Wii Fit or I can't touch my toes either
Cowzilla3 | 11:38 AM on 12.04.2007 11 comments







I to the GN (you know the other corporate site that isn't in trouble) has some new Wii Fit videos up from the Japanese version. I'm sure I'm not the only one at least slightly interested in this but from these videos it looks like the stand is a bit more mini-game oriented than I though it was going to be. Which isn't dissapointing but leaves me wondering how "fit" one could actually get using this. I presonelly want it to work almost like a personnel trainer but if its just going to throw a bunch of games at me that have something to do with moving my legs I think I'll lose interest pretty quickly. The stretching and Yoga part looks pretty interesting, especially since I have a bad back and balance excercises are something I'm supposed to be doing. I'd make fun of the guy trying to touch his toes in the video but I've never been able to do it either.

I'm pretty sure this will be the next big seller out there for the Wii and I know your going to see it in gyms (I've got money on a month after release for when you'll see the new story, anybody else?). Soon we'll have a bunch of soccer moms in Wii Fit classes, following a "Wii expert." Ready, and hed that ball. OK! Now, we're gonna ski, get ready ladies and one and two." I've got visions in my head of actually getting back in some sort of shape with it but I feel like those probably are far fetched from these videos, still standing up in general every once in a while seems like a good idea. I think I'll try it now...OH God, I've fallen and I can't get up. Where is Wii Emergency Rescue when you need it.

You fool! One cannot simply rush into to something as difficult as standing up. Baby steps man, baby steps.

Wii fit, its such a funny premise.

"WE KNOW FOR THE MOST PART ALL YOU GAMERS ARE A BUNCH OF FAT LAZY FUCKS THAT DONT GET OFF THEIR ASS TO EVEN SHIT IN YOUR TOILET. SO HERES A FUCKING GAME THAT MIGHT MAKEA DENT IN THAT GIANT DISGUSTING MASS YOU CALL A BODY"

I'd buy it for the girlfriend but she'd probably take it the wrong way.....

Other than that: Fuck the Wii Fit.

 about me

Hi,
Names Matt Razak and I'm just a gamer with a Wii and a 360. I'm also really, really, really, ridiculously good looking and a ninja...and humble. If you haven't noticed from my selfless self promoting or my Monday reviews I'm a film critic for a living at a local newspaper in Northern Virginia. I write at That VideoGame Blog but my heart will always belong to D-toid.

Right now I'm working on these games:
Mario Kart Wii
