Rather than a game, Wii Fit is more comparable to an exercise program. More specifically, it’s something that most people would consider playing in short bursts each day. A recent poll, however, shows that close to two-thirds of Japanese gamers are already giving up on the product. ITMedia in Japan took poll data from 1000 gamers and a staggering 64% of the participants said they stopped using Wii Fit after purchase.

Do you use Wii Fit faithfully everyday?

– 22% – I record my progress faithfully everyday
– 6% – Maybe once every two or three days
– 6% – Once a week
– 64% – Stopped using after purchase

The most recent issue of Famitsu included a bit of release date news for Mega Man 9 in Japan. The game is scheduled to release in September – perhaps surprisingly – and the Japanese website will open on July 15th. However, that’s not all for Mega Man. In Japan, both Mega Man 1 and Mega Man 2 will launch in July and August respectively on the Japanese Virtual Console, most likely in honor of Mega Man 9. This begs a question though: Will Capcom do something similar for the launch of Mega Man 9 in other territories?

“Rather than looking for specific thoughts from fans, I’d have to say this game ITSELF is basically fan-driven. It’s pretty clear that without the kind of deep fan love for Mega Man, and Capcom’s respect for those feelings, an idea this crazy would have just been laughed out of the room.” – Seth Killian, Senior Manager of Community Forums of Capcom

The folks over at Capcom has pretty “strong feelings” for Mega Man 9, so hopefully the game will be able to live up to the high expectations that most have set for the title.

Contrary to news posted in NGamer magazine, Skate It will feature balance board tricks available. IGN was able to take the game for a spin and posted some new media. Clearly, based on one of the images released by IGN, Skate It will indeed possess numerous balance board tricks.
