It's a foregone conclusion that Wii Fit will fly off shelves when it's release across Europe on April 24, but the question still remains whether it's worth the hefty asking price. Sure, you're getting the nifty new Wii Balance Board for your money but can it really get the nation in shape or are gamers simply paying for a glorified set of scales?
That question in mind, IGN invited James Mitchell, Esquire magazine's fitness columnist, head trainer at London's One Aldwych gym and – it turns out – games geek to delve deep into Nintendo's latest system seller and lay the fat-busting facts on the table. Working from initial character creation right through to a hearty workout with the title's balance, aerobic, muscular and yoga exercises, IGN were keen to hear his thoughts on Wii Fit's philosophy, execution and, of course, health benefits.
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.
And the #1 game on this list is also the #1 game (and accessory) to be found at the local goodwill.
Take a look at the 50 best selling games of all time https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
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
I guess you can't really say it doesn't help people lose weight now, if they use it continuously in the way it's intended.
