5 Things That Should've Been at E3 But Weren't

Thumbnail While Nintendo didn't fail to come through with a new piece of potentially gimmicky hardware (notice they didn't even have a game to go with it, and Miyamoto himself was vague on WTF it's for), Wii Fit Plus is the same old Wii Fit from a hardware perspective. We hoped a Wii Fit Plus would come wi...

Nintendo Points the Way to E3 with Trademarks 'Wii Fit Plus' and 'Art Academy'

Thumbnail Wii Fit Plus' sounds obvious enough to us. A sequel or expansion for Wii Fit, we'd love a bigger balance board to support normal pushups...but chances are that this hardware is too profitable to be pulled from standardization.

QOTD: Do You Still Play the Wii?

Thumbnail In just a few weeks, we can almost guarantee that the wires will be filled with one story again: Wii shortages.

Wii Wheel and Wii Fit Board Combined to Make Racing SimulatorVideo included in this story.  Click to view.

If you've already got a Wii Wheel and a Wii fit but are too cheap to buy an actual racing wheel with pedals, Nintendo Wii Fanboy has a good way to combine the two to accomplish kinda the same thing.

Opinion: Weak, Flabby Dollar Creating Wii Fit Shortage, Could Probably Use Some Time On Wii Fit

Thumbnail Now, before you go stringing up Nintendo, or do something really rash, like buy a PS3, consider the words of video game journalist go-to guy Michael Pachter. "The shortage demonstrates one consequence of the weak dollar. We're seeing companies ignore their largest market simply because...

Wii Fit Review By a Formerly Fit Geek

Thumbnail Balance games are parlor games that encourage you to develop dynamic control in shifting your body weight. One game had me smashing soccer balls with my head while dodging cleats (hated it) but the best were the ski jumps, slalom and snowboarding emulators. (I could play those all day.)

Atari's Family Trainer Is Wii Fit Meets NES Power Pad Meets DDR

Thumbnail Atari isn't going to let Nintendo hog all the video game fitness money, as evidenced by the announcement of Family Trainer for the Wii. It's pretty similar to Wii Fit in that people stand on it and do activities, but it doesn't weigh you and actually has pads for you to jump or step on. No price ye...

Wii Fit Mat Soaks Up Non-existent Sweat From Wii Fit Workout

Thumbnail Our colleagues from Kotaku have played with the Wii Fit balance accessory for the Wii and give it a unanimous "hate it," but we still have high hopes for the thing.

Nintendo Year-End Report Card: A-

Thumbnail So here's how Nintendo did. Sales are phenomenal for both the Wii and DS, even while features were fairly few and far between. Sure, it announced DS Demo downloads and a upcoming developer channel for homebrew-ish games, but they aren't here now. And speaking of games, once you get past the fi...
