    WiiFit is part of that subgroup of exercise products whose purpose is not actually to make people fit, but rather to make fat moms feel better about themselves. It's in the same genre as those iPhone apps that give you credit for 200 calories if you cleaned the house for an hour, so that you'll feel entitled to eat an enormous piece of sweet, delicious cake.

    Maybe WiiFitPlus is better, but I still don't see how anything you can do with just a balance board will make you fit. I assume they try it for a few weeks, it accomplishes nothing, and then they throw it in a closet with all the other gimmick fitness products they bought over the years. And then they eat a piece of sweet, delicious cake. #wiifitplus

    One is more of a game, the other is well more of an exercise over a game. Pretty sure when you tell people there's exercise involved they'd do it only the x hours they want to exercise. #wiifitplus

    -San? As Iwata is his boss, why not -sama? Or is it because they are equal?

    @Foxstar is in love with Kotaku's two Brians.:

    Equality of respect, not necessarily because Iwata is Miya's boss. -sama is really only used for really formal stuff, or in places where the person is truly above you (i.e., you'd only call your boss -sama in say a formal Shinto or Buddhist ritual, but the Emperor is always -sama). #shigerumiyamoto

    We accept this because he gave us Mario. But if anyone else knew an old man who fancied walking around with a tape measurer to find out how much longer a cat is when its tail is pulled straight than when it is curled up, we'd say, "oh you poor man," and put him in a home.

    ...

    Either way, I'm waiting for his next idea as much as anyone else. <3

    I'd thought it had something to do with cute cats, but measuring things is quite... unique as well.

    It doesn't show one bit, but my last name is very Chinese. It's confusing. My mom is white and my dad is from Jamaica but his grandparents have a Chinese background.
    Eh, I guess that explains why I like video games so much.

    I have no idea why the Americans have this assumption. I'm pure Asian and I'm close to 6. Beside, I think the average difference between the two ethnic groups is merely 0.3 inches.
