wii fit? They're not kidding. I'm finding it hard to type this as my adrenaline is pumping. It is the most amazing piece of equipment i own. Nintendo has done nothing but produce good quality titles this year and this is the icing on the cake which has yet to be covered in smash bros brawl sprinkles! I LOVE JOGGING!!!
