Will on Nintendo Wii Fit: maybe called Wii Fitness in UK

By: Daniel Chubb | July 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Will made a comment on a post about the Nintendo Wii Fit and rasied some good points, also saying that it may be called the Wii Fitness in the UK.

Here is Will’s Comment:
In England, fit is actually slang for attractive, so if a young person uttered the sentence “she/he is fit” the “fit” person wouldn’t necessarily be fit in the actual meaning of the adjective. I’ve checked and I think they are renaming Wii fit to Wii Fitness, at least in Britain, probably because of this, and also because Fitness makes more sense.

And, yes the statement about the world gaining more weight is true. I know I may be, as I used to be bordering on underweight but now I’m developing a belly and a mighty hump just like my two role models, in respective order to the qualities I have similar to them: Eric Cartman and Charles Montgomery Burns. Okay, I look nothing like Cartman, unfortunately and only a little bit like Burns so I should really stop bragging about my physique. But I need to get fitter by anybody’s standard as I’ve never been competent at any form of physical sport except perhaps the artful practice of hitting one another with plastic bottles, as one does, so I’m extra pleased at the announcement of Wii Fit because it could really benefit me, just as you wrote that it could benefit you in your first post.

It could make me lose weight, gain strength and correct my posture from that Mr Burns-esque hump. All while helping my favourite company kick the shizzle out of its so-called “competitors”.

In fact, I’ve known about the Wii health pack software and its high status since the beginning of this year and I’ve been hypothesising about it since then. Well, I had to assume its high status, but for the greatest Nintendoid on the planet, it was pretty obvious from the moment I heard about it.

The only surprise that I got from the Wii Fit(ness) announcement at the Nintendo prE3ss conference is that it doesn’t use the Wii remote and Nunchuk but a new device, and its name. I found out about it in the beginning of 2007 in an obscure Miyamoto related piece of news from Japan. You see Nintendoids such as myself don’t let a ray of news go on by without pumping all of its information juice into a high energy news beverage. Or perhaps you already knew that from first hand experience of said pumping?

Also, what negative “connotations” have you inferred from my using massive amounts of stuff which is, and I quote: “impressive”?(!) I wonder exactly what the first, relatively cryptic, half of that sentence could be construed as meaning? Or perhaps it’s just my dirty mind reading too much in to things??? Could it be both? Who knows? (Hint, hint. Cough:you:end cough.)

And as you may have gathered, I am mimicking your style of posting, small paragraphs and all. Please could you tell me how to put those emotional icons you use to express your evidently happy feelings on these posts?

And if calling girls sexy is not chauvinist, then I have to tell you that I’ve been grossly misinformed about girls by these feminists! I mean, you wrote “Heh” the naughty laugh! Where’s the “emancipation” dammit?!

Also, Ari, if you are as you say you are; a female Nintendoid then I value your opinion on this: What is the best Mario Platformer? (Yoshi’s Island inclusive, as for Yoshi’s Story that game can just run away.)

Finally (starts panting) you may have noticed that I have basically addressed this post to you personally as I would guess that nobody else is still posting here. Therefore, unless this post is made into its own article and ends up being shown on Google news under a Wii Fit search like your first wonderful post was, which I doubt will happen, you’re likely to be the only person responding to this.

Although due to the unlikely-but-still-possible nature of this becoming an article itself, I must prepare for such an occurrence. Accordingly I feel obliged to type: Hi to anyone I know who is reading this! Look, I’ve found a female Nintendoid! If she’s fit (slang meaning) and there are more like her where she came from, I’m moving to the USA!
