Wii Fit is releasing, For moms, Wii might have the perfect Fit

Today Nintendo is releasing Wii Fit what might be the first big-budget console game that can pull in that ever elusive segment: mothers.

Officially, Nintendo said Wii Fit, an exercise and health title, is designed for an “expanded audience.” But the game, which goes on sale today, has the potential to attract what some marketers have called the chief household officer, a large but mostly unreached population of potential gamers.

The game’s novel appeal is delivered through an electronic Wii balance board controller, sold in a bundle with Wii Fit for $90. The board, with multiple sensors, measures a player’s weight and turns steps and shifts in balance into moves on screen.

“Most people don’t enjoy working out, but we believe most people want to maintain a fit body and a healthy lifestyle,” said Denise Kaigler, vice president of corporate affairs for Nintendo. “Wii Fit addresses that dilemma, allowing you to get fit in a fun and convenient way.”

“Moms have the purchasing power in the house, and this is a game that will catch her attention,” Torres said. “Look at the way they’re marketing it. They’re not reaching out to hardcore gamers, who they know will want to get it, too, for the mini-skill games. They’re showing off these other aspects like yoga and step aerobics that will hook a mom.”
