So what happens when skinny Japanese people play this game? Do they disappear?

Andy787 · (12-01-2007, 01:10 AM)

Behold! The ruination of gaming, in real-time, right in front of our very eyes, gentlemen!

Kosma · (12-01-2007, 01:10 AM)

So that's how those casuals look like.

I don't think Japan has that many overweight people. I can't remember seeing one besides sumo wrestlers.

Sounds like some people don't know the difference between fit and fat.

disappeared · (12-01-2007, 01:11 AM)

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but with people standing in line, waiting for Wii Fit.

Grecco · (12-01-2007, 01:11 AM)

Two months till US release. Cant wait

speedpop · (12-01-2007, 01:12 AM)

Give us some impressions Jonny.

Hcoregamer00 · (12-01-2007, 01:12 AM)

I went into this thread expecting "OMG TEH DOOM"

NeoGAF doesn't fail

Hopefully they make a Ninja Warrior verison with pull up bar.

They don't have hoverboards to get to the train station and back yet! That's a lot of exercise and keeps people in shape over there!

As others have said, Japan isn't exactly full of fat people.

Now wait for pictures of it hittings stores in Okinawa and you'll find more.

Or just wait for it to hit America. Oh boy.

Not much. From everything we've seen from Wii Fit, it's not likely to lose you much if any weight. It seems designed to aid a moderate increase in aerobic fitness but nothing more.

Troidal · (12-01-2007, 01:13 AM)

Yep, the beginning of the end.

Jeff fired, WiiFit....these are dark days for gaming.

But on the bright side, Jeff has time to use this thing, gain 60pounds of muscle and slay those that have betrayed him.

I just had an idea for an Ad.

Fat Santa comes in surfing on the wii fit board, doing the exercises while riding the deers, then he walks in the house, says no to the cookies, bad for your health, then suddenly the whole family starts wiifiting with Santa, the asmatic kid, the fat dad, the smoker mom, then you get small cust of the day after, the kid winning the 200 mt, the Dad has muscles and is carrying this huge christmas three under one arm, the mother is passing all the medical tests and no longer smokes.

Damn. I'm a genius

Maybe...I'm not sure but, don't you think this is going a little bit too far ? I mean, this childish complaint ?

sphinx · (12-01-2007, 01:17 AM)

So when is gaming officially dead? when we get the next media create numbers?

I am preparing a nice Flower bouquet with pics of Zelda, Bioshock and Final Fantasy XIII. I'll put it beside my 360.

puebla · (12-01-2007, 01:17 AM)

Heh I could agree but I got over the doom and gloom posts about Wii Fit. I just figure everyone is being sarcastic and if they're not then boo fucking hoo to them.

Y2Kev · (12-01-2007, 01:19 AM)

Looks awesome. Releases are almost always exciting looking in Japan.

...i mean resistance: fall of gaming on ps3 this fall

ksamedi · (12-01-2007, 01:19 AM)

It would be great if they used Nicole Kidman again for the WiiFit commercials.
