You gotta’ love it when a video posted by some random YouTube user becomes so popular, Nintendo has to make a statement. It was being rumored that Nintendo had released the video as a viral campaign, but soon after they have quashed the rumor. The video shows some random dude video taping his girlfriend/wife/fiancee’ playing Wii Fit in her undies. The reason behind the speculation is that over 2 million people have viewed the video post. Also, the goofy kid that filmed it is actually a marketing executive. But Nintendo has 100% denied any Nintendo involvement in said movie. It’s not really surprising considering ’sex’ has never been a huge selling point for Ninty. The closest that Nintendo has come for utilizing scantily clad women, is the secret ending to Metroid.
Here’s the video, but I must warn that it’s not work safe. And it features a girl dancing in her undies, so might want to send the kids out of the room.
Well I was able to obtain a bonus movie, that hasn’t quite caught on in popularity yet. It seems a copycat has arose, this time the girl has taped herself. She is playing the boxing workout mode in some revealing attire. With this video I’m wondering if a new internet video sensation has caught fire. I’m usually not a fan of internet fads, but this one I might not complain about as much. Again, this isn’t work safe, and not for the children. *peers over shoulder to check for boss entering the room*

@ TinChan

@ Wii Fit
