Why the Wii Fit is Evil

[Billabong Pobblecock]

The Wii Fit must be stopped. Or at least not sold to Hard-Core Gamers. Hard-Core Gamers shouldnt be fit. Hard-Core Gamers should die of heart attacks. Hard-Core Gamers are the lemmings of society. A Hard-Core Gamer will spend several hours a day collecting golden coins in a non-exsistent fairy tale land instead of making friends, learning whats going on in the world, eating,or the all important masturbating. Do you ever stand back and watch the social skills developed in WoW or other mmorpgs. Are these really the types of people whose lives you want to extend. Do you want them to get spread their seed. If the Wii Fit is allowed out there any longer these HCG (as i will now refer to them to save me time) will blend into society perctly. They will look good and score all the ass. Its true they will still have the personality of a gnat but lets be honest, thats never mattered in the first place. The value of the dollar and the pound will drop to zero and be replaced with gil. A race of super nerds will take of the earth. Normal people with no computer knowledge will be sent to work in the tiberium mines. Turtles will roam the earth. There will be no laughter. People will just say LOL like those jackasses who actually do say LOL. AHHHHHHHH.
Im not saying everyone whos played games falls into these catagories but maybe they do. There are such things as gamers, casual gamers and board gamers. Just to name a few.

Mario hardly constitutes hardcore gaming.

Anyway, it's a well-established and widely-accepted fact that the Wii is definately not for hardcore gamers, so to say that WiiFit will extend the lives of hardcore gamers is laughable. Maybe some, but as you pointed out, it's obvious that there are exceptions to the stereotype.

Also, I hope your Hardcore-Gamer-Hate there was sarcastic, because until the Wii showed up, the market was pretty much tailored to hardcore gamers. With the Wii here, your beef with hardcore gamers should be nonexistent, considering it's done more than enough to stop you from having to rub shoulders with them (which, however, begs the question as to why you are a member here if you were serious.)

EDIT: On a slightly off-topic note, I can't wait for next week, when I'll have enough to get it finally.

EDIT2: After your edit, it would seem I have taken your post a mite too seriously. Oh well, not gonna change it now.

Actually i am a hardcore gamer. Its just when im up at this time of night i can get into rants. To prove such a point. Squirrels are controling my brain. That and Im high. And Ive been drinking. But still. FUCK NINTENDO.

 

[smallharmlesskitten]

[Spinwhiz]

Wow, and this is why gamers have a stereotype.

Wow, and this is why gamers have a stereotype.

Because of Wow?

Watch this. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB70wuweyQI] This is my argument against people-against-video-james.

And I think I may have got a post in before this was locked. ignore this and previous sentence if it doesn't get locked.

 

[Singing Gremlin]

This is certain to get locked. Surely? (yes, and stop calling me Shirley!)

I think the WiiFit is more aimed at the boundary between too lazy to go outside and occasionally enjoys the sun. Hardcore gamers are waaaay beyond that line, we're good.

Wii Fit is a ridiculous extension of this whole self-improvement business. You can't pull algebra problems and intelligence tests out of the air, so Brain Training is a nice idea. You can't make up sight and reflex tests without some proper knowledge in the field, so Sight Training is fair enough. You can, however, do yoga by buying a bloody book from your local bookshop for a tenner. You do not need a to spend £70 on a white brick that insults you. For gaming purposes, it's a nice addition to the wii remote, but buying Wii Fit to get fit is laughable.

 

[Sammich]

I doubt people will buy Wii Fit to get fit... If they do they'll probably end up being disappointed, I doubt a little white board can make you fitter. But after seeing what kind of minigames you can play with it, I'm sold. Plus, gaming can be really bad for your back and neck depending on where and how you sit, 'yoga' could help you relax those muscles before you have another gaming marathon right?
Oh dear, that sounds like a salespitch. I'm just saying that SOME hardcore gamers might actually like Wii Fit. Like me. >.>
Also I'm a sucker for gadgets and new things in gaming. ^^;
To add to the stereotype, Wii Fit could help you get a girlfriend!

 

[Spinwhiz]

Wow, and this is why gamers have a stereotype.

Because of Wow?

No silly, but you saying that only strengthens my point. lol

 

[weirdaljedifan2]

All of this is just a bunch of fanboy BULLSHIT!

Anyone who plays the Wii who is not a reviewer is an 8-year-old boy on a sugar rush.

Whatever happened to the badass, hammer-flingin' goomba stompin' COOL Mario of yesteryear? Apparently Mario wasn't "kid-friendly," (Nintendo pronounces it 'entire-audience-friendly) so they had to change him to a shrieking castrato who turns into an assortment of cutesy whatevers in an obnoxiously bright-colored atmosphere.

I noticed Nintendo pumps out an assload of horrible, uninspired games because the little kids who play them can't tell the difference between a good game and a bad one.

FUN FACT - How to spot a Wii owner: In a public place, say the word "booger" loudly. If someone laughs, they are a Wii owner.
Immature runts.

 

[BasicMojo07]

I take serious exception to people referring to Wii owners as "immature runts", and I take even more exception to the assumption that those of us who play Nintendo games are "little kids." This is for two reasons: 1) In my experience, most people making these assumptions - I said "MOST", not "ALL", for those worried about me being hypocritical - are those of us in the gaming community who play Halo 24/7 screaming the word "noob" like it was going out of style and twitching erratically because of the taurine and guarana coursing through their veins. They have never played on a Wii themselves, but would rather denounce the system and all of the games thereof based on nothing at all. 2) Also in my experience, people who make assumptions about the age and maturity of other people are still immature enough to make generalizations like that.

I noticed that there was an underlying current of irony in the original post here, for reasons discussed by posts prior to mine. But one recurring point keeps nagging at me - Nintendo is not for hardcore gamers. Let's face it, their games do keep getting lamer and lamer. They really need to make a new franchise, because with all of the repetition in their games nowadays, it's a wonder that they're still in business.

I'm most amused by the fact that there is apparently a demand for a "Wii Fit FAQ." I can only speculate as to what this would entail. "HOW DOES I PUSH-UP?" is the first that comes to mind.

Nauseating.

However, as long as we're briefly delving into the land of what the Wii needs to do and not do, where the frak is my Luigi's Mansion sequel that I was irrevocably promised with the Wii's pre-release trailer?
