I skipped my wii-fit workout today, being up at the cabin with all the kids, i would have had to wrestle the wii from a dozen kids in order to get a workout (which may have been a good workout as well...)
Instead my brother in law cut and me and a my soon to be newphew-in-law stacked probably 30 cords of wood from the trees cleared to raise the cabin... Good thing i didn't workout too... I should sleep well tonight...
That didn't stop us from playing some of the balance games. One downside about the wii-fit is that it isn't really designed for multi-player, there doesn't seem to be a quick way to switch between mii's between activities.
The side effect of this is when a bunch of people want to try the wii-fit, they end up sharing a single mii account and just take turns at the games. The only apparent problem with doing this is that it seems that the sensitivity of the balance board is based on the weight of the person who setup the profile.
This actually helps in some games and hurts in others. If a heavy person profile is used and lighter people play on that profile, it seems to make it more stable for the lighter person (in salom skiing for example), however if the player is too light, they are unable to turn their skiis at all.
It would be nice if you could swap mii's from the + menu, it would make group wii-fit much more equitable.
