You may recall the mini article WiiFitChat.com wrote about Rocket Company's Wii Exercise, a title that is set to offer a more physically exhausting workout than Wii Fit, thanks to an emphasis on shadow boxing, sit-ups and push-ups.
Originally planned for a release in Japan this summer, Wii Fit Chat's correspondence with the firm suggests that this may now not happen. Rocket Company's Hiroyuki Hashida explained that development of Wii Exercise was still in "an early stage" and was reluctant to reveal any further details about the exer-gaming title.

The way Nintendo's advertising for Wii Fit has been, it's clear that the firm has been, in the main, focusing its attention on luring women to the charms of its new title.
To see if they'd succeeded, Florida's Orange County Register invited a group of Mom-bloggers to their offices, reports WiiFitChat.com, and gave them some playtime with Wii Fit. Whilst a few of them enjoyed the experience, the majority came away feeling disappointed.
Referring to Wii Fit's developers, Jenny Angelici stated that Nintendo "don't know what girls want. They don't know what girls like."

1Up writes: When legendary Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto introduced Wii Fit at last year's Electronic Entertainment Expo, you could almost hear the collective clatter of a million gamers furiously pounding out epitaphs to their favorite hobby. Here was the inventor of Mario and Zelda completely ignoring his brilliant work in progress, Super Mario Galaxy, in order to talk about what appeared to be a glorified bathroom scale. Wii Fit, hardcore gamers proclaimed, would be the death of videogames.» Read More

CNET: Your relative's birthday is coming up soon, and you want to treat them to a brand new videogames console to mark the occassion, but which of 'the big three' (Nintendo Wii, Sony PS3 or Microsoft Xbox 360) should you plump for?

Kotaku writes: "I said it before, and I will say it again...I need to start attending more daytime talk show tapings. In case you have trouble getting your hands on a copy of Wii Fit today, feel free to direct your blame to Ellen Degeneres, who today gave out not only the sought after fitness device but a Wii to play it on to everyone in her stupid, stupid studio audience. Not only that, but they also received an Indiana Jones DVD 3-pack and the entire run of Sex In The City. Now I'm really jealous."» Read More

With the release Monday of Wii Fit, the exercise game that some video game analysts have predicted could become one of the best-selling titles of all time, it was Nintendo's turn to dominate headlines related to the so-called next generation of consoles.
The "next-gen" era began in November 2005 when Microsoft launched its Xbox 360 and then really kicked into gear a year later when Sony and Nintendo pulled back the wraps on the PlayStation 3 and Wii, respectively.
Sony's PlayStation 3 was expected to be the next-gen winner, especially with a built-in Blu-ray player and incredible graphics courtesy of its Cell processor. Yet, the PS3 is generally seen as next-gen's loser, due to high prices, the resulting lackluster sales, and the perception of a paucity of killer games for the platform.

Nintendo has slightly delayed this week's release of Wii Fit, nudging the title from two days past its announced debut on Monday, May 19.
Though Nintendo launched the game at New York's Nintendo World Store yesterday (pictured left), the rest of the North America has to wait until Wednesday, May 21, to get its hands and feet on the $89.99 fitness game and its weight-sensitive balance board.
No reason was provided for the delay, though Shacknews can confirm that many retailers already have the much-anticipated fitness title sitting in their backrooms.

Gamespot writes: "At the 2008 Game Developers Conference in February, Nintendo announced that Wii Fit would launch on May 19. The Japanese game giant's proclamation led many gamers, technophiles, and health enthusiasts to mark their calendars under the assumption they could get their hands on the $90 balance-board based, exercise-centric title on the third Monday of the month.
However, confusion began to erupt when Nintendo's nationwide advertising campaign for Wii Fit began touting the game as going on sale on Wednesday, May 21. When queried by GameSpot last week, a representative for Nintendo of America insisted the game would go on sale on May 19. "It may take a few days for shipments to reach every part of the country and the ads you saw may have considered that," said the rep."

The big question about Wii Fit is whether it is a game or not; an exercise program or not... or could it be, as one expert states, the start of a critical intervention to get the sedentary masses up and moving - for it to become as accepted a fixture in gyms as the treadmill or rowing machine.» Read More

Video games have always seduced us with fantasy. Whether you play a carjacker in Grand Theft Auto or a mad scientist in The Sims, you can forget your worries as you plot your path to glory. So it may seem odd that the very first thing you do in Wii Fit, an unconventional new game that goes on sale for $90 in the U.S. on May 19, is step on a scale and weigh yourself. I don't know about you, but weighing in each morning is not my idea of a good time. And it's certainly no fantasy.» Read More
