Wii Fit hasn't even hit shelves yet, but that hasn't stopped the third party rubbish from kick starting. Introducing the Wii Fit yoga mat, a special piece of cloth that you need to own if you're serious about losing weight. Why? Well, it's green of course!
For the low, low price of £19.99, you too could own this piece of sh*t that's guaranteed to increase your Wii Fit enjoyment by a whopping 0%! The yoga mat "is designed to be placed between flooring and the Wii Balance Board to reduce impact and provide body support," according to manufacturer Hori. That's worth twenty quid of anybody's money, because I've never seen a piece of cloth until Hori invented it.
This mat is officially licensed, so you don't have to worry it about it being crap. I don't know about you guys, but I've already ordered ten thousand million of them! I got them on special offer with a handful of magic f*cking beans!

It must be GOOD!
Jim you are awesome. So true.
but where did you order the beans?
but whatever.
you can knock wii fit all you like but its got this gamer ready to buy one and lose some pounds by trying to reduce my tummy age or whatever nintendoism they attach to it.
it might be only as effective as a work out video, but fuck it, its a work out video for people who would never do that stuff.
i also look forward to EA ssx title that uses the balance board, sounds like a great idea.
Welcome to reality? I'm beginning to think you're trolling your own blog with these Wii posts. Or maybe just catering to people who would actually use an old t-shirt or paper towels in place of a rug.... (I guess that could fly in dorm room or mom's basement?)
People buy exercise mats and rugs everyday, you're just popping a forehead vein because this one has Wii written on it and Nintendo said 'OK'?
Though I'd assume that the WiiFit board has some sort of non-slip rubber on it already. If it doesn't though, this thing would become a freakin' must have! Unless you want WiiFit to break your SPINE!
Oh, and dish towels, paper towels, etc. would negate any non-slip that the WiiFit board already has so that would be a quick way to incur medical costs.
In conclusion, yes, it's lame, but yoga mats are sold for this price (and often more) every day of the week.
But I am seriously going to need that yoga mat....
Muahahaha!!
Many Yoga postures can be quite strenuous on the physical form, and practice over time can do such things as increase muscle flexibility, tendon strength, stamina, etc
Maybe it's genetics?
I come from a long line of dumb people. My mom collects cookie tins with CocaCola written on them. They're unreasonably expensive because of their association with that bubbly sugar-beverage, but it makes her happy so...
It's called the free enterprise system. Don't like - don't buy. Or come up with your own scam to separate Nintendo fans from their money.
