If you read this blog, you know I like my Wii. But one of the main reasons I bought it was for Wii Fit, now targeted for release in May. The interviews with its creators reveals that it ships with skiing and snowboarding games, which I was hoping they’d have for it soon. Those have always been some of my favorite things to do in an arcade (video clips are embedded in the interviews). There’s a third party game called We Ski also coming out this spring, but I’ll probably just stick to the Wii Fit first. Also interesting to find out is the shape of the Wii Balance Board is based on its origin of two scales mushed together (based on the idea that sumo wrestlers weigh themselves with two). There’s also a hula hoop game and a jogging game you can play while watching TV.
