Let This Be Our Final Battle: Wii Fit vs. Big Mac

Following the words this random psychic detective had to say, GameDaily has forced two icons to face each other in battle: Wii Fit and a McDonalds’ Big Mac. (There’s more of a South Park connection, but we’ll get to that later.) With the Balance Board and delicious burger in hand, the two fought head-to-head in a variety of comparisons, including cost and emotional support.

Emotional Support

Big Mac doesn’t care if you’re fat, skinny, average, short, tall, stupid or a bigger fan of Burger King. In fact, it doesn’t even think. It just sits there looking all sorts of delicious. Wii Fit, however, is downright mean. Failing to balance properly during the initial BMI (Body Mass Index) test results in the game telling you that you’re overweight. Even worse, the game stores minutes played inside of a piggy bank, which may or may not suggest that Nintendo thinks you’re a cow. The creepy (and eerily white) personal trainers offer positive reinforcement, but that’s after the game punks you.

WINNER: Big Mac

As you can see, there’s absolutely no bias involved, and this is a good old fashioned standoff between the two sides. It’s an entertaining read, even if it does span 17 (short) pages, so you should check it out here.

(And if you wondering how I imagined to (once again) drag South Park into an article, consider this: Cartman is fat and enjoys fast food. There’s your Big Mac. Cartman also attempts to freeze himself so that the time before the launch of the Wii will seem like a mere second, and then embarks on a variety of dangerous tasks in order to obtain one when he ends up being unfrozen in the future. There’s your Wii. See, I really did think that one out. And you were skeptical.)
