We are both girls and I didn't care, she was kind of shocked but the difference between us is that she eats a lot of junk and stays skinny. I watch what I eat and exercise... and were were both called fat. xD After telling her that the game is innacurate she was completely fine with it.

But the little girl needs to learn to not give in to a GAME'S opinions. The parents aslo need to teach her that she should have a stronger mind. My parents taught me not to care about what other people tell me, and I know i'm not fat, so I really don't care.

In my opinion, Nintendo is in the right, the parents and the kid are in the wrong...

WOAH YOU'RE A GIRL???

And second of all, I have a thing to say to people all over the people who are shocked to see that kind of message : The truth hurts.

They shouldn't take it to heart. Wii Fit uses BMI which is flawed since it doesn't take in account bone structure and muscle mass. You could be thin as a rail and just be very built and Wii Fit might think your overweight just because it just judges your weight, height, and age.

I say they shouldn't pay attention to it. If a doctor says your overweight and need to work out or whatever but just because Wii Fit says you are doesn't exactly mean it is.
