Reports have already surfaced about Wii Fit calling a young girl fat and the National Obesity Forum calling for children to stay away from Nintendo's questionably heath-minded exercise tool. No matter - GamesRadar get that Wii Fit's not there to replace actual fitness and that despite the curious inclusion of the Body Mass Index (calculating a percentage based on height and weight, thus giving a readout of how "healthy" you are) they know Wii Fit's primary goal is to promote exercise and health.
Yet, GamesRadar still wonder how accurate a robotic weight scale could be. And because they love asserting their human brain dominance over a cold calculating machine, they nabbed Sally Coucouvanis, a certified yoga instructor for children with special needs to help us assess whether Nintendo's Wii game was true to the yogi lifestyle.
This hardcore gamer grandma has put nearly 4,000 days into Wii Fit!
The NPD Group has revealed the top 10 best-selling exclusives in the U.S. since 1995, and Nintendo holds all 10 spots.
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.
VGChartz's William D'Angelo: "Today we take a look at the top 10 best-selling games for yet another platform. Up to this point we have looked at the original PlayStation, the Nintendo 64, the PlayStation 2, the original Xbox, the GameCube, the Nintendo DS, and the PSP. This week it's the turn of Nintendo's most popular home console, the Wii.
The Wii is the fifth best-selling video game platform in history and the third best-selling home console in gaming history. It is also the best-selling home console not released by Sony. It sold 101.18 million units lifetime."
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
GR: Does Wii Fit do it for you? Would you play it again? Or would you tell Nintendo to suck it?
Sally: No. No. And yes on the suck it part!
Sally looks like she doesn't say no to a lot of people on the whole 'suck it' part, especially the females if you know what I mean.
Yep it makes kiddies cry, making them think they are fatties and that makes me laugh. So yes it does work for me any way
National Obesity Forum
It's a con for the price their charging, I mean £70($135) ...pfft...no thank you.
But it probably does help, and some exercise is gotta be better than none so it could be helping some people but for people thinking this is their saviour are sadly mistaken.
