Miyamoto takes stage for proper Nintendo ownage. "THe one game that I wanted to introduce to you this year is Wii Fit. When we first were thinking up the console for Wii, this is what we thought. We thought that the Wii would be a device that could be placed in the living room, and as such it needed to be relevant for everybody in the household." Also says it needed to make videogames relevant to everybody in the home. Says in order to achieve these, they needed something based on health.
Three fitness trainers are on-screen. Sharon, left stage, does a one-legged stretch. "Your control is outstanding," the game says.
There are more than 40 activities in the game. Big round of applause for the demo.
Wii balance board is the official name of the device. It can measure your weight. It also measures how your balance shifts as you stand on it. "We can also use this as a new interface for games." It's wireless and can be used anywhere in the room. You can do "body checks" on people with the device. They stand on it. "Please hold still up there," the software says. Asks players to remove heavy clothing. Asks them to relax and release the tension in their shoulders.
Outcome for Reggie, who stood on the device. Center of mavity results. Reggie tends to favor his right foot, it looks like.
The body mass index shows your daily progres and your family's progress. The development team has been tracking their own data over time, and they have gotten into a contest to see who can be the fittest the fastest.
