Speaking to The Times newspaper at the launch of Wii Fit in the US last week, its designer Shigeru Miyamoto explained that the game is causing a social revolution in Japan; something he'd like to see happen elsewhere too.
"In Japanese households suddenly new conversations are springing up between fathers and mothers, fathers and daughters, talking about Wii Fit," he said. "We would love that to happen in Britain."
He also added that, despite its benefits, Wii Fit is no substitute for proper exercise.
"Spending too long, staying in and playing any video game is not good," he admitted. "I always tell my children to get out on a sunny day and I, myself, went jogging in Central Park yesterday. But I do my stretching on Wii Fit. They work together."
Wise words from Mr. Miyamoto.
