Wii Erobics and Wii Diet = Nintendo Health Training

With Nintendo reportedly doing a Wii Diet Game of sorts, its only a matter of time, that Wii (A)erobics will follow. I think it even goes hand in hand with Wii Diet. The idea basically for Wii (A)erobics is that you hold a pair of Wiimote, one for each hand, that simulates a pair of dumbells, you follow on screen movements of course to the tune of dance (A)erobics music , twitching the wiimote to the desired angle, much like dance dance revolution, instead of directional arrows, its angular position of the wiimote that simulates the dumbells, and another group of non-gamers will be added to Nintendo.

'Erobics'... Can I be blamed for reading that as Erotics?

I'd forgive you but you spelt it incorrectly four times.

Anyway, on topic, it sounds like a great idea. Maybe they'll do some dumbbell shell adapters? Having positional data means that the 'game' can motivate you if you slack off.

For some reason others spelled it as such, much like some British English to American English things. Here a site as a example

which gives me another idea for a Wii Game. Wii Martial Arts.

Imagine doing a Kata Dance with a Wiimote to the tune of Traditional Japanese percussion music. The list now goes on and on. Wii Taebo, Wii Boxing, Wii Teakwondo,
Wii Aikido ......

Speaking of which, I know Nintendo would never do it ... but I think "erotica" software would be a huge hit on the system, especailly if it's priced cheaply.

Wii Diet gets to join such prestigious non-games as Yourself! Fitness and EyeToy Kinetic. Innovation wins again.

I think I'm going to have to turn off the lights and lock the door when playing the Wii. I just get this vibe that the people playing these games are going to look like complete morons with all the movements and what-not. (See DDR)

I know GAFfers are very creative, will someone create a Home TV Shopping Ad for the Wii, using the Aerobics theme, who do you think is going to be the perfect model for this type of thing ? Richard Simmons ?
