Thorin Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I'm under no illusions that it'll make me lose weight, but I'm going to buy one because the skiing looks fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 inst the whole console just a bit gimmicky I think you have to respect them for making such a group orientated console / games combo that gives an incentive to compete against people face to face. It's the gimmick side of it that makes it what it is, has to be a lot of fun for those folks who have a regular group of friends or family round.

It's the gimmick side of it that makes it what it is, has to be a lot of fun for those folks who have a regular group of friends or family round. dont get me wrong, the idea behind the console is commendable but i think its showcased as being the next step in console technology (not referring to the graphics), when similar technology was used with the SNES Scope. The real gimmick though is all the add-ons. I quite like the wii for what it is; i think the next step on from board games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested to know how you get on with it though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Restorer Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 We went to get one earlier in the week too. Nintendo are right feckers with not making enough to meet original demand and then making people more determined to buy (add-ons) at their relatively steep prices.

Dr_Doom Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I've got one & I think it's wicked!! .. I've been trying to get on it at least once a day to see if i can lose some weight! Apparently i'm overweight but not obese! phew! ... There's tons of exercises and games on it & i've still got loads more to unlock! For those who doubt it, it's definitely not a gimmick! It's surprising how knackered you are after about half an hour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Got mine it rocks! The running is super hard on the 3rd level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Can we assume reading the text above your avatar that the Wii fit didnt really work then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I fail to see how doing it wont help you. The yoga poses are good, the running had even my football playing super fit mates dripping and doing press ups and sit ups work. Using Wii fit alone to drop weight would work but also take time.

Matt H Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 inst the whole console just a bit gimmicky I'm sure thats what anyone whos never played the proper games on it would say. But when you play games like COD3 on the PS3 then turn on the Wii version, you appriciate how much more fun the Wii version is. then games such as PRO evo8. games such as Zelda and Mario etc, its all made so much more interactive due to the controls. Its not perfect mind but while i have both the PS3 and the Wii, i seem to always buy games for the Wii first. Just imagine GTA4 with the remote. the most annoying part of GTA 4, aiming your gun and moving the camera around would be instantly made perfect. It just wouldnt look as good!

Matt H Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 On a serious note however, i havent go one myself, but i've heard its a great motivator, and if your one of those people that doesnt do much exercise then it adds a bit of fun, plus you can monitor your progress. Jurys out though until i've had a bash though but if i was going off what others that have one say they yeah its seems to be a great idea and a fun "game" if you will.

Is definately a great motivator, even my dad has had a go on it. My mum has seen a slight decrease in BMI and weight and has been on it just as much as me. My BMI has gone up and down though, however i am in ideal so not to bothered:D Just out of interest for you lot that have it, do you do a body test every day?

I wonder if they'll do a Wii version, then I'd have a go too I'd like the Wii Fit, but its difficult to get at the moment, and money's tied up in other things too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
