Nintendo has issued a response to those users of Wii Fit who… how shall I put this delicately… put the balance board at risk of death-by-crushing. You’re probably aware by now that the balance board has a 150 kg (330 lb) weight limit, but what does Nintendo suggest to you, chunky readers, who sit heavily above that weight category?

“The maximum weight for both game and accessory is 330 lbs (150 kg), which is stated on the Wii Fit packaging. If this is a product that can not currently be used in your home, you may wish to investigate a possible return of the product to the retailer where you purchased it. Or perhaps you would like to give it as a gift to someone you know who would enjoy it. I hope you find these suggestions helpful.”

So, if you haven’t already snapped the board in half, you can return it or give it to “someone you know who would enjoy it” (read: somebody thinner than you.)
