Wii Fit Launches In Japan

This is it, kids. The start of a new era of video gaming has begun as Nintendo has shipped Wii Fit in Japan. The 8800 yen (about $80 US) game with its custom controller, the Wii balance board, was revealed at E3 2007, with some expecting it to act as the Wii's answer to Nintendo DS-selling mega-hit Brain Age.

North American and European gamers won't have access to Wii Fit until sometime in 2008, but Japan is burning calories as we speak (or will be within hours).

IT'S A CHEAP WAY OF EXERCISING,NOTHING MORE,NOTHING LESS.

BISHOP-BRASIL6020d ago

Props? For what? A fu*king exercise machine? Keep waiting for my props...

Buy your ab-swing, ab-enforcer, ab-anything... ab-wiifit.

Seriously, can it be any worse for Nintendo's Library? Sorry about Metroid, Legend Of Zelda, Zack and Wiki, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. 'Brown', but you all got owned...

If this wiifit thing really works then I might just get one to motivate my chick to go with me to the gym!

But I sure as hell hope they make a surfing, or even skating game for wii that uses that board. I'd imagine that surfing on that board would be a work out... only difference is a surfing game would be an actual game!

All Wii fit is is the Exercise mode in DDR... with a difference thing to stand on.

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

Paytaa2012d ago

Oh you're one of those real gamers

Literal_Cringe2012d ago

You're not much of a gamer then.

lxeasy2012d ago

Damn Nintendo Domination!

King_Noctis2012d ago

Kindda surprising actually. All games are from Nintendo.

darthv722012d ago

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.

Paytaa2012d ago

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

EddieNX 2012d ago (Edited 2012d 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!

FallenAngel19843135d 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
