This is redicoulous. What's next Wii music? I mean the Wii is great and all but Wii fit's a flooormat. Is it even really a game? It also seems strange do to the fact 12 people got injured (I heard 27 got injured now) Why would people want to use a balance board if they know there is a 76% chance of getting hurt?

76%? 27 out of the thousands if not millions of people who own it is not 76%.

Quote:Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

What the fuck, just because both Mario and Sonic are in the game it sells shit loads.. How is that still up there. And Club Penguin? What the hell. Mario Kart Wii is still up there, what happened to Smash Bros? Lol..

Edit: 500 Nice. xD

Its unsusual for a news paper to say 4 people got injured. If a device has hurt over 20 than it is about a 76% chance. It's unsusual.

How is it even possible to slip on the mat? You'd have to be drunk or a klutz. By the way, did any of these accidents occur when someone played one of those games that uses their ass? I'd pay just to see that.

I have a Wii Fit. Yes, there are actual games on there. It's fucking competitive, man. And the longer you play, the more you unlock.

Also, people keep buying it because they go to a friend's house and play it, then want one themselves.

god fucking damn it i want professor layton and the curious village already.

That makes absolutely no sense. You can't base the chance of something happening off of the unusuality of it. Nor can you base it off of one newspaper article, which provides only one example of getting hurt, as opposed to all the examples of not getting hurt.

Also, you can't make a percentage off of someone getting hurt. A person's likelyhood to get hurt is subjective; its based off his or her own stupidity and clumsiness, as well as the danger of the situation. Standing on a hunk of plastic isn't a very dangerous situation.

Also, your arithmetic is wrong. 4 out of 20 is 20%, not 76%.

I'm discluding the chinese. Also, Wii fit is a simulator nd f discussion. It also is apparently potentialy dangerous.

Everything is potentially dangerous if you're too stupid to use it correctly. Trauma Center is a 'simulator' (with links to the actual task just as extraneous as Wii Fit), and that game is fucking awesome. You have no valid argument.

The arguement is that Wiifit should not be at the top and Smash Bros. should.

...Not really.

You have no sway over what other people want to play, and Smash Bros. (singleplayer and online) lifespan isn't especially long. I don't have Wii Fit yet (I can't afford the peripheral), but I can see how it would have a much wider appeal and a longer lifespan.

You still don't have a valid argument. Have you tried to think this through at all?

It's a valid arguement because we are argueing. And what is sway?

*sigh*
An argument where one party doesn't have a point is merely a 'correction'.

To have sway over someone means 'to have influence' over them. A good vocabulary is required for competent rhetoric.

multiplayer is where smash bros' lifespan lies, and it still is going strong

most times where i'm chilling with friends, and even my girlfriend, it always turns into "hey wanna play smash instead?"

I'm no tourneytard, it's just...well, I guess Sakurai did something right? :I

my mum bought a wiifit to lose weight and everyone in my family plays it
