I personally have no beef with wii fit and although I'm not exactly fat I do want it. Maybe I should get fat first and then I can justify my purchase...

Mah leg! I can't move mah leg!!"
Casual games are a derogatory title given to games that target people who stopped playing video games just before the FPS revolution in the mid 90's.
Nintendo uses the idea that if we get ahold of people with the games they used to play, then they will slowly introduce them to the higher teir games (i.e. FPS, RPG, RTS). So nintendos focus atm is on low teir games like Non-Fiction games (i.e wii sports, wii fit), moving into platformers, puzzle platformers and adventure games.
Nintendo is not shunning the 'hardcore' market there trying to introduce old gamers to 'hardcore' games.
Wii Fit is just a step along the way!
And yes I own a Wii, and im only talking about nintendo games, third party developers falsely target these 'casual gamers' and use thier 4th or 5th string dev teams to create it. So you end up with shit.
And of all the other peripherals, it will be the one that every developer wants to include, then realise people don't want to stand for the 20+ hours it takes to play and FPS or RPG.
If it had a decent line of applications (getting fit is not a game, in my mind), it might be worth it, at the American price of £45 (give or take). But no more.
