WiiFit is it! Really, it’s the only game being released in stores for any Nintendo’s systems this week. Nothing is coming out for DS at all. Are you picking up the next big thing?
Video games just can’t win. First, it was violence. Then, sex. And today? It seems as though one expert believes Wii Fit will kill it some young kids something fierce. Tam Fry of the National Obesity Forum is calling for children to be banned from Wii Fit.

Today I went ahead and took advantage of a $5 credit on my Amazon account — as well as the lack of sales tax on Internet transactions and Free Super Saver shipping — and pre-ordered Wii Fit. All the signs and portents say this thing is going to be huge, and I didn’t want to miss out while my neighbors, parents and sisters got their fitness on without me. Some game-related reporti...
