WiiU Fit is amazing
Just wanted to chime in, years after release, to say this stuff is absolutely amazing. Today, i crossed my 50th pound lost, and after doing yoga for months, for the first time ever, I had it report perfect balance: This has been in addition to diet and exercise, mind you, but WiiU Fit has...

People get really upset by a piece of plastic huh? Wii fit was great. Depending on the structure of whatever this is I could be done for something similar. I used Wii fit for a little bit but my biggest problem was it was paced a little too slow for my liking. Took a little too long to go through the boot process and a little too much downtime between activities. If they can make an exercise game that's a little snappier then I'd love it. That EA Sports Active thing was decent as well but lacked some of the polish that Nintendo brings.
the Wii fit games were pretty fun. But the balance board was kinda bulky and you couldn't do all that much with it, so maybe these devices can be more versatile.
Yep, Nintendo is obviously going to can BotW and stop developing Smash DLC if this new peripheral succeeds
Selling to the -diverse and broad- casual audience can only do two things for their profile:
- Bring in new gamers. Tons of people with a Switch definitely never touched a Nintendo before DS and Wii.
- Give them a low-investment, high-reward product that only *grows* their resources, or at worst breaks even because of the low costs. This might take some dev resources away from core products, but clearly they aren't hurting for output right now. If it succeeds, that's more resources to dedicate to more demanding products that take years to develop.
Well back to the original poster's point them developing this is not going to get in the way of them developing online services.
In fact if this game has heavy online components as many of us suspect its success might compel them to work even harder on offering a robust online experience.
Not every game needs to be for every Switch owner, this is actually to attract different type of audience, having different type of games and experiences can only be good for platform not bad.
But Nintendo is focused on classic Nintendo stuff and on games, we just had hole Direct of classic Nintendo stuffs and games, this game or previous Labo games will not change that.
I love this random crap. I'll probably end up getting this cause it's always fun to mess around with at family gatherings.
First thing my wife said: looks like something we use at the gym
so yeah Wii Fit related. Looks fun!

I'm always conflicted about this side of Nintendo. While I always appreciate weird Nintendo, the controllers and peripherals that are the product of weird Nintendo are rarely things I like.
I love when Nintendo does wacky, fun, unique stuff like this merely so I can read the jaded, self-righteous responses from "real" gamers who aren't interested. This could end up being a steaming pile of shit. It could be awesome. No one has seen much yet other than you need to get off the couch and move.
(and it may not appeal much to me...or to you. But my grade school kids absolutely adored building Labo vehicles and vr - and want more for Christmas. Those happy memories working together and with us on projects will stay with them forever. So I'm not sorry if some new experience from Nintendo doesn't meet your personal gamer cred level. I understand saying 'This doesn't interest me.' But to anyone getting angry or completely dismissive of NIntendo trying new things? ridiculous.)

lol
and on that note...nothing will ever be as annoying as Ravi drums ;)
Nintendo should call this Switch Active just to mock modern EA by reminding them of past successes on the Wii.
This entire rig really looks like a proper evolution on EA Active.

I'm not angry. I like having fun.
I just thought the trailer was annoying.
Stoked about all the possibilities that could arise from the combination of the gyro and IR camera + the Pilates wheel. Not to mention the extra input from the leg strap. Knowing this is coming from the labo team, has me expecting some really creative ideas.
Gotta put my couch on Craigslist.

I am intrigued, the trailer was not impressive though. What's the point of the different cities, hopefully it is fun
Many of us are guessing it will have a big online component. Maybe like city versus city, maybe battle Royale style, who knows.
See, this seems like a good sign to me, because it means that Nintendo doesn't plan to stop releasing software that utilizes the unique features of the joy-con (detachability, HD rumble, the IR camera, etc.) just because they stripped that functionality out of the Lite. I think there's a lot of weird, interesting potential there and I'd hate for Nintendo to just abandon it after two years in order to accommodate buyers of their cheaper, more conventional handheld.
Yea I saw they were releasing a majority of the titles that were on the snes mini. Not super exciting.
At least this will be fully revealed first (9/12), well before the Switch Lite launch date (9/20). It may be a factor in some people's system purchase decisions.
I'm waiting to see more but I probably won't be interested in this.
But as always I'm really curious at how much WTF this product will be.

I just wonder if real gamers displayed a similiar level of smartness when Sony dared to release games which didn't push VR
First thing I thought of when I saw the leg strap. EA Sports Active > Wii Fit.Nintendo should call this Switch Active just to mock modern EA by reminding them of past successes on the Wii.
This entire rig really looks like a proper evolution on EA Active.
Thanks to it I got fit, lost about 80lbs and gained abs. The latter of which I lost after a weekend in Vegas. RIP.
I thought we were past all this, come on Nintendo you finally get your groove back and now you want to make people prance around in their living rooms again?
No thanks, but I'm sure there will be appeal somewhere, problem is we've seen it all before and got bored.

I love that Nintendo is keeping this stuff separate from their gaming focused directs. I'm fine with the company experimenting and they have a better understanding of what the core audience wants from them versus the wii days. No Wii Music E3 stage presence again thankfully.
