Yesterday, Nintendo announced that the US version of Wii Fit will arrive on May 19th for the price of $89.99. So, if the game is $50, which would be way too much for a mini-game collection, that’s $40 for this bathroom scale? Do the Japanese really think us Americans are that big? I know I’ve gained a few pounds over the past year or so, but I don’t think my scale needs an extra $20 of work to hold me up.
At least, I hope it doesn’t…
Of course, Nintendo also released a statement to calm your fears in an attempt to justify their price point. If you pre-order from the Nintendo World Store in New York between April 18th and 20th and be one of the first 1,000 to do so, you get to treat yourself to a snazzy Wii-Fit t-shirt with a stamp of Shigeru Miyamoto’s signature on it. That t-shirt, by the way, is about as effective as the Sarcastic Gamer t-shirt for attracting the opposite sex.
Just in case you forgot what the Wii Fit is, here’s our Sarcastic Gamer Wii Fit promo:

Seriously, if someone gave me a Wii Fit board, I’d make one of those “I got it and smashed it” YouTube videos.
What a STUPID way to waste $100.. Anyone who buys this should spend some time at a strip bar and learn how to properly waste money.

Thank god I got my Wii for Christmas, because if I had to pay for it with my own money, I would be pissed. I expect to see Nintendo become a flash-games-only company in the near future.

if it gets nintendo fans laid then its well worth it. otherwise just fight homeless people to get in shape, its much cheaper.
