Hey Fatty, Hit The Treadmill Before You Wii

So it seems that Mr. Deleon over at Gizmodo never realized that gamers were out of shape. I mean, gamers out of shape? Heaven forfend! Since the Wii launched a little over a week ago, gamers have been reporting that they are indeed exhausted and famished from playing the Wii too much. Some chick said it was “harder than playing basketball” and others whined about sore muscles.

Know what Nintendo had to say about it? “If people are finding themselves sore, they may need to exercise more.” That’s right! Props to Nintendo for telling gamers to get their ass off the couch, their mouth off the bong, and their feet out the door to the nearest gym. You’re telling me you can slash apart enemies in Zelda, but can’t do 10 bicep curls? Maybe Nintendo should take a hint from the smash hit company Xavix and incorporate even more exercise into games.

Seems like gamers (and more likely their significant others) would think of this as a plus!

It’s inevitable that a workout game will hit the Wii.

I have to believe that the weight-issue/exercise was a savvy part of the design objectives. And good for Nintendo! (Although, they’ll need to refine that little snapping wrist attachment from causing further damages.)

I love to game but love the gym too. The technology just hasn’t been there to combine the two disciplines.

I’m not out of shape but I have to admit that after 4 hours of the sports games I got a little sore…but really…four hours of doing just about anything remotely physical can get tiring.

*For the record…I’m not complaining*
