This is it, kids. The start of a new era of video gaming has begun as Nintendo has shipped Wii Fit in Japan. The 8800 yen (about $80 US) game with its custom controller, the Wii balance board, was revealed at E3 2007, with some expecting it to act as the Wii's answer to Nintendo DS-selling mega-hit Brain Age.
North American and European gamers won't have access to Wii Fit until sometime in 2008, but Japan is burning calories as we speak (or will be within hours).
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
IT'S A CHEAP WAY OF EXERCISING,NOTHING MORE,NOTHING LESS.
i wonder how much it will sell. man nintindo really is doing good with this. props for them, even though i hate the wii, i have to give respect to nintindo for saving gaming back in the day.
still nintindo wii sucks.lol
Props? For what? A fu*king exercise machine? Keep waiting for my props...
Buy your ab-swing, ab-enforcer, ab-anything... ab-wiifit.
Seriously, can it be any worse for Nintendo's Library? Sorry about Metroid, Legend Of Zelda, Zack and Wiki, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. 'Brown', but you all got owned...
If this wiifit thing really works then I might just get one to motivate my chick to go with me to the gym!
But I sure as hell hope they make a surfing, or even skating game for wii that uses that board. I'd imagine that surfing on that board would be a work out... only difference is a surfing game would be an actual game!
All Wii fit is is the Exercise mode in DDR... with a difference thing to stand on.
