In defense of Wii Fit, Kicking excuses in the bum, and FEELING GOOD after exercise! Woo!
I don't hear much about Wii Fit anymore since it came out all those years ago, and even after the Wii U came out with the new (albeit very similar) version, it just seems like no one was terribly impressed with it as a fitness game.
