Wii Fit is the latest title from Nintendo that aims to expand videogames as an entertainment form.
The game utilises the Wii Balance Board for daily tests. "These evaluate two key measures that a household can track via progress charts:
- Body Mass Index (BMI): A weight evaluation based on a ratio of weight to height.
- Wii Fitness Age: The Wii Fitness Age is measured by factoring the user’s BMI reading, testing the user’s center of gravity and conducting quick balance tests.
"Wii Fit includes more than 40 types of training activities designed to appeal to all members of a household. Training falls into four fitness categories:
- Aerobic Exercise: 10-minute exercises that are designed to get the heart pumping.
- Muscle Conditioning: Controlled motions using arms, legs and other body parts.
- Yoga Poses: Classic poses that focus on balance and stretching.
- Balance Games: Fun activities, such as ski jumping and heading soccer balls, that challenge the player’s overall body balance."
Your Miis also make random appearances. For example, in the "soccer balls" balance game, your Miis will line up to kick the balls to you.
A trailer illustrating all of this can be yours after the jump.
