So who has Wii Fit?

Came out today here in Australia and it is amazing, I wasn't expecting much but after I started to play, it was awesome!

It really does give you a workout and your muscles feel soar afterwoods in a good way, it also makes you want to excerise and go back each day to train some more.

I suggest all Wii owners to get it.

Also post your stats here!

When it comes to "gaming work-outs" 0I prefer DDR , though I have to admit Wii Fit sounds pretty interesting; especially the snowboarding and skiing minigames. Sounds likes fun.

I plan on picking it up from Toys 'R Us on the 20th. I've been looking forward to it since it was announced at last year's E3.

 

[ShinyLucario]

Not yet. still got a bit to pay off

 

[latios reborn]

I'll be getting it shortly..

I did find a sstory though how it trumatised some teenage girl by calling her overweight..

 

[~Water Lucario~]

Well she obviously must have been.

That test however is meant to be done on adults apparently.

 

[latios reborn]

Well obviously but the fact was that she got all trumatised over it.

I played it before it was released at Myer a couple of days a go and so far it's oright i might get it once the price drops down hell low.

"Rest assured, this is only the beginning. A game like this is fine in Japan, but just you wait until the sensitive, unaccountable American housewives get their claws on this thing. It'll be [fire]storm central and no mistake. Personally, I don't need a piece of plastic pretending to be a set of scales telling me I'm fat -- I can tell from looking at the [evidence]."

Anyway, It looks pretty fun, but a little expensive for me right now. It seemed awkward when I saw the expo of it.

 

[Opal Pikachu13]

I would like to get it too, but yeah, it's too expensive for me to get now.

I don't know what constitutes as being "overweight" in kids these days, I was watching this show the other day called "Too fat to toddle" about overweight under 5's, and there were some pretty chubby kiddies on there, but then there was this girl, who to me looked perfectly slim and they said she was obese So much for the "puppy fat" cover up.

I don't have it yet, mainly becuase I don't really have anywhere to put it. My friend who has it is/was enjoying it, I think he's probably fell off the hype of "getting fit while playing games" as he realised he doesn't get as fit as he would if he sprinted on a treadmill for 10 minutes and it isn't half as fun as a game of Smash Bros.
If you're a hardcore gamer, don't get this in a bid to make yourself fit, as you'll probably stop playing once you've unlocked everything as your gamer instinct will tell you "you've beat the game, now go do something else" ^^

Staff double posting?

You're fired.

anyways, I'm waitin for some friends to get it so I can see how it works before I buy it.

 

[Munchy]

A lot of commercials of it running in the TV, and well, ever since I heard of it I thought it sounded quite interesting. Don't have it (yet?), if I save up plenty of money and have the time and enthusiasm, I might buy it. But before it, I still have Super Paper Mario, MKWii and SSBB to get, haha.

 

[NotChip]

I have no room in my bedroom to set this up in (my room is tiny) so I wont be buying it anytime soon.

However, I did get a promotional T-shirt.

 

[MidnightScott]

BMI isn't very accurate. You could be made up muscle and the game would still say you are overweight. If it measured Body Fat then it would be accurate but it doesn't. Don't listen to games yall.

[Night Shadow]

I don't have Wii Fit but i have a question! I''m in shape but I want to know if Wii fit builds muscle besides losing fat

 

[ReallyOcean]

It probably helps tone you a lot while stengthing muscles. Probably not as well as actually lifting weights, but still good enough for me.

 

[~Water Lucario~]

Yes, it has a Muscle Building section full of methods to tone and eventually build your muscles on all parts of your body.

 

[freekhenstra]

I have the game too!

And the Body Test results depend on your age too, I would have got different results if I was older/younger.

Jogging Fun Facts:
*It doesn't use the Balance Board, instead, you use the Wii Remote which you can either put in your pocket or hold.
*If you run too fast, you'll fall.
*You can see 8-Bit Mario's on some locations
*The longest length you can choose is "Island Lap" which can take more than 10 minutes.
*If you run really fast/shake the Wii Remote fast when a dog is next to you, it will say "Now, follow the dog" and you will have to follow the dog instead of a random Mii. This is easily done on the "Island Lap", when you start there, immediatly shake the Wii Remote fast, even if you fall, keep shaking. Most likely at the second fall, a dog appears, and you'll see "Now, follow the dog".
