E3 Wii: WiiFit - Image 1


Where Wii Sports took exergaming, Nintendo's Wii Fit wants to take to the next level. The E3 Media and Business Summit brings word of Wii Fit, a new fitness training program for the Wii that hopes to bring family-friendly fitness fun to gamers around the world.

Wii Fit allows gamers of all shapes and sizes to get the benefits of a fun weight loss program with all sorts of activities to do. Combine that with a new controller accessory, the Wii Balance Board, and you can get yourself a workout through active gaming. The Wii Balance Board helps the game determine if you're doing a certain activity right. If you're trying to do a yoga position, for example, the Balance Board will help determine if you're balancing yourself properly while doing so.

Wii Fit is comprised of over 40 different fitness activities, from aerobic exercise routines to yoga poses, all of which use the Wii Balance Board to complete. More importantly, you can also track your daily progress by using Wii Fit to take tests of your Wii Fitness Age and your Body Mass Index.

In any case, you can find out more about the Wii Fit by watching the video we have below, as well as taking a look at the screenshots. Enjoy!

Play Kinetic, that way you can actually get a game out of it rather than just imitate something on screen and have to be holding the Wiimote while you exercise. The data and charts look pretty good though.

Nintendo only does those games so you can test the potential of their controllers.

We can all agree now that their controllers are working great, the movement detector are pretty precise and this one is just to help you out to test the new controller. See it as the crappy eyetoy game that came with the eyetoy. Still, eventually migt use this pad, I hope for good use (Still not sure what they could do with it...)

YET ANOTHER *****ING CONTROLLER ATTACHMENT

 » History is circular
Reminds me of the Joyboard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyboard that spawned the "Guru Meditation Error" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Meditation on the early Amigas. Obviously, this is a much more advanced controller, but similar idea. It will be interesting to see what it is used for in games in a few years as new ideas for it's application are explored.
