    Default Obesity experts call for Wii Fit to be 18 rated.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1770

    Does anyone actually agree with this? I think it's a joke. Wii Fit is clearly advertised with BMI and if anyone has a problem with being called fat by a computer game, then don't buy it?

    I think people bring it on themselves.

    If you know your clearly not fat then a game telling you that you are shouldnt change that.

    My friend and her dad got put as "Overweight" but she just laughed because shes small for her age (17).

    I couldnt care less if the game told me I was a migit, giant, skinny, obese or whatever.

    She should of expected it to offend or upset her, after all it is a weight improvement game which is trying to be pretty frank and understandable for the users, would she rather it said underweight then growing up and believing her weight was acceptable?

    LOL!
    That's the best thing I've heard all day..
    So if she stood on a weighing machine that measured your BMI and said if she was overweight, would the government take that off the shelves?

    Most ridiculous thing ever, you buy WiiFit with the awareness that it will tell you if you are underweight or overweight, right?
    I sense that it's just another family trying to sue Nintendo, haha :eusa_wall

    Wii Fit does not tell you to go on a diet! As I said, clearly it talks about BMI on the adverts, on the box etc. They're blaming Wii Fit on pressuring diets but actually, it's more the media which does that. Wii Fit is there to have fun and I'd say its more for adults to lose weight and for children to play the balance games and actually have fun. Ugh, I just don't get why this is a serious issue whatsoever.
