Wii just want to have fun

Ugh. Sometimes you game designers are so blind it's funny. But it's not funny.

The Wii fit is a forward-looking tool for 3D immersive gaming. And girls do, in fact, like to play videogames! [We've been proving that over and over again in sales and surveys for the past few years!]

Want to know what to do with the Wii fit? Here's a couple ideas:

Dancing with the stars


Fencing


Kickboxing


...

Here's the thing: We actually want to PLAY GAMES, so don't leave out the fun part! Martial arts is awesome, but not if you're in a Wii-white room - engage us with a narrative and a purpose. Fencing could be incredible, but put us in armor and set us on a quest against the Red Knight and we'll be a lot more into it.

And the other thing: Nintendo, you really need to work on the board - it's gotta be thinner. A max of 1/2 inch off the ground or its real promise will never be realized because everyone will be tripping over it. Stubbed toes really break immersion.
