Wii Fit Up Close and Personal


It's more than a peripherial, more than a game. It's an exercise device! Crecente and I checked out Wii Fit, playing a balancing game and a ski jump mini game. The Wii Balance Board is super senstive — surprisingly so. What I learned about myself? My balance sucks. Like really sucks. Playing it, I actually did feel the burn in my legs — which is the point, I guess. The "game" element was rather challenging — more so than the intuitive nature of something like Wii Tennis. For example, I tried to do the Wii Fit ski jump several times, and for the life of me, I couldn't. Crecente finally was able to successfully do the ski jump after a few times. As a way to exercise, it works. As an actual game, less so. It's an exercise program with Nintendo interface. Videos after the jump...
