הנה משהו שאני לא ידעתי שקיים, מסתבר שיש שתי פעילויות שאפשר לעשות גם שאתם צופים סתם בטלוויזיה ומקבלים הנחיות ישר מהרמקול של הווימוט.

Wii Fit itself is a completely new kind of software, but there are other new things within it as well. For example, it’s the first piece of software to have its own dedicated Wii Channel23.
Miyamoto
Wii Fit has a certain convenience to it that normal scales can’t match, but because it requires you to turn on the TV and Wii console first, you can’t get on it and weigh yourself right away like with a normal scale. Even if we can’t do much about that, we decided that we’d have to avoid the time it takes to put the Disc into the Wii console and start it up. That’s why we designed it so that
you can go directly into the software from a Wii Channel without the need to put in the Wii Fit Disc. You can look at graphs and do your daily measurements just by launching the Wii Channel. We’d decided this at a relatively early stage of the planning process.
Iwata
I think it was quite a good idea that when you look at the Wii Channel, you’ll have, for example, Dad’s Mii appearing with the text "Weighed on day x" like a news ticker. It could inspire situations like your daughter telling you "Dad, you didn’t weigh yourself today, did you?!"
Miyamoto
If you’re just weighing yourself, you can do it in 2 to 3 minutes, so I want people to do it every day without feeling it’s a chore. Also, the other new thing we’re trying is the mode with Jogging + and Step +, which you can play while watching TV24.
Iwata
In this mode, you can play while watching normal TV shows without the need to see a game screen. It’s actually one of the plans that I’d been holding on to, so I felt like I’d been beaten to it. (laughs)
Miyamoto
I’d wanted to use the idea for a while, and I knew there was no way I’d miss the opportunity this time around. For example, with Jogging +, the Wii Remote speaker will start beeping, and…
Iwata
Tell you something like "You have 5 minutes left."
Miyamoto
At the recent Nintendo Conference25, the presenter, Miho Nakai26 said to me, "You could even do it while watching a live marathon." I think it’d be quite interesting to run while watching something like the Tokyo-Hakone marathon relay race.
Iwata
So, now you can finally play games without looking at the TV, and just by relying on the sounds coming from the Wii Remote. But if you slack off, the Wii console can tell!
Miyamoto
If you don’t run properly, it’ll tell you to keep a steady rhythm. So if you then set the Channel back to the game screen, you’ll start to run properly, right? Once you’ve confirmed "All right, now I’m running properly" on the game screen, you can then return to the TV show you were watching.
Iwata
It feels quite strange playing a video game holding a Wii Remote while the TV displays something else on-screen, doesn’t it?
Miyamoto
Wii never sleeps. (laughs)
