Computer and Video Games (dot com) has a preview of Wii Fit up giving you some insight into a few of the various modes the game will offer. I’m wagering that Wii Fit will be one of the next big things for the casual gamer market just as Metroid Prime 3 will be the next big thing for the more hard core gamers. We’re looking forward to it here at the Wii Living Clubhouse, especially after reading this preview.
Check the quote below then follow the link for the whole write up:
We played a yoga game that had you stand balanced in a range of different positions, following the motions of an on-screen character, and it challenges you to hold these positions for a set amount of time while it records your balance data, from which it will give you a score.
This was the more fitness-related half of the demo version we played, although the full game will have many more exercises, as shown in previously released media. There are also numerous balance testing games - one game having you lean your body slowly in different directions to keep a dot in a specified moving zone. It’s harder than it sounds.
But Wii Fit has a more colourful, fun-focused side to it as well. If you’re not into all that fitness lark (like us), or just aren’t a bit round around the middle (also like us), then you’ll be far more interested in the party-style games on offer.
The first we tried was the football heading mini game that Nintendo head honcho Reggie played during Nintendo’s pre-E3 2007 media conference. This is where Wii Fit starts to look and feel more like Wii Sports.
You control a character who’s standing in front of a goal, and balls are kicked your way which you must hit with your ‘head’ by leaning your weight left and right. You get a point for hitting the balls, but lose them for nutting any other projectile hurled your way, like football boots or panda heads (?).
