Tiger1962 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 If so, do you like it? Regret the purchase? I'm amazed at all the stuff this thing can do and I'm thinking about getting one.

Patrick Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Yes, I have one. No, don't regret it at all. I think it'd be hard to regret getting any of the 3 consoles... unless you just didn't like video games, in which case you wouldn't get one, anyway.

Tiger1962 Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Do you have the Wii Fit? That's the main reason I'm looking to get it.

DWx Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 We've got a Wii.. but we didn't buy it (won it in a competition ). Love it and would have bought one in any case.

KarateEd Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I don't own a Wii but have played one on occasion. I was surprised, when playing Wii tennis, that the arm movements needed to strike the ball were similar to actual tennis. A friend of mine has the Fit and enjoys it.

Patrick Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 No, I don't have Wii Fit, sorry. Looks cool, though.

bushido_man96 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I would like to have one. I thought I might have had my wife talked into one at one point. Not yet, though. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solar_kid Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I have a wii and a wii fit. I love both. I just got the wii fit -- nobody seems fto have them in stock -- so it took some work to find one!The wii fit games are cool but simple, but I also got "we ski," a skiing game using the wii fit balance board and it's been fun so far. I was kinda hoping to find something that would give me a little bit of that skiing feeling in the off-season. Not sure that it's all that much like skiing, but it is fun.With the regular wii fit games, I thought my MA training would give me good balance, and I think that's true in some ways, but I actually think that some training on the wii fit might improve my balance, because in many of the games, there is visual feedback as to where your center of balance is. Often, you have to try to put your center of balance in a particular place to work the game. For instance, in the ski jump game, you want to keep your balance centered left-to-right, but about 80% on the toes. In some of the yoga games, you want to try to keep your balance centered. In the ski slalom game, you have to move your balance left and right to ski through gates, but your front-to-back balance controls your speed. I actually thought my mom would even enjoy wii with wii fit. It's not massively, incredibly cool, but it is cool enough and enjoyable enough for me! ----Hmm. Hello. This is the floor.
