    I loved this game so much as kid. It was fun and got me moving, but I never really broke a sweat on the Wii Balance Board. Only in the jogging game haha. Ring Fit really feels like the successor to making you fit!

      I never played Wii fit. Ironically enough, there was a Mario sports game where you could play four different sports. WITH NO MOTION CONTROLS, or at least very little motion controls. It's not very popular, but I loved it so much that I'd bounce of the walls and just get drenched in sweat. Ironic that you played a physically interactive game and never broke a sweat but a stationary Wii game was my exercise lol
      EDIT. I FINALLY REMEMBER, ITS MARIO SPORTS MIX...

    I'm having flashbacks to when Miyamoto told Retro Studios to give Samus a "bug's head" in Metroid Prime 1 and how everyone was completely bewildered as to what the fuck he meant by that until they realised he was talking about the visor mechanic. I want to know how many other Nintendo games were conceived because of bizarre and random ideas Miyamoto suggested. It's like working for The Riddler.
