Improve your fitness with Wii -- Nintendo announced "Wii Fit"

Now, watch this video:

Wow! This looks awesome!!

I will buy this. I swear.

I never imagined this scale-like thing would be a controller. This hardware is called "Balance Board".

It detects the distribution of weight and let users head a soccer ball, do push-ups, or hold the perfect yoga pose. Everybody in a family can have fun.

There's more to it.

As reported here [Japanese site]:

You can register family members' data and record everyone's logs. This is teriffic. Wii's Mii feature is utilized here, too.*

I'm looking forward to seeing how this interface is applied to their future games.*

Aha!

There might be new games coming that utilize this technology. Skateboard games, snowboard games, maybe?

Apple's iPhone, Nintendo's Balance Board -- companies on the momentum go just beyond our imagination.
