Some of our readers are concerned that they are too heavy for Wii Fit, and apparantely Best Buy is concerned about people who are too heavy will play the game as well. The Wii Balance Board can carry up to a certain weight, but someone who’s too heavy might kill the board. Best Buy is now offering a Product Replacement Plan for $12.99 so that you would be covered in case someone who’s too heavy breaks your Wii Balance Board.

Ever wondered how many calories you’re burning while playing some Wii Sports on your Nintendo Wii? The American Council on Exercise is a little late with their ‘Wii Sports fitness study’, but they did some great research. Here’s an overview of the calories burned per minute when playing the real sport compared to the numer of calories burned when playing Wii Sports:
Tennis:
The real sport: 8.1 calories per minute
Wii Sports: 5.3 calories per minute
Boxing:
The real sport: 10.2 calories per minute
Wii Sports: 7.2 calories per minute
Golf:
The real sport: 3.9 calories per minute
Wii Sports: 3.1 calories per minute
Bowling:
The real sport: 7.2 calories per minute
Wii Sports: 3.5 calories per minute
Baseball:
The real sport: 7.3 calories per minute
Wii Sports: 4.5 calories per minute
Off course everyone expected that real sports make you burn more calories than the Wii Sports games, but during their research they certainly didn’t play too active. The just flicked their wrists and didn’t throw their whole body into the game.
