ya cause its only a problem in america. (sarcasm) Its a personal problem not a countries problem nor any one companies for that matter. I live in the U.S. and i have no problem working out and keeping a good diet. I think if these guys want to work out and want to spend all that money they might as well spend it on a REAL GYM membership

If you're over 150Kg,don't buy Wii Fit.

Even at 270lbs playing video games should be the last thing on your mind. The fact that it maxes out at 330lbs is unbelievable.

its not about relying, the only thing Wii-fit could do is motivate people.

You have to admit, people aren't easily motivated to do some fitness on their own.

honestly... 330LB is a LOT.. i'm about 200 myself. I'm not Tall and by BMI i'm considered MORBIBLY OBESE yet i am pretty healthy and fit.. i buy pants off the rack without having to alter them.. and i play sports..

but I will NOT play WII FIT.. that is a joke.. i love my wii but i have no space and will to play this 'game'

also if the weight limit is stated on the packaging and you can't read that then you my friend may have 2 problems..

problem 1: you can't really read
problem 2: when you go to the beach people try to push you back in thinking your a whale..

so maybe you should take a class or something and then doa lot of walking.. just don't walk to McDonalds.. thats bad.. walk to the park.. and please turn your dictionary to the letter S... and look up SALAD.. you need one of those.. if you cannot read what it says under salad walk into a grocery store and ask the nice people in the produce isle to help you out..

but wait whats the point of me typing all this if you can't read you fat tub of lard..

12 - this is Nintendo's OWN fault really
Remember that game system called Nintendo Entertaining System?
Well what about the SUPER NES??? Or the N64?!!
Right! Of course you remember!
You probably played these when you were growing up.
This is probably one of the reasons why you didnt excercise (much) because you were too busy playing Super Mario and Yoshi's Island!
Hence creating bad habits all due to Nintendo's own doing.
Had you known about Wii Fit years ago you wouldn't have spent all those days collecting all the hearts in Legend of Zelda, or beating all those Metroid games, or trying to fiond all the secrets in Super Mario 64!

Tsk tsk tsk...Nintendo has always been it's own worst enemy.

410 lb fatasses would still complain.

Man, if I ever got anywhere NEAR that weight I would pull a "Cobain" on myself.

Great response Nintendo.

I really believe this guy for all intents and purposes wants to get some form of compensation ( which is prevalent in the U.S. ) if the Wii fit would'nt deliver it's promise to get him slimmer, also because this guy truly believes he is not overweight for his height.

22 - i love that pic...
but anyway, it's ironic that an earlier comment said that we are fat because of the good ol' nintendo days. it's true because now i am twenty and for the two years i stopped playing with my gamecube i lost 60 pounds and now i'm right back to vg, but i never gained the weight again.
well, i am still wanting to play wii fit, but my interest in it has waned dramatically, just because i want a REAL game for nintendo now.
