Wii Fit & Wii Shortages

Posted on Friday, Jul 13, 2007 at 10:39 AM in ,

Gizmodo has a short video demonstrating Nintendo's Wii Fit, which uses the Balance Board accessory.  It seems like a neat little gimmick, and for some folks maybe a good motivation to get more exercise.  I wonder if the soccer heading mini-game would actually improve my game.  Not that getting a Wii will be any easier for the foreseeable future, the NY TImes reports that the president of Nintendo America expects shortages through the holiday season.

It's funny. I was interested in a Wii at launch, much more so than the other consoles, but not
interested enough to camp out in line for one. I figured I could just wait and get one when the
hullaballoo died down. Well, that was a mistake. I check periodically in stores and online and
I've never, ever found a Wii in stock. The irony is that at some point in this waiting period
my interest switch flipped. I just don't care anymore if I get one or not. I may still pick one
up some day. But for now the incredible shortages have put me off pretty effectively...
