Comments on: Nintendo Announces Wii Fit: Step Pad To Get Healthy http://www.demyen.ca/blog/?p=313 School, Technology, and Life Fri, 03 Sep 2010 06:42:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Matthew Demyen http://www.demyen.ca/blog/?p=313&cpage=1#comment-9802 Matthew Demyen Wed, 11 Jul 2007 22:28:54 +0000 http://www.demyen.ca/blog/?p=313#comment-9802 The gamers are fat comment was sarcasm. It was meant to reflect on the fact that Nintendo has been getting away from making good action games and making more quirky games and now it seems exercise games. For right now, the gimmick is selling but I don't know how long it is going to last. Nintendo will probably sell a few systems to people wanting to exercise, but for the price of a Wii, those people can get a lot better use for their exercise dollars (especially if they don't play other video games). I think that most people out there with Wii's will probably buy the game use it for a couple weeks and move on to something new. Our society has zero patience to wait for results, if it doesn't come instantly and easy they will move on / give up. The gamers are fat comment was sarcasm.

Just because Nintendo makes a “healthier" game, people are not going to stop playing video games and start playing sports! Where is the study on that? People who like games like games. I think whether they are fat or not they are going to play. They probably aren’t going to loose 5 lbs on the Wii and go I’M OUT OF HERE LET’S DO FOOTBALL. Save the hysteria. Nintendo isn’t going to lose customers lol. In fact, you might even have people who buy the system specially for this game/workout when they wouldn’t have before….. P.S. That gamers are fat comment is just stupid. Damn you know what they say about assumptions.... That isn’t logical.
