Wii Fit

Posted by pookzilla on June 21, 2009

After much wimbling we decided to pick up Wii Fit today.  As a first impression it’s pretty bloody awesome.   The board is responsive and the activities were a lot more intense than I was expecting – after half an hour I’ve managed to work up a really nice sweat.  I’m aiming to play for 30 minutes a day and see what kind of results I get – according to my pudgy, judgmental little avatar I’m Overweight – I’d like to show her a thing or two.

Incidentally, I’ve all but given up on the Wii.  As a console it’s a pretty dramatic disappointment.  Nintendo puts out some good first party titles (and have farmed out  some development of other assets to some competent folks) but in general the machine just doesn’t get any use.  I’ve always loved Nintendo, but they’re on the cusp of losing me here…
