Hearing about Mario Kart Wii was a predictable surprise, Wii Fit was the real meat of Nintendo’s press conference. To introduce the product Reggie Fils-Aime, the President of Nintendo of America, came on stage to try it out. When you stand on the balance board, Wii Fit has the ability to measure your BMI (body mass index) and chart your progress. Reggie made a bold move by showing his BMI to the world during the conference and then played the soccer mini-game against Shigeru Miyamoto. Instead of putting these videos up on the Siliconera servers I threw them on YouTube in case other fellow bloggers wanted to use my awful shaky-cam footage.
