Japan Craze for Wii Fit

I’ll update this as I go. Supposedly shipments for the game were anywhere from 120k-300k. Not becuase there was lack of demand but simply that Nintendo wasn’t able to produce enough. Meaning there are reports of sellouts. Here’s one pick of people lined up to get Wii Fit:

Even got the media out there eh.

Ha, that’s guy’s fingernail is way overcut.

Well you know them Japanese haha.

Here’s someone opening it up:

I can’t wait to get my hands in this game. Where did you get this from anyways?

Why did they get it so early, damn them!

Neogaf. We aren’t to diversified here in cultures so have to go elsewhere to find all this.

Rated A for adults only.
yes, I know it’s the equivalent of ESRB’s E

Early reports:

According to posters at GAF, there was a HUGE line at Yodobashi Kichijoji where people took voucher numbers and eventually sold out.

At Shinjuku West Bic Camera, alot of people again. Some people buying a Wii with Wiifit (older people).

There were tons of copies of WiiFit in stock (Maybe because Shinjuku isa flagship store for Bic)

As for impressions, each section of the game, Muscle, Yoga, Cardio, Balance has 9 games, 4 of which you can play from the start.

Skiing is hard. Ski Jump is really fun. The Balance Board works flawlessly!

Also you give the game a password so no one can access your information. You can also set a goal (Lose this many pounds in this many weeks)

You can also set to GAIN weight apparently and play the muscle building games.

The Japanese version has a weight limit of 300 pounds.

Yep haha. Oh wonderful sarcasm.

^bet they increase that for the North American release.

Heh.

Yep they will. Even funnier notice the people buying Wii Fit in Japan. Skinny people. I can only imagine what the people will look like in America when they are getting this game haha.

lol.

Oh I have a question btw, say, on multiplayer games, you’ll need to buy more than just one board, how mcuh do they sell for separately? Or do they even sell them separately at al lol?

I really have no idea. That sounds like a question for Wikipedia.

I will have this shit pre ordered on day one, I cant wait!!!!

I don’t need a game to tell me to exercise. I do that on my own.

But sounds like fun. Something you can buy and go back to even in 5 years.

Haruhi demands you join Anime United!

I still don’t see the big deal about Wii Fit... I definitely won’t be buying it.

Rise of Shinra

Cid, lets make a scenario you’ll understand.

Nintendo makes a Final Fantasy game and it uses the board

Or, a Zelda game in which, like in Zelda TP, you ride that spinning wheel thing, and instead of using the nunchuck, you use the board.

Seriously now.

There are endless possibilities for the game to be used and applied (adapted) on games to come.
