haha you said poop

Don't laugh. Studies have shown the "fidgeting", even while sitting, has a small but measurable improvement on people's health.

They had a smash hit with WiiSports and Miis with the casual crowd. But, now what?

I suspect they are running out of ideas to keep the hype among the causal crowd. I know a lot of casual gamers who are still only playing WiiSports months after they purchased their Wii. They're not interested in BrainAge or Wario Ware... they want more WiiSports.

The attach rates with these folks is basically ZERO.

Meanwhile, after E3, the gamer crowd has seen that Nintendo has nothing for them, nothing at all.. unless you're into Mario, Mario, Metroid 9, Pokemon Battle 17, Zelda 14, Mario, etc.. there's nothing.

that guy should lower his tv or it might impair his eyesight after playing for too long

NDF ASSEMBLE!

INCOMING!!!

:(

People are still watching Mtv? What's to watch?

People are still watching TV? Who watches TV?

the video wont paly. Says im not in the US. What kind of bullshit is that? now I gotta go change my windows settings. how lame.

Wii golf could be revolutionary (joke, get it) with the wii fit board and a wiimote. using the board to analyze the golfers body movement and the wiimote to track the user's swing. I have a PS3 and plan on getting a 360 before halo drops, but if they came out with a super realistic golf simulator I'd be there.

i think u guys are forgetting, that no matter how many casual gamers fall for nintendos trendy wii-[insert word here] gimmick, casual gamers just dont buy enough software to sustain a *home* console.

this isnt the DS, we arent talking about $120 hardware and $20-30 games.

we're talking about a $250 machine and $50 games here.

the people who bought a wii just for wii sports probably havent bought a game since, and if they did, it was more than likely wii-play.

while the attatch rate for the 360 is around 5 or 6 i think..which is insane..cuz "hardcore" gamers buy many more games and on avg spend more money on game related products than a soccer mom or a grandfather.

the wii will however get national attention for wii fit, oprah, the morning show etc will cover it, and the wii will do fine this holiday, but is that growing the industry creatively? mario party, wii-play and wii sports have all gotten so-so reviews, mostly becuase these casual games just dont pack enough punch and are relatviely light on content and/or challenge.

is this wat the industry needs? i know nintendo is banking right now but how is that benefitting the core nintendo gamer, or the industry in general?

how much money will grandma residually make for nintendo over 5 years? anywhere near the amount of moneny a hardcore gamer will?

i highly doubt it.

i think this philosophy works infinitely better on a handled platform than a home console.

wii fit is what, $60? so a causual gamer will need to cough up $310 to play with nintendos new contraption? thats no where near cheap for a person who doesnt play games frequently or has never played them at all.

im suprised nintendo fans arent more livid over this. i mean they get 3 solid titles this holiday that are getting little to no attention from nintendo, but wat after that? new franchises like project hammer and disaster get "indefinately postponed", wat is next for nintendo? are they going to come out with a new gimmick for the LIFETIME network crowd every year?

The only thing I dont like about Nintendo is that they are trying to compensate the lack of graphics with crap like the wii fit.Really Nintendo I would pay an extra 200$ bucks if you only update the Wii graphics.Those minigames look horrible,like really boring flash games and most of the wii games look PSPish.For the PSP is great but for a console that is well now more expensive than a handheld and suppose to be better is quite lame really.

Well, it certainly appeared a lot quicker than the video of the guy playing Wii Sports whilst sprawled on his couch

I still say that this game is going to be a sales coup, even if i'm not interested (unless it is sold with the Balance Board, as i feel it should be)

Honestly, this is probably the best thing to happen for Wiifit.

think about it, everyone was going "Wow, I'll look like a spaz if I have to wave my arms around like that!" but then a couple months later, they realize they don't have to.

Now people are complaining "I don't want to have to stand up to play, I want to be able to sit down an relax!" And now, roughly a week after E3, they find out you can sit down to play! Tada!

Unless you change the title of this post from whatever it is to "Wii take a shit" or just "Wii shit", then it just isn't funny. I rule so hard.

Sit on it, Potsie!

I'm sorry, but I can't take any article seriously that contains the phrase "MTV News". If Nintendo's trying to get away from their "kiddie" image then the first thing they need to do is avoid MTV like the plague.

Lol
