have as it is. A fitness regime of any description is not on my list now or in the near future.
