Nintendo -- Wiipping You into Shape

Posted Jul 12th 2007 3:42PM by TMZ Staff

Nintendo's ongoing crusade to shrink the waistlines of Wii owners continues ... fat chance!

If Wii Sports wasn't helping you get your sweat on, Nintendo's latest game, Wii Fit, will surely help you work off those extra pounds. Wii Fit will come bundled with the Wii Balance Board. Players stand on the Balance Board and it measures their center of gravity, weight and Body Mass Index. The board acts as a controller for over 40 types of training activities and games included in the Wii Fit package.

Activities like aerobic exercise, yoga poses, muscle conditioning, ski jumping, soccer and dancing will get you into into shape faster than you can say, "Now you're playing with power!" Unfortunately, a launch date hasn't been set.

Now you have no excuse for not getting in shape, and Bai Ling will have no excuse for her dancing.

1. Not such a bad idea, just keep the controller from crashing into the TV.

2. I can't wait for this. My husband lost a belt size in the last month playing the Wii Sports Boxing 3 times a week and my arms have never been more toned since I started playing with it. I don't care how much it costs, this will be added to my collection!

8. This is the best thing ever! Finally a video game that, if you want to be fit, allows u to play and work out. Obviously the purpose of this game package is to work out.. therefore figuring out how to do it while seated on the couch completely defeats the purpose, right?

Hopefully this will help with the growing youth obesity epidemic.. "u wanna play video games?? sure, make sure u drink plenty of water though honey."

9. I am so getting one of these!!! It looks like a load of fun. Is there a weight limit? The whole time I was watching that I was thinking of some 300 pound chick trying to get her fitness on.
