We are slated to get the Wii Fit next week! I know it's a little weird, but my husband had a chance to try it and he thought it was awesome. I am looking forward to it! This is the kind of bizarre, strange innovation that I enjoy in my platforms.

The press release promised that I'd see "Hundreds of consumers of all ages twisting and tilting their bodies atop the innovative Wii Balance Board."

This makes perfect sense. While Wii Fit is a game, in that it's a software program released on a game console, and it has some distinctly game-like elements (unlocking new exercises, etc.), in practice, it's much more a piece of fitness equipment (however low impact) than it is a piece of entertainment software.

Quote: "The blogger of the enthusiastically-named "Wii Fit is It" blog (is Coke not it anymore? ) apparently works for a very progressive company. His workplace provides each employee a $150 allowance for exercise equipment or services. Instead of getting a gym membership or a Gazelle Edge (sorry, BallyTotalFitnessFanboy.com and TonyLittleFanboy.com), he got a copy of Wii Fit.

Last year's E3 launched such hits as "Wii Fit," "Grand Theft Auto IV" and "Rock Band". I wonder what this year will bring?

Quote: "(CNN) -- Bloggers can't stop gossiping. Readers can't stop guessing. Now, after months of waiting, three big names will finally address the rumors.
Nintendo's Wii Fit was a big hit at last year's E3. What surprises will next week's show bring?
No, not Madonna, A-Rod, or Lenny Kravitz, but another big-name trio with just as much swirling drama: Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony.

Overall, I'm quite happy. Especially from the Final Fantasy portion. However, I am quite disappointed that the Halo milking/cheesing/aging process wasn't announced. :/

First up was a demo of Fallout 3 that didn't expose anything new other than black and white propaganda commercials. It's super gory, looks freakin' amazing and was said to come loaded with future DLC plans. Bethesda was actually quite excited about the great amount of planned DLC. Hope you like paying for extra content!

Look, I acknowledge Miyamoto is a genius when it comes to game design; however, banning him from discussing his hobbies to prevent the leakage of billion dollar game ideas is crazy?! GEEEZ MAN!!! But Seriously, I doubt anything Miyamoto say is going to be worth billions right off the bat, it takes time and investment to make bathroom scales...

Someone had to do an article like this. It's good for a laugh.

Quote: "The day Ron Jeremy played Hornio in the 1993 Nintendo porn spoof Super Hornio Bros. was the day video games got a little bit sexier and a whole lot more weird.Since then, there have been a number of games adaptations turned into pornos, including Whorelore's Whorecraft and Rage of Bonan. Heck,recently ran a list of their top gaming porno picks, which even featured Wii Fit yoga porn. Who knew porn stars were that bendy?

I love articles like this. I think it is weak that some of the games mentioned are not released in the US.

Quote: "With Halloween around the corner, a handful of horrifying games are being prepped to leave their pants-wetting-induced mark on your couch this fall. Some of the titles listed don't yet have US release dates (The Last Guy, Ghostbusters, Fatal Frame), but we're confident they'll be hitting our shores sooner rather than later. And like any great horror game, the ones listed below require you to rely on your noggin (and a small arsenal) to make it through in one piece.

SSBB sold five an a half million? Geez. The game was alright, but the online implementation was so phenomenally awful that it boggled the mind. I guess Nintendo's right - people just don't care. Pathetic.
