Random Japanese Workers Wish Nintendo Would Gamify Their Tax Returns
Who wouldn't, right?
At the best of times, tax returns are absolutely dreadful.

Putting the rest of us to shame
It's fair to say that a number of us have some dusty Ring Fit Adventure Ring-Con controllers hiding in corners, wondering if they'll ever be used again. It's the curse of the fitness game - initial enthusiasm can easily make way for apathy within a matter of weeks. Well, not so in one particular case, which is a...

Don't try this at home, or anywhere else for that matter

Rated Teen?
only two comments?
I think Wii Fit is a really good game because you really help your body, and kids say that "They don`t." But one day, THIS IS TRUE! at gym class, we did running and I got tired but the morning after the next day I played Wii Fit and then in running I had MORE energy and MORE strength to run! So, since I am a kid, I find it good for kids too.
Well, imagine being the first to comment on a post in over 12 years. I bet most of you are either in college or have jobs of your own or even families now. I'm part of the next generation, where we live in a time in which we no longer make comments on old forum posts such us this. I wonder what the other next generation will bring us. We can only imagine.
