Japanese TV spots for Nintendo's Wii Fit reveal fun, not just fitness. Credit: Nintendo.Granted, purging a few unwanted pounds of couch-potato podge is something that most of us would welcome considering the sedentary lifestyle that most gaming promotes, but Wii Fit yoga and aerobics might not fire the enthusiasm in a great many gamers – at least not the way the award-winning Wii Sports did.Thankfully however, Wii Fit will arrive equipped with a selection of sports-based events with which to fully utilise the pressure pad and motion control combination and all-but guarantee a boosted sense of fun as well as a boosted heart rate and metabolism.Specifically, you can look forward to indulging in a spot of ski jumping, as well as some frantic snowboard action too. There’s also some balance-based fun to be had in tightrope walking, some pavement-pounding jogging, and even a little soccer ball skill exercises too – and it’s all presented in exactly the same appealing Mii-style graphical design that first graced Wii Sports a year ago.Still not convinced? Check out these new Japanese trailer clips that do a pretty good job of showing off Wii Fit’s possibilities.
