Today Microsoft presents its response to the Wii fit. Microsoft’s Xbox Live Arcade will proudly present Konami’s 1983 smash hit, Track and Field. Why spend a load of money on a Wii Fit when you can buy Track and Field for only $4 on XBLA.

While you can’t rock back and forth on a plastic scale, Track and Field will ensure carpal tunnel syndrome as you tap, tap, tap away on the A and X button to run your 8bit athlete in a variety of track and field events. Just as the Wii the graphics are far lower than today’s standards, Track and Field offers the original crappy Nintendo graphics or even an HD version of those crappy Nintendo graphics.

There is also a four player multiplayer. Now, you and three friends, can give each other’s fingers a work out from the comfort of your home. What sounds better? Wii Fit with all that leaning or Track and Field, with swollen wrist joints? You decide.
