Wii will be Fit!

For those that have not seen the E3 videos of the Wii Fit demonstration, you owe it you yourself to check it out. It will be another slam dunk from Nintendo. Unfortunately, it will only serve to drive demand up for a console that is already in high demand and for most, unavailable.

For those that don't know what it is, it is a miniature version of a dance pad (it looks like a scale to weigh yourself) but much more sophisticated. It really is a piece of elegant engineering.

I may have missed it somewhere but I did not see any demonstrations of the Wii Fit being used in combination with the other Nintendo controllers. I have to believe that this is possible and will make for endless possibilities. I can't wait to see the creative ways this new addition will be put to use.

Frankly, I can't remember anything new or innovative from Sony or Microsoft. Did I miss something or are they just going to let Nintendo steamroll over the top of them?

There is a whole lot more new stuff for the Wii to see over at GameSpot.
