Wii BMI test

Nintendo game designer Shigeru Miyamoto demonstrates the Wii body mass index test with the help of Nintendo North America President Reggie Fils-Amie at E3.

Yup. Even when their ideas weren't all game changers they were still creative at the very least. The major bummer with gaming accessories like this are since there weren't many games that used them, nobody bought them, which meant nobody wanted to make games for them. Same problem VR's been having for years now, even if the tech is really fuckin cool there's just not enough high quality content to justify the purchase for most people.

As someone who's played Wii Fit since I was 15, it's really neat seeing what the game looked like before it was released. The lil balance board's voice wasn't even added yet and there are some little differences in the interface compared to the final game. Like, I don't remember that graph on the balance board being there on the weight shifting section and the BMI measuring interface also looks a bit different. Also, the origin of an iconic meme phrase right here. XD

For the BMI you do need both the gender and the height, which I'm pretty sure they ommited and that may be why he was appearing as a fat person.

actually u dont need gender as bmi is adjusted for both, still bmi is inaccurate(not accounting muscle or other structures)and is just for giving a approximation

[@TheBcoolGuy]

If you're not in the know - BMI is not a useful indicator of health and it is a waste of your time to think otherwise. Yes, if it's really low or really high, you're almost certainly not in a good state, but it is not based on any observation of health. It's just a way of seeing how close someone is to being "normal", based on the almost improvised standards of those who invented it. It does not take into account muscle mass, it scales incorrectly at different heights, and it breeds a weight-obsessed mindset. I lift weights. I am currently about 195 lbs/88.5 kg, and I am 174 cm/5'8(and a half! 😎). I am pretty lean. Maybe 16% bodyfat. I am fit. I am very strong. But despite this, my BMI is still 29.2. I should be a flabby beast, right? But I'm simply not. I would have to lose a lot of muscle in order to get a "normal" BMI, and my health would be worse as a result (not to mention my happiness).

[@NamelessCth]

BMI is a useful indicator of health, just not for people who lift. As yourself said, the only problem about it is that it accounts for people who are not fat but have muscle to be called "unhealthy" by the standard, but that is the only excuse someone would have, and they would not even care about BMI at that point. Denying the usefulness of the BMI will grant problems for people who actually have to care about them, which are overweight/underweight people who are not healthy at all and find excuses to keep these lifestyle.

[@DoomKid]

Even for people who don’t actively lift it’s still often wrong. I’d have to be an emaciated twig to get below the “overweight” range. No thanks. I’d rather have some body mass (which certainly feels healthier than being a twig even if you aren’t a lifter).

[@JacobKinsley]

I'm literally skinny as a twig and don't workout and my body is fucked up and I'm slap bang in the middle of ideal

[@Pavlinka__]

@boocackeedquackhead8454 being overweight doesn't make you not weight obsessed though. there's plenty of overweight people who are miserable and taking notes of their weight all the time. being obsessed with weight can even lead to being overweight, y'know, if you can't lose enough weight, might as well eat to death, because there's no other point in life.

[@Gandhi_Physique]

@@DoomKidI just want to know what a "twig" looks like to you. Many people say that about me, but I'm right in the center of BMI scale and there are people definitely thinner than I am. I honestly feel like people are so overweight now, that normal people like me seem underweight to the ignorant. I am not calling you ignorant, I'm just elaborating as to why I would want to know what your definition of "twig" is, but you can't really explain that in the comments lol.
