Game Revolution writes: "Rhythm games - especially Rock Band - have been a real space killer, but Nintendo's also been doing its level best to keep our entertainment areas crowded with as many pieces of white molded plastic as possible: Wii remotes, nunchucks, the zapper, the wheel, and now the balance board. Wii Fit is not just Nintendo's way of continuing to "expand the market," but it's also a vehicle for moving its latest peripheral into our homes.
Wii Fit is barely a game. It's a fitness tracker, an exercise regime, and a posture improvement program. The title includes three primary activity types: yoga, strength training, and aerobics, and each of the activity types is further divided into individual exercises. The very few actual "games" it includes aren't what will draw people to the title, and they're not compelling enough to keep folks around. Instead, Wii Fit will live and die by its fitness activities, and luckily, this is where Wii Fit shines… or maybe just glistens with sweat."
+ Excellent stats menus
+ Great individual exercises
+ Sure to get people off the couch
- …for a couple of weeks
- No way to combine exercises
- Underdeveloped aerobics routines
- Another over-ambitious, under-delivering Nintendo peripheral
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.
And the #1 game on this list is also the #1 game (and accessory) to be found at the local goodwill.
Take a look at the 50 best selling games of all time https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
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
