10-year old is a “Wii Fat” according to Nintendo
Wiifit gets it all wrong by telling a 10 year old girl she’s overweight when there’s not an ounce of fat on her.
Nintendo’s new Wiifit game recently assessed a ten year old child in the UK as overweight, even though she’s 4′9″ and weights only six stones (84 pounds).
Could Nintendo see lawsuits from angry parents claiming that the Wiifit software is turning their children to anorexia or giving them emotional problems to fight with? Well we do need to keep in mind that it’s only an electronic gadget for entertainment.
