Gotta be honest, I kind of want to buy it. It's good for the days when it's too fucking cold and snowing or raining like crazy, like it always does around here.
They had SHITLOADS of them at the biggest electronics store in town. SHITLOADS. And no one was buying them.

The scores in spoilers is spot on
I like the Brain Age-like progression where you keep unlocking harder challenges and different exercises.
I've done it for three continuous days now, and my weight has dropped consistently 200g each day.
I think this will sell quite slowly at first, like Brain Age did, but will pick up a lot with word of mouth, and I expect sales will be massive after the pigging out season.
There is a recognized phenomenon (i.e. i saw this on tv once...) wherein weight drops just by recording it every day, with no conscious change in diet or excercise. I'm pretty damned skeptical that Wii Fit is actually going to make anyone significantly fitter in any way they couldn't accomplish just as easily without WiiFit, but if all it does is take the pain out of recording your weight every day, it's probably worth something in terms of weight loss and making you realize the impact of your diet. But let's not talk about weight loss over a 3 day period...you need a much longer study period to get any sort of meaningful result.
Skepticism is always welcome. For me, Wii Fit is just more fun than Billy's Boot Camp, and more convenient than going to the gym. There was a time a couple of years back when I used to do squats and jogging on the spot for 5 mins every morning, but it soon got dull. Also, you must try yoga on a balance board. It's so much more difficult when you can see where your centre of weight is.
lyte edge, I've opened up the long course on the jogging, and it took about 6 minutes. There might be longer too... hopefully. Also, it's kind of up to you how much effort you put into it. If you lift your knees up higher and stuff, you burn more calories. I always seem to be jogging at 240% and get four stars... for what it's worth.
well it doesn't seem that AWFUL. it's like Yourself: Fitness that was on xbox1 but with more interesting exercises.
I really don't know what all the demented honking is about with anti-Wiifit crowd.
Seems way more worth while than "Eye of Judgement" or "Time Crisis 4" both of which cost more.
QuoteOnce you're past age 25 if you're not naturally blessed with absurd metabolism you need to change your lifestyle, not rely on a little exercise each day.
huh? not sure i'm getting this...
you need to change your lifestyle rather than rely on a little exercise?
is "rely" the right word here? this makes it sound like everyone in the world who exercise is some sort of sucker who has been dragged into a con!
exercise has a number of things that are beneficial to you , health wise.
Sitting on ass and altering your diet to stop you from gaining weight is a lost battle right from the off.
Anyways, if wiifit at least gets people thinking about their weight, gets them doing even gentle exercise, then it's a good thing.
Even if people think "WTF? What a load of shit! I'll go to the gym instead! stupid nintendolts!" then even THAT has served a purpose.
Hell,l i dont have any intention of using wiifit for its exercise (the wife bought it) but i'll damn well be using it to track weightloss/BMI etc...
I'm way past 25 - i might be abnormal here , but i LIKE exercise.

Does the Wii Fit setup raise heart rate to 145 ish for 20 minutes or more? This is important because no device is really an element of weight loss until this takes place. There's a reason there are thin marathon runners and fat weight lifters. I will admit that Wii Fit's planned exercises may put someone in the proper mindset to lose weight, and may even promote a sort of good feeling placebo effect, but I HIGHLY doubt its low impact yoga stuff matters. You never see fat people doing yoga to lose weight.
In short, Wii Fit is for people who are already fit that need to maybe stretch a bit lol.
QuoteThe reason there tend to be thin runners and fat weightlifters
(i know you are talking about professionals here, but i'm going to ignore it for a moment,...)
BUT WAIT! I'm a fat runner , and i can't lift weights for shit!
why though? that goes pretty contrary to what you are saying in the part above that i agree with.
Increasing your exercise increases the deficit in your favour, sitting doing nothing makes it harder to take in a healthy amount of vitamins/minerals etc without breaking your deficit and it means you have to sacrifice what you eat.
1 hour of jogging (at least on my read out) burns around 800 kcals - 2 hours, which is what i'm aiming for would stick me at 1600 kcals - which is the vast chunk of the days intake.
Sitting on your ass is going to force you calorie intake down to very low levels as you become more and more inactive - it's unhealthy and eventually you may push your body into starvation mode. And as you get older and your metabolism kicks in and your body waves a little white flag and suddenly "fatboyitis" kicks in, getting into exercise is more difficult.
Exercising now whilst your young makes it easy as you get significantly older.
Quotehave a low metabolism it is possible to lose weight during this time without being hungry all the time (a clear indication you're starving yourself).
i'd still suggest this is very hard to accomplish and requires more discipline than it would take to do the 25 minutes of exercise ;)
edit: Also, since this thread is about it. Wii Fit looks fun from the impressions Sporks keeps posting.

Asside from the Terror-bites (which arent that bad) TC4 is a VER welcome return of console arcade gun shooting. We havent had this since we all went to LCD TV's.
Isnt Namco supposed to be planning to release classic TC and Guncon 2+1 games on the PSN store for cheap download? Ill get them all - arcade shooters are god.
so or this game really popular in japan?
