Default Cool game coming out for the Wii

It's called Wii Fit. It comes with a balance board and you do aerobics, yoga, muscle stretches and games and it keeps track of your fitness, BMI, etc. It comes out May 21st.

I've heard Wii really doesn't exist, but is really just Nintendo's toned-down interpretation of Well's War of the Worlds - Halloween 1938 radio version directed by Orson Welles.

It's probably true, as both have cause mass hysteria amongst the public.

I'd be willing to bet they end up selling about 4 copies of that game.

Good marketing move by Nintendo, though. That way when everyone's griping about fat kids playing video games too much, they can claim they tried to help.

Most places in the UK are already sold out just on pre-orders for the April 25th release there.

And Amazon.com is limiting order to a max of 3 per customer in anticipation of a high volume of sales. It has sold 1.4 million copies in Japan in 5 months.

It will be interesting to see how it sells in the US.
