Working out the future with Shigeru Miyamoto

miyamoto wii fit

Miyamoto is already moving on to the next stage: web- enabled Wii Fit. Balance boards will be hooked up to the internet to enable users to compete live against anyone, anywhere. If Miyamoto has his way, we’ll all be doing press-ups at dawn and comparing ourselves with millions of others.

    Wow, that’s a terrible, patronising article. The author seems to spend half of it discussing games in terms of teenagers (hasn’t the author noticed the demographics of the Wii over the last 18 months?) and violence (Miyamoto?) before rambling on about how Wii Fit is “scary” because it allows you to compete with other people.

    The only interesting part is the end, where the possibility of internet competition is mentioned, but this only slightly. It also doesn’t make it clear whether wi-fi would be an addition to the existing game or some future version.
