Current TV on the Wii Fit phenomenon

by JC Fletcher { Jun 8th 2008 at 12:00PM }

Current TV's Wii Fit Tech Report does an admirable job of encapsulating the media coverage of Nintendo's hit exercise program. From "will it sell?" right to "oh, look, it sold out!" and from "it called a kid fat!" to "look at that girl doing the Hula Hoop game!"

Ben Hoffman's supremely mellow delivery makes this review worth watching even if you already have (or already decided not to get) Wii Fit. In fact, we suggest watching this for lulz rather than a critical overview of the efficacy of Wii Fit. It features some borderline NSFW language -- consider yourself warned if you're at W.

Hahaha. that's how everybody should review their games instead of "This game is bad because it doesn't have version 5.67.75.65. graphical emulator and doesn't contain my favourite character ghlafbly otluahtbides who won the 14th in the ogo grampdo olympics" yeah ok maybe not but you catch my drift, they should al be more laid back like the dude above.. actually not that laid back.

Yes I am highly aware of my post not making sense :)

"Nintendo's hit exercise program"

That sentence is just one click of the delete button away from being the truth, hehe :-)

LMAO that guy is hilarious!! The DUI test HAHAHHA.

I'm pretty sure this will end up the same thing as that brain game on the DS; everyone is gonna make their own exercise game and that will be make up most of the softwares.

Wii Fit is still sold out here everywhere but I got mine when I was not even looking. I was getting my pre-order of MGS4. This is a good year for videogames. MarioKart, Wii Fit, GTA4, MGS4, and soon to come Gears of War 2; DAMN
