    It's amazing how much a of a sweet you can work up from Wii tennis and boxing Almost embarrassing really since you'll be playing with your friends and wearing your casual street clothes. #wiifit

    I'm not sure I could call that healthy. Punching the air for prolonged periods of time can be potentially harmful to your arms.

    Also, did anyone else catch that "Nintendo-funded study"? Yeah, I don't have a hard time believing these results at all. #wiifit

    No no you've got it all wrong, they're not paying Nintendo to let them exercise, they are paying them to make it LOOK like they exercise.

    @p.e.r.e.g.r.i.n.e.: I chuckled a bit.

    They're paying Nintendo to help them project the illusion that they exercise, so that it might reflect on their character somehow. I understand now.

    Thank you, sir.

    If anyone remembers, there was an exercise bike peripheral for the SNES as well. It only supported two games, though bizarrely one of them was a racing game based off of Speed Racer.

    @Kris: But lacking from a real exercise bike are the doohickies like calorie measuring, heart rate, and incline adjustments. It also looks pretty flimsy. So this is no substitute for a real exercise bike.

    @Cpryd001: Calorie count and heart rate.... Nintendo could make another Wii Fit game, or an add on or something. Boom, calorie count. And they are working on that pulse sensor thing. You can work that into the game/program; it doesn't have to be a doohicky embedded into the bike itself.

    It's a cool idea, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to buy something that takes up that much space.

    If someone had like a gym or something in their house and was already going to buy an exercise bike then they might pony up the extra cash to make their bike rides more fun.
    I know I would.

    I wonder how big of a demographic that is?

    @p.e.r.e.g.r.i.n.e.: Except that if you're planning to buy a bike for your gym, you would probably want to invest in a comfortable, quality machine because you'll be using it for extended periods of exercise, not gaming. Most people that have gyms are content with exercise without an extra gimmick to make it more enjoyable. I think that the only demographic for this is the slice of Wii Fit owners that also own a yacht.

    @relatively_speaking: You got a point about that comfort thing. That seat looks like its made of hard plastic. I think I would somehow rig a banana seat onto mine and I'd slap a low-rider sticker on there.

    You have got to be fucking kid-

    Right.. right.. informed opinion.. mumblestar commentermumble

    *clears throat*

    I feel gaming is torn in two about in which direction it should be taken. The industry seems devided by motion control and periph- fuck it..

    This is just ridiculous..

    And another thing, i wanted to add the freaking clutter monster from that cartoon... i have a thing for convenient jokes/puns, can't seem to recall the name of the show though..

    Man, this is gonna drive me insane..

    @D-K, has mastered the dim-mak candlepunch:

    this thing has next to nothing to do with gaming, it about finding a use for the wii other than collecting dust since 2007.

    this is probably the smartest thing i've seen developed in awhile - although having something to attach to any exercise bike would probably be smarter.

    mom's everywhere will be buying this.

    @D-K, has mastered the dim-mak candlepunch: Why? Wtf is the point of fuming over this game. This doesn't really change anything you've previously thought of the Wii. We all know it's a system with 1238031289 peripherals. Like I keep commenting on others post. Is it really that far left-field to think a bike peripheral was coming to a console that *shocker alert* has bike games already on it and *another shocker* has Wii Fit (and plus) on it? ... chillax ... have a beer ... buy a different console.
