I should start by introducing myself. I'm not affiliated with Nutrisystem nor Nintendo. I'm just a guy who's been on the chunky side for as long as I can remember. I've joined gyms, bought exercise equipment, and tried diets. But I get bored after 5 minutes on a treadmill. And I love good food. Sound like anyone you know?
But it's the 21st century, and with it comes two giant leaps for mankind. First, a diet plan that doesn't involve complex calculations, group meetings, or bizarre rituals like removing the buns from hamburgers. Second, a video game system that not only gets you off your butt, but gets your butt off you. I've heard good things about both Wii fitness games and the Nutrisystem weight loss program, but I figured I'd see what happens when I put the two of them together. Follow my progress!

Tweet At first glance, The Hip Hop Dance Experience seems to be another in a series of “Hey! Let’s squeeze yet more money out of people who like Just Dance” games from Ubisoft. Usually when there’s a successful video game franchise, you’ll see a bunch of copycat games pop up to try to capitalize on [...]

Tweet A year ago I reviewed the original Nickelodeon Dance for the Wii. Well, a year later, Dora and all her friends from Nickelodeon are back with Nickelodeon Dance 2.

Tweet A few weeks ago I published my review of Just Dance 4 for the Wii U. As I know a lot of folks out there still are using the Wii as their main console (or have purchased a Wii U and are using their old Wii in their home gym exclusively for working out), [...]

Tweet Transferring data from your Wii to your Wii U is a step you do after setup, again a poor choice of timing because they force you to create a new Mii from scratch before you have a chance to port your old Mii over from your Wii. I just set up a dummy player [...]
