Big T Versus The Wii Fit
by Torrence Davis
They had Wii Fits out at Nintendo’s booth today. I figured I’d give it a try. Now you must know that I’m 6′4″, 355lbs. I know the Japanese version is rated at 300lbs, but supposedly the American version of the Wii Fit is rated at 330lbs. I gave it a shot anyways. I stood on the Wii Fit, it started calculating and then shut me down. It said I was too heavy to play Wii Fit. So if people think they can get fit by using a Wii Fit and they are over 330lbs, then they’ll have to get fit just so they can use Wii Fit so they can get fit. Makes a lot of sense doesn’t it?
Stumble it!

I believe a Nintendo exec/PR said Wii-Fit was NOT a fitness regime, but more a physical game - basically “we dont want to be sued from people hurting themselves using it as their main workout”…
Yeah I heard this too, but they are marketing it somewhat as a workout tool with the games that come with the Wii Fit. They have the fun kiddie games and the excercise games.
