The way Nintendo's advertising for Wii Fit has been, it's clear that the firm has been, in the main, focusing its attention on luring women to the charms of its new title.
To see if they'd succeeded, Florida's Orange County Register invited a group of Mom-bloggers to their offices and gave them some playtime with Wii Fit. While a few of them enjoyed the experience, the majority came away feeling disappointed.
Referring to Wii Fit's developers, Jenny Angelici stated that Nintendo "don't know what girls want. They don't know what girls like."
Blogger Marcy Masura added, "I'm just not that impressed. I do love the concept, but the actual product has obviously disappointed me. It feels like something is missing – the games just weren't engaging enough for me."
Another Mom explained that after a while with Wii Fit, it's only the kids that'll be playing with it.

Interesting... well i don't see it as a very engaging product either... eyetoy kinetic worked better imho.
Thanks for commenting, Cruizd. =)
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what happens after the hype dies down; whether Wii Fit really has sticking power amongst the target audience Nintendo has been pushing the game at so much.
The Wii seems to have a lot of these. "Things that don't quite stick"
The Orange County Register is in California, not Florida!
