This guy reads like one of those super-high energy infomercial “buy my ab machine” muscle-heads who can’t walk past a mirror without some kind of pec-flex.

I’m an internist. I have a patient who lost 30 lbs using the Wii Fit. I see it as a valuable tool, not “dangerous and addictive.”

I think that’s pretty sad, the Wii is only addictive because it is so much fun.

This man is nothing more than a big baby. The Wii is an innovative gaming system that actually gets kids moving. I don’t care if you’re “America’s Lifestyle Coach” (whatever that means), anything that gets you moving is healthier than just sitting there. Wii Fit is even better. I can vouch for Wii Fit’s health benefits. Sounds to me that this joker feels his pompous title is threatened by a video game, which I’m sure he thinks are inherently addictive/brain-killing/all the other misguided things adults seem to buy into about them without actually ever once playing one. To sue Nintendo, a reputable, quality-driven company that’s been making games for over 20 years, just shows everybody what kind of selfish, sue-happy, and ignorant “lifestyle” that you live, “Coach.”
