Hey fatso! Step AWAY from the Balance Board!
More details on the Wii Fit package from Nintendo’s press conference this week: the Wii Balance Board has a weight limit of 136kg, which roughly translates into 21 stone. That should account for a broad spectrum of the population, but if you’re morbidly obese or own a pet elephant this is not the fitness solution for you.
We’re wondering if the Balance Board will receive any - ahem - enhancements for when it’s exported to different markets. Certain nations - *cough* America *cough* - have a much higher ratio of lardasses than other countries. Without reinforced boards there’ll be hundreds of little fat kids who risk disappointment when they break it on the first attempt.
For those people without excess loads to carry, they’ll be interested to learn that the Wii Fit bundle comprises of 40 training exercises. With so much to choose from, there’s less chance you’ll get bored and stash the Balance Board under the stairs along with all the other fitness implements you’ve bought and never used. At least, that’s what Nintendo are hoping.

Okay, I don’t like looking at fat rolls either, but I found this to be rude and in bad taste. I don’t even know what to say to people like you. All of you make me sick.
