This fitness game weighs you, calculates your Body Mass Index, and gives you stretching, yoga, aerobic, and balance exercises, as well as a bunch of minigames that incorporate the same physical skills, in an effort to help gamers get healthy. You play it using the included Balance Board scale-cum-controller, starting off with a limited number of easy exercises. Over time -- and regular daily workouts -- you'll unlock more variety and levels of physical challenge. Each day as you complete your workout, the game tracks and graphs your physical progress -- and (as thousands of chubby gamers can only hope) weight loss, reduced BMI, and generally improved physical well-being will result".
This hardcore gamer grandma has put nearly 4,000 days into Wii Fit!
The NPD Group has revealed the top 10 best-selling exclusives in the U.S. since 1995, and Nintendo holds all 10 spots.
Nintendo has always had the most mass appeal, my Mother would play Mario.
There's landslides and then there's this. Wouldn't be surprised if the top 50 was mostly Nintendo games.
VGChartz's William D'Angelo: "Today we take a look at the top 10 best-selling games for yet another platform. Up to this point we have looked at the original PlayStation, the Nintendo 64, the PlayStation 2, the original Xbox, the GameCube, the Nintendo DS, and the PSP. This week it's the turn of Nintendo's most popular home console, the Wii.
The Wii is the fifth best-selling video game platform in history and the third best-selling home console in gaming history. It is also the best-selling home console not released by Sony. It sold 101.18 million units lifetime."
Just like the DS list, every game on the Wii's list has sold over 10 million. Not even PS1 and PS2 did that. That's very incredible
