It must be my lucky day. Thinking that tracking down a copy of Wii Fit was going to be a quest of biblical proportions, the first store I come across has one unit left. Perhaps it’s a sign- “We’re giving you this last Balance Board as a gift, my son. Get off your fat ass and make it count.” Maybe the fact that I’m hearing voices is a good indication that I should cut down on the red meat anyway. £70 is perhaps a bit steep, but should Nintendo’s latest phenomenon work it’ll be worth every penny. Upon arriving home, I pull the gleaming Balance Board out and it’s an impressive piece of kit- sturdy and good-looking. What comes next is not good for the self-esteem. Firing up Wii Fit, I’m asked to stand on the board for a body test. Apparently, I’m obese and lean to the right. “Great” I think, “I’ve turned into a Republican…”
