Cant queue up exercises to form a routine
Insensitive to body-image issues

You look like a loon when using it.

Youre forced to unlock most of the activities
Some games are rather shallow

Abstract: Since you're reading this article, you might be wondering how good this game really is and if it's actually worth your money. If that's the case, I have both good and bad news for you. But don't worry too much; if you're serious about starting a new exerc...
Abstract: Cut off the sleeves on those tshirts and whip out the headband, Wii Fit will have you doing pushups, situps and yoga, but does it really get the body going or is it just an overhyped gimmick? Wii Fit for the Nintendo Wii, is another one of Nintendos ...

Realistically, I wouldn’t get my hopes up about having Wii Fit completely change anyone’s physique in any sort of substantial way. It’s a fun diversion from a proper exercise regimen, but you can certainly make use of it to improve your...
Abstract: At this point in time, there are three kinds of people in the world: people that have managed to score themselves a copy of the elusive videogame/virtual gym Wii Fit, people that wouldn't be caught dead touching the thing for fear that it may transfor...
Exercise for the masses, loads of built in games and cheaper than going to the gym - you also get a laugh when other people use it in front of you.
Foot plate area could be bigger, the balance board itself could be quite difficult to store, in short supply, you look like a loon when using it.
Great solo fun if you can get hold of it and may even go someway to making the chubbier among us to put down the pork pie and do some exercise instead. Look out for future Nintendo Wii games in the pipeline that will also use the balance board. Login...

The Balance Board is one of the coolest game controllers weve used, and it has lots of potential for applications beyond Wii Fits current crop of exercises and games. Wed love to see extension packs for Wii Fit with new games like surfing and ice sk...
Nintendo did it again. They have created very interesting device (product) that combines fun and real life exercise. It allows users to have fun and play games while staying physically active which actually redefines video games and breaks enrooted ...
Abstract: Wii Fits presentation is typical Nintendo, which is to say that it’s clean, cartoony, and cheery for the most part. The title looks best while in the aerobic and balance game modes, with a players assortment of Miis taking center stage. It makes for...
Most of the exercises are fun to watch, if not fun to do. WiiFit has the potential to be a great party game, as well as an in home gym setup. Its certainly family and kid friendly, and can possibly help all you parents out there convince your childre...
Abstract: Raw eggs not included. Wii Fit is possibly the ultimate casual game. Its marketing targets a wide spectrum of players, such as soccer moms and people that don’t know what exercise is. It contains no blatant references to any established Nintendo franc...
