Why? tape/dvds will be cheaper and theres FREE workout video's on TV.
I think it is very interesting. If it can accurately track your center of gravity, it could be a great combination with the wii mote for a Tekken style game. 
Of course, they'll never release something hardcore enough, but hey, perhaps it will trickle down to something. I still like the idea. Also for surfing games, etc.
Basically it's the same as the wii-mote, but for your feet. Really not bad.

It's truely interactive, and tracks your progress.
Lol, I that soccer competition btwn Reggie & Shiggy looks really fun. I think Nintendo's got another winner.
I've got to say, a lot of the material is dry... but I find myself nevertheless impressed. I can't deny the positive potential social and health effects of this system across a broad swath of the population - I think Nintendo's conference is almost more centered on communicating to the press that their march isn't just a fad, and... well, hey they're doing a decent job of it - even if a little boring.
Still, I have a hard time telling whether I liked this better or the Microsoft conference. At least there was something rather new here. I think the gameplay potential for the wii-feet and wii-mote combined is good, although right now they showed extremely little of it.
Unfortunately based on previous experiences I cannot trust Nintendo's platform to make good use of it, at least to suit my tastes, mind you! But maybe a third party will, let's hope so.

Dissapointing, as I though. All that wiifit/sports stuff is nice and all, but casuals arnt looking at E3, ''real'' gamers are and as far as that goes we basically only seen mariokart and even that wasnt exactly what I call great as it just seems to be a GC game with wii controlls bodged on, they didnt even bother to build a decent engine it seems.
True. But I know where my software money is going...

Ya, at least there were some new unexpected reveals here. All completely uninteresting reveals to actual gamers, but new never the less.
I would still rank it lower than Microsoft's conference. Just because there was absolutely zero I saw in that conference for me to get excited about.

I agree. The casuals don't even know about freaking E3.
Rather new anyway. I mean, we've had rumors of Super Mario Kart a week before E3. It was almost disappointing that it came true.
Well, E3 2003 has a contender, I think
They said it was fun to keep track of all the application users's weight and stability... Fun...
I really expected that they'd introduce a Pacman VS. version playable with the new board controller, it would have sealed the deal quite fine.
Anyway, good to hear Mario Kart has been confirmed and that it's in an advanced stage.

That head-bunting soccer mini-game looked fun I suppose, but hardly impressive and hardly anything we haven't seen done with an Eyetoy.
In fact, I'd argue that it's better done with something like the Eyetoy because at least that would track your actual head position, whereas the WiiFit board detecs your center of gravity and just move's the Mii's head appropriately regardless of where your head actually is in relation to the rest of your body.

I expected Health Pack but not a revival of Family Trainer. You can already do some exercise with a remote but it seems hardwares are very lucrative for Nintendo. (It suggests the rumor about Nintendo joining iPhone is very very unlikely)

Agreed, that was the best news from the conference, I think. I'm curious about the online comments, I wonder if it was just a "filler" comment to hide that they're not sure about how many players online will be available or a serious hint towards something... I hope something like 8+ racers, that'd be fantastic.

I thought this 1UP Blog play by play of the Nintendo conference was particularly hilarious Only because it totally derails toward the end as the writer is getting more and more frustrated with Nintendo.
