Its exercise. Balance Board feedback is sometimes vague. Weak multiplayer support.
Cant queue up exercises to form a routine
Insensitive to body-image issues
BMI doesnt measure fitness.
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.

Youre forced to unlock most of the activities
Some games are rather shallow
Health and fitness assessments can be problematic
Board is sensitive
But you can still cheat at exercises.
Too focused on weight and BMI as indicators of health
Gets terribly repetitive very quickly
No way to design a proper regimen
Minimal cardiovascular element
No multiplayer at all
Occasionally made us feel bad about ourselves
You cant set up a customized workout
Questionable fitness evaluation abilities
Only one board can be synced with a Wii at a time

Some tactless messages
The yoga instructor can be a little snarky
Lacks custom activitylist creation
Lacks twoplayer vs. mode

Abstract: Nintendo’s Wii made its mark as the fun system that got gamers and non-gamers alike off their couches to play tennis and golf with motion-sensing controllers. On Monday, the company will introduce an accessory that encourages users to take exercising w...
Abstract: Wii Fit's doing something right. A couple of days into the game's workout regimen, I didn't want to keep playing -- it is exercise, after all. But I persevered, and eventually I improved at the minigames, felt physically challenged on some exercises, a...
Abstract: Wii Fit takes the whole concept of games as exercise to a new level with the inclusion of a balance board peripheral that can tell you on the fly exactly how well--or how poorly--youre doing with its various activities. As such, Nintendo is heavily ma...

Wii Fit will help you work up a sweat, but its not as smooth and fun a workout as youd probably like. ...
Another crazy Nintendo idea that works. You'll need time and dedication if you want to reap any real benefits to your health, but even if you fail you'll have some fun along the way....
Abstract: So, when is a game not a game? Well, when its not fun, probably. Collective sighs of relief then for Wii Fit because, yes, its fun. Thats not to say wed suggest every single one of you rush out and buy it though. In much the same way you probably a...
Abstract: The Wii was a test that we all failed! Nintendo was testing us (didnt we say so?) to find out whether we would pay through the nose for casual gaming equipment. As we by the thousand queued up to get our Wiis we were writing our own future of expensi...
