Does Wii Fit Work?

Reports have already surfaced about Wii Fit calling a young girl fat and the National Obesity Forum calling for children to stay away from Nintendo's questionably heath-minded exercise tool. No matter - GamesRadar get that Wii Fit's not there to replace actual fitness and that despite the curious inclusion of the Body Mass Index (calculating a percentage based on height and weight, thus giving a readout of how "healthy" you are) they know Wii Fit's primary goal is to promote exercise and health.

Yet, GamesRadar still wonder how accurate a robotic weight scale could be. And because they love asserting their human brain dominance over a cold calculating machine, they nabbed Sally Coucouvanis, a certified yoga instructor for children with special needs to help us assess whether Nintendo's Wii game was true to the yogi lifestyle.

GR: Does Wii Fit do it for you? Would you play it again? Or would you tell Nintendo to suck it?

Sally: No. No. And yes on the suck it part!

Sally looks like she doesn't say no to a lot of people on the whole 'suck it' part, especially the females if you know what I mean.

sad how uninformed people buy into this gimick.

how are you reduced to 3 bubbles? bubbles+ for you

Gazman6540d ago

Yep it makes kiddies cry, making them think they are fatties and that makes me laugh. So yes it does work for me any way

Perverted6540d ago

It's a con for the price their charging, I mean £70($135) ...pfft...no thank you.

But it probably does help, and some exercise is gotta be better than none so it could be helping some people but for people thinking this is their saviour are sadly mistaken.

I think Wii fit is BARELY enough to maintain an old person's health.

Intrepid6540d ago

I don't think it's really a ripoff. I spent $90 but I think the balance board is worth it. It's a great scale and the tech is pretty advanced. Not to mention, they're making games for it as we speak.

Honestly, some of the workouts can be very tough. I'm 18 and by no means unhealthy, but some of the yoga and strength training exercises caught me off guard. Don't knock it 'til you try it.

Literal_Cringe2707d ago

You're not much of a gamer then.

lxeasy2707d ago

Damn Nintendo Domination!

King_Noctis2708d ago

Kindda surprising actually. All games are from Nintendo.

darthv722707d ago

And the #1 game on this list is also the #1 game (and accessory) to be found at the local goodwill.

Nintendo has always had the most mass appeal, my Mother would play Mario.

There's landslides and then there's this. Wouldn't be surprised if the top 50 was mostly Nintendo games.

Paytaa2708d ago

The only other game's that cracked the Top 15 aside from Nintendo were Halo 3, Halo Reach, and Halo 4.

EddieNX 2708d ago (Edited 2708d ago )

Good. I adore Halo!! It's the only online shooting game for me.

The Wii was a beast! The entire top 10 selling more than 10 million units each!

FallenAngel19843830d ago

Just like the DS list, every game on the Wii's list has sold over 10 million. Not even PS1 and PS2 did that. That's very incredible
