The worst is the ritual shaming process. "Golly, you didn't reach your goal. In fact, you gained five pounds! Why did you gain 5 pounds?" "I don't know." "You don't know? YOU DON'T F***ING KNOW?! I SUGGEST YOU AND YOUR FAT F***ING FACE TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK DOWN OCCASIONALLY. Just...no, no body test today. Go run laps or something." |

Some truth. The Wii Fit board is rude at times, and if you gain weight it will demand an explanation: Snacking, Overeating, Late-night snacks, indigestion, etc. All food-based. Even if you're a 200lbs. man and you gain ONE pound. It will then bring that reason up days later. It's simply too stupid to be your coach, and when it tries the thing is frustrating or insulting. But it's a really good piece of exercise equipment (small, cheap, and fun) if you just want to burn some energy. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2625 Joined: 14 Jan 2008   | its true, Wii Fit IS evil! I knew it!! Thats why I have my Wii locked in a closet with no light just in case if the moonlight hits it it transformes into a were-Nintendo and savages my 360 |
Paperboy  Posts: 17 Joined: 27 Aug 2008  | Ugh, Wii Fit is definitely an impudent little shit sometimes. "I'm here to improve your posture and a variety of other passive-aggressive body-positive crap! But if you want the colourful little stamps for your calendar, you're going to have to weigh yourself obsessively every day!" "You haven't been on in 2 days! NOW YOU WILL CATCH THE FAT. SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?!" |
Paperboy  Posts: 42 Joined: 29 Jul 2008     | No, your Wii Fit isn't the only one that acts that way, I'd swear I've seen those very screens, before. One of the funniest things about Wii Fit is that all it can really test you on is the distribution of weight between your feet, so it behaves as if this is the most important indicator of overall fitness. Out here in the real world, I never have people come up to me and say, "Hey, looking good! Your weight looks really evenly distributed over your left and right feet! Rrrowr." Well, hardly ever. |

Well if you end up not hearing from her for a very long time, and later discovering that she has killed herself in her bathtub from multiple wrist cuts, a bottle of sleeping pills, and an iPod plugged to the wall charger... Then the Wii Fit would have served its intended purpose. |

Shigeru Miyamoto said that Wii Fit was meant to make you "aware of your body" -- making you aware of what a pitiful human being you are is apparently just a bonus.
