Really strange for "jiggle" to be the reason since I certainly don't think it's looking for that kind of audience, it's rated 7+ in Europe so other rating boards didn't have the same issue.
It's classified G (General) in Australia, which means anyone can play it without restrictions.
For once, we're not the ones with the hilariously wrong game rating.

I came in expecting to see the gratuitous flopping moon-boobies from the DOA games, instead I saw a pretty subtle and realistic depiction of a woman performing exercise. What the fuck is wrong with the ESRB ratings people? How do they exist day to day with the obvious titillation of women existing near them and moving?
Fitness videos and DVD's in the UK staring female celebs have been a thing for decades, and I never saw them be anything other than rated as Exempt from classification. Breasts exist, and they have a tendency to move around a little when women do...it's not inherently sexual, it's physics. Ridiculous rating that exposes some weirdly deep-seated objectifying attitudes.

Just wear a "Rated T for Teens" tshirt and you should be fine !
So I guess this means we know who will win the fan vote to become Wii Fit Trainers' echo fighters.
You're god damn right!

Dude, I actually kind of want one of those now! That'd be hilarious! And a "Rated M For Mature" would be rad too!
From posts I've read in the past, I think developers (or publishers) rate games themselves using ESRB guidelines. If you mis-rate your game you can be subject to fines levied by the ESRB (probably depending upon how egregious the mis-rating is).
If a game developer (or publisher) is reading this, can you confirm or correct?
Yes, there exists a segment of the population which is hyper-sensitive about the human body. We can see evidence of it. They are being appeased by these guidelines (or application thereof).

It literally looks like there as much titty shaking going on as you would expect from someone wearing an appropriately fitting sports bra.... which is not much at all, probably less here actually.
Yeah, this is kinda weird.
Because breasts move. Is there a problem with breasts moving?
I've been playing the game for a week now and haven't noticed any boob jiggle.... Must be really minor.

Hmmm, do we ever had a case in the entire video gaming history since the birth of ESRB, where the ESRB would re-rate the game to a less restrictive rating before?It's classified G (General) in Australia, which means anyone can play it without restrictions.

I know they don't care about other ratings, but only specifically to ESRB, have they ever re-rate their ratings before? From R to M, M to T, T to E?
Any publicity is good publicity... I guess...
Maybe someone bought the game with the help of that Dualshockers article and this thread. It's the type of game the Switch was missing. Now we need the Wii Fit skin.
I meam this is silly yeah, but I don't get why y'all are laughing at the prospect of someone being "scared" of breast jiggling instead of realizing this is simply what happens when a feature in the medium has historically been used to objectify female characters instead of accurately depicting the way their bodies would work. The specific guidelines regarding this kind of thing exist for a reason, it's how it works.
Also this game looks kinda neat lol, maybe I'll get it.

My heart goes out to the numerous kids out there who have to masturbate to Fitness Boxing because where else are they gonna find moving images of breasts?
I can't really add anything that hasn't been said elsewhere, but I considered picking this up because Wii Fit boxing helped me improve my cardio, & I didn't even notice any kind of breast movement watching previews/trailers.
She shouldn't get an Echo until we get Fitty the Balance Board on the roster!

The "and busty" part is kinda important, but selectively taking parts of my post out of context is more fun I guess
