Comment of the game producer
[Wii Fit] at the beginning, fortunately, it is pushed forward at a cut end called the balance meter and was able to differentiate from a scale which was such a big deal while it was said that scales wouldn't be able to be sold so much.
Because both staffs of software and hardware cooperate together, we think "balance Wii board" is the result that was able to fuse the durability or the reaction velocity response for the load on the board with such as the designs, characteristics, and safety.
As the theme of "health", we concerned the specification of the software itself and took a priority for the safety to be used by wide range of customers, we would be happy if this [Wii Fit] is helpful to the health for all users.
Fortunately, it has been enjoyed by people all around the world after the release, and we are surprised to receive such a prize and also very honored. Thank you very much.
