Even though Wii Fit U wasn't really a sucess, do you guys believe Nintendo would still release a Fit game?



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

I think Nintendo is trying to move away from all memories of the Wii brand now.

Could be a new brand. A Switch Fit.



God bless You.

Switch Fit?

Switch Your Clothes For A Smaller Size?

Switch Your Scales For The New Zelda Game?


... Will it have the gimmick of starting with "Switch"?

LOL, yeah.



God bless You.

I think a Switch Fit would actually be successful due to the Switch's portability and kickstand mode; it would allow people to exercise wherever they want as long as they have their Switch and balance board. I'm not worried about the development resources that would be taken away to create it since it's like between a low and mid-budget game but has the potential to sell millions of consoles to non-gamers.

The problem to me is that if they did make it, it would be like the red-headed stepchild of the Switch's lineup and a constant reminder of the Wii and its branding that Nintendo is trying to kill and bury. So, to me, they either don't do it or create a separate 'quality of life' type brand to put a Switch Fit game in that's advertised (and even sold) separately from the Switch's typical games. Like, even though they'd still have it available in a typical Gamestop, it's de-emphasized there but bundles and individual copies would be prominent in the fitness/health sections of places like Walmart, Kohl's, Kmart, Bed, Bath and Beyond and other places that the product's target demographic would shop.

I think there is a very high chance that you will see fitness games on the Switch.

I agree it would be a great idea to start a new brand. I understand the problem of the Wii brand.

Although it's not a core game, Wii Fit is a great product. The game + Balance Board + calorie tracker is one of the best fitness products out there, putting many mobile fitness apps to shame. As you said, if the Switch's portability, the product would be even better.



God bless You.

Nah, that fad has passed, surely Nintendo knows this. We probably won't see stuff like Brain Training or Nintendogs either.



I love workout games, I hope they make it. also, now that everyone has move controlers again, why not some cool workout games for PS4 as well? Come onnnnn



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

They will come. They are cheap enough to make, and they still sell well. Wasn't Nintendogs+cats one of the best selling 3DS for a long time?



You know it deserves the GOTY.
