Loading ...Attention potential Wii Fit owners: if you’re over 300lbs, you need to find a new exercise game. Nintendo has just announced that the little white thing you stand on has a maximum weight limit, and 300lbs is the cut-off.
I suppose that every device who’s sole purpose is to be stood on has to have a weight limit, it just seems ironic when the device is being marketed as a fitness device.
Honestly, even if you’re not over 300lbs, the Wii Fit seems like one of those products that sounds like a good idea until you get it home. Then again everyone thought the Wii itself would lose its luster after a couple of months.

how sad, but almost everything that being step on or carrying things (such as elevator) has weight limit
hmm leme think this over, yeah a capacity sounds about right. I don’t see the irony maybe if it was lower like 125 then that would be irony but not 300, if you’re over 300 you should stick to DDR and burn it off with cardio then get that yoga on.
Well I am sorry but this is sad. To market this as being a item to help people with fitness and send it over here where obese people make up like 30% of the population should have had more thought. I am not quiet 400 lbs and was looking forward to this to assist in other changes I have made in my life. I love to workout and play the Wii as often as possible and get a good sweat going in boxing. I was hoping they would come out with something that would take it further. It is to bad cause they have really lost a very large market on the 300lb weight capacity.
LOL you said LARGE market with the over 300lb weight capacity!!
Quit it or you’ll make me laugh until i cry.
