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
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.
No wonder Miyamoto is so craaaaaaazzy at making some awesome games ;)
I'm part Asian and I'm 6. If there is one thing I cannot stand, it is people assuming the size of my member. One day, I will get elected as a senator and whip it out, proving once and for all that not every Asian has a tiny, thin chopstick.
@maraxusofk:
Lol I'm actually part Asian to. xD
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.
@jShazBot:
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.

Miyamoto: So, can I begin work on Wii Fit 2? We can unveil it at E3 with the new Balance Board Plus!
Iwata: Yes! Absolutely!
Miyamoto: [laughs]
Iwata: [laughs, while counting money]

Well, I say it's 5 and a half inches today. Huh, not quite as long as I thought. Guess I ain't in the mood today.
10/14/09
Damn! Beat me to it!
But this is Asians we're talking about. I'd say at most, 3 and a half inches on a good day.
Yeah, that was kinda racist.

Wow, racist again lol. I just offended myself. :(
