IGN AU: Wii Fit Review

Wii Fit is a curious but logical step forward for mainstream-savvy Nintendo. This is a company that is using the medium it helped pioneer to enrich lives and improve the quality of life of its users. It's a commendable move – taking a responsible stance towards a mostly sedentary hobby. Parents will love it; it gets their kids off their butts and into sports – even if it's still in front of the tube.

Kids will go for the micro-games and competitive elements. Stay-at-home mums can work out pent-up anger and health-nuts might use this as the excuse they need to buy a Wii. Old people will still scratch their heads, though. And gamers? Well… at least they can't say nobody ever tried to do the right thing by them.

Yeah as a gamer that list sucks. Wouldn't be to prod of that.

Paytaa2011d ago

Oh you're one of those real gamers

Literal_Cringe2011d ago

You're not much of a gamer then.

lxeasy2011d ago

Damn Nintendo Domination!

King_Noctis2011d ago

Kindda surprising actually. All games are from Nintendo.

And the #1 game on this list is also the #1 game (and accessory) to be found at the local goodwill.

Nintendo has always had the most mass appeal, my Mother would play Mario.

There's landslides and then there's this. Wouldn't be surprised if the top 50 was mostly Nintendo games.

Paytaa2011d ago

The only other game's that cracked the Top 15 aside from Nintendo were Halo 3, Halo Reach, and Halo 4.

EddieNX 2011d ago (Edited 2011d ago )

Good. I adore Halo!! It's the only online shooting game for me.

The Wii was a beast! The entire top 10 selling more than 10 million units each!

FallenAngel19843134d ago

Just like the DS list, every game on the Wii's list has sold over 10 million. Not even PS1 and PS2 did that. That's very incredible
