Well, I have been reading into Wii fit more and it just does not seem like a winner for Nintendo.

Below are a few things Nintendo plans to do with Wii fit..

* A ball-rolling mini-game, where you use the Wii Balance Board to roll a ball on a platform into a certain hole which allows you to advance to the next level.[8]
* A Boxing minigame.
* Hula hooping[8]
* Jogging
* Push ups[8]
* Ski jumping, whereby the player squats as low as possible, while maintaining his or her balance, and then quickly stands as fast as possible in order to gain a good jump[18]
* Snowboarding
* Heading on-coming soccer balls and avoiding other objects by leaning forward and back[8]
* Step aerobics, including a game in which the player must step on and off the Wii Balance Board in rhythm to the background music[8]
* Tightrope walking, where the player must maintain the balance of a Mii walking on a tightrope from one building top to another.
* Yoga exercises[8]


I can't believe people would actually use this to work out. For god sakes go for a walk outside or go to a gym! We'll see how this shapes up but what do you all think about this?

I wouldn't get it personally, but this "game" is cheaper than a gym membership.

Well all that matters is that I will buy it lol. I just can't wait to see what developers can manage to do with the balance board, because the possibilities are endless...

I think it will be for all the mothers out their. Hell, I think even the grandmothers will get into it. That is why my mom got me a wii, is because it will be a good work out for her. She lost 5 pounds she says from the Wii Diet lol.

I have played it a few times. I just messed around with the little mini games they had. While it is fun, its not something I would go out and buy. You dont really get a good workout out of it and it would become boring after awhile.
